Photos: Work in progress - world record breaking Star bottle tree

Nigeria’s leading beer brand, STAR has commenced the building of the largest bottle tree in the world made with 8000 beer bottles at Eko Atlantic Bar Beach Stretch, Victoria Island, venue of the much anticipated Lagos Countdown 2014.

The STAR Bottle Tree will stand, as an iconic landmark shining on into the New Year 2015.

A first of its kind in the country, the Star Tree symbolizes the greatness of the Nigerian spirit personified by Star Lager, the country's first indigenous beer brand.

The Star Tree, when finished will break the current World Record of 1000 beer bottles being held by the Chinese in the city of Shanghai for being the first tree made with 8000 beer bottles.

Fans and lovers of innovation were not left out in the process of building the Tree as they submitted empty bottles for the record-breaking feat. Follow conversations on social media, using the hashtags #ShineInto2015 #StarBottleTree
