There is, it seems, a World Record for everything, including the world’s largest bloody Mary bar.

And who better to break that record than the place with the best bloody bar in town: the Happy Gnome.

On April 9, the gastropub will create a bar to end all bars and beat the record (kept by the World Record Academy) currently held by the Silver Grill in Old Town Fort Collins, Colo. The Silver Grill had 45 items on its build-your-own bloody Mary bar, and the Gnome intends to crush that record by offering 60.

The event will take place from noon to 4 p.m., a day after the Gnome’s 10th annual Firkin Fest, and will be held in the Gnome’s parking lot. Admission to the event, which will be ticketed, is $25 and will include a brunch buffet, a keepsake glass and Surly draft beer for purchase.

The bloody bar spread will include house-made mixes (the Gnome’s Thai basil is our favorite), booze from local distillers, meat and cheese from local purveyors and cheese mongers, and of course, a snit of beer. Surly Hell will be the featured snit for the event.
