Canadian Corey Bellemore broke his own world record in the beer mile by one second on Saturday night, lowering the four laps, four beers standard from 4:34.35 to 4:33.6. The race was held during halftime at a professional soccer match in California between the San Francisco Deltas and Jacksonville Armada.

Bellemore distanced the accomplished field by more than 30 seconds. Garrett Cullen, who owns a 4:54.5 PB, took runner-up honors in 5:07.5. Corey Gallagher, a former world record holder with a best of 4:48.62 and one of only six men to break 4:50, was third in 5:14.9. Brandon Shirk, the fifth-fastest beer miler of all-time with a 4:47.72 PB, was disqualified for puking.
