Winnipegger Corey Gallagher wins Beer Mile World Championship

Winnipeg is still holding out hopes for a Grey Cup or Stanley Cup, but it can lay claim to the beer cup.

Winnipegger Corey Gallagher ran and drank his way to the Beer Mile World Championship in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday night, edging out New York's Michael Cunningham. 

 The competition requires people to run a mile and drink four beers.

Gallagher's time of five minutes was just shy of setting a new world record.
