This is a bit of an oldie, the record I mean, for simultaneous beer mat flipping with two hands.  This is two piles of beer mats flipped by two hands at the same time.

Set back in March 1987 by Dean Gould, he successfully flipped two piles of 65 beer mats in each hand, a total of 130 at the Feathers Public House, Felixstowe, UK.

Unfortunately, there are no public videos of this record or photos, so Dean please get in touch so we can share if you have anything.

Alternatively, if anyone out there wants to try and beat this record, it’s been standing for over 20 years!

The current World Record holder for flipping beer mats is Mat Hand.  He successfully flipped 112 beer mats on 9 May 2001, after 4 hours and 129 attempts at Waterstone’s Bookshop Gallery, Nottingham, UK.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any videos to show this, but it is a Guinness World Record.  If anyone does have a copy, or Mat, should you be reading this, it would be great to share.

There is an action photo of Mat flipping a pile of beer mats that can be seen here.

Here is a great video of Jim Haysom on YouTube flipping a stack of 45 beer mats blindfolded, which originally set the World Record in July 2008 for beer mat flipping blindfolded.

The record was beaten in March 2009 with an incredible 71 beer mat flip by Dean Gould.

The beginning

So why on earth is there a website about beer mat flipping?

Firstly, there comes a point when searching the web, that you find yourself asking this very question.  Thankfully, this website solves that one, and this is just the beginning.

Secondly, out of some bizarre talent being able to flip beer mats, people do actually search the web for beer mat flipping.  Google Analytics is enough to prove that one.

Thirdly, when you find hundreds of videos on the web of other people flipping beer mats, you come to realise that you are not the only one, so showcasing these will add some social kudos.

And lastly, launching a worldwide video competition on YouTube for beer mat flipping pulls all these things together, and should be a lot of fun at the same time!
