A thieving bastard managed to steel 450 kegs of beer from the Guinness Brewery in Ireland on Wednesday.  A single man drove into the Dublin brewery and hitched a trailer full of beer to his truck and then proceeded to drive out the front gate.  This is considered to be the largest beer heist in Guinness history.  A choice quote from the news report:

 Police said it would be difficult for the thief to sell the stolen beer without attracting attention, unless he has criminal associates who own a network of pubs.

Hmm.  Possibly the IRA?  Just a hunch.

When I was in Ireland last year there was public outrage because Guinness was transitioning to a new system of beer distribution… Trucks.  They were doing away with delivering beer by train and going with the more modern approach.  As you can imagine the Irish were furious as this led to beer arriving at the pub not as quickly as by train.

And now we learn this.  I will say there is no way a man would have been able to do this if the beer was on a train.
