Oliver Strumpfel first set the world record in 2014, having carried 22 steins a distance of 40 metres at a bar in Milan.
He broke that record again in 2016, this time managing 25 glasses.
This weekend he took his glass-carrying abilities to the next level, successfully carrying 27 steins at an event in Abensberg, Germany.
Mr Strumpfel has said that he has to train at the gym to build the strength to achieve the feat, with the 27 mugs of beer weighing 50kg (110lbs).
For women, the German Anita Schwarz holds the record with 19 beer glasses.
She set the record on 9 November 2008 in Mesenich.
