Great Guinness Toast

The Great Guinness Toast is an annual event that takes place across the world, usually on the 3rd Friday of February, also known as "St. Practice Day". The event is considered to have repeatedly broken the world record for largest toast.

History

In 1993, Guinness, authors of the book of world records and purveyors of stouts, ales and lagers, decided to establish a new world record, the world’s largest toast. Apparently, since its inception, The Great Guinness Toast has consistently grown and breaks its own record each and every year.

In 2001 and as captured in the Guinness Book of Records, over 300,000 adults, age 21 and older, raised their pint glasses of Guinness. The Great Guinness Toast will be held in more than 60 cities across the U.S.

The Great Guinness Toast was started by the folks of Muhlaney's Harp & Fiddle Pub in Pittsburgh, PA. The toast in 2007 was on February 16, 2007. The toast in 2008 (15th Anniversary of the Toast) was on February 15, 2008.
