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."

See Tom Cruise defy death in exclusive 'Mission: Impossible' deleted scene
Tom Cruise's daredevil "Mission: Impossible" stunts are so cool, it's hard to believe that anything gets left on the cutting-room floor. But editing is important to the filmmaking process, and director Christopher McQuarrie had hard decisions to make in crafting "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" (available to buy Aug. 19 on digital platforms). One of the biggest moments in the action adventure is a dizzying sequence involving Cruise's superspy Ethan Hunt and a harrowing biplane chase, and USA TODAY is exclusively premiering a nifty aerial scene deleted from the film. Near the end of this eighth "Mission" installment, Ethan is in airborne pursuit of villainous Gabriel (Esai Morales), and has to navigate – in death-defying manner – going from his biplane to Gabriel's mid-air. McQuarrie filmed 400 hours of footage that ended up being distilled down to a mere 15 minutes. Join our Watch Party!

It's the first of a two-part stunt where Ethan tries to climb onto Gabriel's plane, our hero's foot hits the control stick, and the plane goes into a nasty roll where Ethan is hanging out of the thing precariously before getting his bearings back. McQuarrie's film editor, Eddie Hamilton, kept telling him it was "redundant," though the director "of course resisted that," McQuarrie says. But "it could go and so it went." In addition to an array of deleted scenes, the "Final Reckoning" digital release includes a bunch of bonus features that dig into Cruise's stunt work, including notching a Guinness World Record for most burning parachute jumps by an individual.

Watch: N.C. woman recaptures world record for Coca-Cola collection
Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A soft drink superfan from North Carolina recaptured a Guinness World Records title when her collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia was tallied at 5,623 unique items. Lenoir resident Debbie Indicott was first awarded the Guinness World Records title in 2020, when her collection was tallied at 2,028 items, and by 2023 her record had increased to 5,070 items. She lost the title later in 2023 to fellow collector Jeffery S. Fouke Jr., who had amassed 5,237 items. Indicott has now recaptured the title with 5,623 items. She said her collection was initially a source of friction in her family. "My husband's father worked for Pepsi for many, many years. So, in the beginning it was kind of a no-no to have Coke and definitely to have it in his household," she told WSB-TV in 2021. "But as my collection grew and grew he finally came to accept it and appreciate it, and he enjoys looking at everything too." Indicott said her love of Coke started with a simple color. "The red is, I think, what pulls me in, there's something about that bright red. Whenever I'm looking in antique stores, anything red draws my attention," she said. Solve the daily Crossword
