Organised by Heineken, the record-breaking event celebrated the now more than 1,000 pubs serving Heineken 0.0 per cent beer on tap.
This makes it the most widely available 0.0 per cent beer on draught in the UK - a significant milestone for making alcohol-free drinks more accessible.
To celebrate, pubs across the country, came together on a mass video call to pour pints of Heineken 0.0 per cent and Heineken in perfect sync.
The event was monitored by an official Guinness World Records adjudicator.

"This draught experience is central to pub culture, and for non-alcoholic beer to become truly mainstream, it needs to be part of that experience.
"It needs to be poured from the tap like any other pint, not just another option in the fridge.
"That's why we're committed to getting 0.0 on draught in pubs everywhere, because everyone deserves a proper pint, with or without alcohol."

‘From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' leaps into first position at the box office
The latest installment in the 'John Wick' series leaped into first position at the box office. 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,' pirouetted to the No. 1 spot Friday, its opener, raking in $10.65 million, according to The Numbers. The thriller, which The Post said 'has good fights, bad everything else,' is the fifth installment of the 'John Wick' franchise starring Keanu Reeves — and features Ana de Armas as a ballerina who doubles as an assassin. Landing in second was the live-action remake 'Lilo & Stitch,' with sales of $9.3 million. The film, which was slated to be a direct-to-streaming title on Disney+, went on to set the record as the biggest four-day Memorial Day weekend domestic opening of all time. 3 In 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,' Ana de Armas plays a ballerina who doubles as an assassin. ©Lions Gate/Courtesy Everett Collection 'I and the other filmmakers always believed that it could be a big, perfect summer blockbuster to go see on a huge screen,' its director, Dean Fleischer Camp, told Variety. 'I'm proud of how hard it delivers on that. It's super funny, it's action-packed, and it's super emotional.' Taking third was 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' with $4 million in revenue. 3 Maia Kealoha made her film debut in 'Lilo & Stitch.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Tom Cruise's stunts in the film just earned him the Guinness World Record for most burning parachute jumps by an individual.

No other actor or stuntman has come close to that amount of death-defying drops,' the record book stated on its website. 3 Tom Cruise earned a Guinness World Record for his stunts in 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning.' ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme,' which Slate called the filmmaker's 'worst yet,' was in fourth, with a $2.55 million dollar take.

Tom Cruise Does 16 Burning Parachute Jumps
Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning was one for the history books — and the record books, too! For 29 years, Tom has performed a series of death-defying stunts in the Mission: Impossible franchise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt. The eighth film, billed as Tom's final outing as Ethan, has grossed over $360 million at the worldwide box office. It also made $200 million worldwide in its first weekend, a record for the franchise. On May 27, Tom shared a message, writing, "This weekend was one for the history books!" congratulating the filmmakers, crew members, everyone involved in the production, and the audiences. Well, it wasn't just one of the history books, because Tom's proclivity to stressing audiences out with wild stunts landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records, too. During Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning, Tom did 16 burning parachute jumps while filming a climactic sequence on a plane. If you've seen the last seven Mission: Impossible movies, you'll know there's always a plane and Tom doing something really scary involved. In a behind-the-scenes video, Tom leaped to his likely death while the parachute caught fire 16 times, and each time he tried was more terrifying than the first. Right, Tom. Right. They're dropping this man a minimum of 7,500 feet in the air with a parachute on fire. They soaked the parachute in gas so his life net would catch fire when they ignited it in the air, while 62-year-old Tom Cruise is dangling on the other end, trying to deploy his backup chute. He can't be serious. This is wild. Sir. Tom, you have a problem. For performing this stunt 16 times, Tom was awarded the title for most burning parachute jumps by an individual. "Tom doesn't just play action heroes – he is an action hero!" Craig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief of Guinness World Records, said. "A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and pushing the boundaries of what a leading man can do. It's an honour to be able to recognize his utter fearlessness with this new Guinness World Records title." It's not Tom's first world record. He actually holds the record for actor with "the most consecutive $100-million-grossing movies for his 11 films between Jack Reacher (2012) and Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025). "Tom is no stranger to record breaking," Craig said. "Over his impressively long and consistent career, he's proved himself to be the most powerful actor in Hollywood and the most bankable star, and he's still the actor with the most consecutive $100 million movies on their resume and the most successful leading action hero at the worldwide box office."

Tom Cruise Sets Guinness World Record For Death-Defying 'Mission: Impossible' Stunt
Tom Cruise's quest to become America's most death-defying stuntman continues to pay off. The Oscar-nominated actor has spent the last couple of decades primarily focused on his action-packed 'Mission: Impossible' films — and just set a Guinness World Record for one of the most daring stunts in the series. The British institution announced Thursday that Cruise now holds the title for 'most burning parachute jumps by an individual' for leaping out of a helicopter 16 times before lighting his chute on fire in the latest franchise installment, 'The Final Reckoning.' 'Tom doesn't just play action heroes — he is an action hero!' wrote Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief at Guinness World Records. 'A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and pushing the boundaries of what a leading man can do.' Cruise and Paramount Pictures both posted behind-the-scenes footage of the stunt on social media. Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie can be seen plotting out logistics with the stunt coordinators and acknowledging the danger before Cruise attempts his jump. The stunt was filmed in the Drakensberg, South Africa. 'What I'm going to do is, I'm going to be deploying,' says Cruise in the footage, shot during a production meeting on location. 'If this is twisted while it's burning, I'm going to be spinning and burning. I have to kick out of the twist and then ignite within 10 seconds.' The result onscreen shows Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, forced to cut the burning nylon tatters free to deploy a reserve chute at the last second. The stunt was shot with a chute that was soaked in fuel to light on fire. Over the course of his films, Cruise has run along the exterior of the 163-floor Burj Khalifa in Dubai ('Ghost Protocol'), harnessed himself to an airplane during takeoff ('Rogue Nation') and base-jumped into a canyon after riding off of a cliff ('Dead Reckoning'). 'Tom is no stranger to record breaking,' Glenday wrote Thursday. Cruise does indeed hold another Guinness title for 'most consecutive $100-million-grossing movies' for an actor, for the 11 films between 'Jack Reacher' (2012) and 'Final Reckoning.' The latter hit theaters in late May and has grossed nearly $400 million worldwide.
