Just when you thought the buzz around the beer mile may be wearing off, Canadian Corey Bellemore goes out and sets a world record.

Bellemore, by far the fastest beer mile in the world, lowered his own world record in the four-beer, four-lap event on Saturday in California. According to a video posted to the Beer Mile World Classic page, the new mark was reported to be 4:32.95. A comment on the video states the record time has been updated to 4:33.6.

Bellemore first set the beer mile world record on July 28, 2016, becoming the first person to break 4:40, and then lowered the record again to 4:34.35 days later on July 31.
