More Than 310 People Fought In The Biggest Balcony Battle Ever In Pilsen

Last Friday afternoon, the good people of Pilsen were surprised by the look of hundreds of soaking wet and laughing people. The Borský Park became the scene of the biggest water–balloon battle in the history of the country. „We, together with fans of non–traditional fun, just wanted to finally bring the summer to our lands. I am sure that this event enhanced the refreshment and pleasure brought to all participants by our new products: mixed beer beverages Gambrinus Lime & Elderberry, and Gambrinus Crisp Lemon,“ Jan Doležel, Gambrinus Brand Senior Manger said. A record-–reaking 310 people came to enjoy the water balloon battle of Gambrinus. „The participants, divided into the teams of Crisp Lemon and Lime & Elderberry hurtled an unbelievable 16,200 water balloons,“ Luboš Rafaj of Good Day Agency, recording the Czech records, added.

„We all were the victors since we all managed to set the new Czech record together. To celebrate, we have prepared plenty of mixed drinks of Gambrinus Crisp Lemon and Gambrinus Lime & Elderberry. I am pleased since all present evaluated our novelties as an excellent refreshment for upcoming summer days,“ Jan Doležel added.

The Pilseners’ achievement will be recorded in the Czech Book of Records; how long it will stand will be revealed next Friday already, when a similar event takes place in Brno. „I am curious to see how eagerly South Moravians will run into the water balloon battle and for our new beverages,“ Jan Doležel tossed the glove to water balloon fighters of Brno as an inspiration for them to beat the record.
