Wow, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often. There is not much in the way of security at most beer distributors.

From Reuters here:

A thief made off with 180 kegs of Guinness beer after smoothly driving into the Dublin brewery which makes the black stout and snatching a trailer load of drink, police said on Thursday.
The lone raider’s haul also contained 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 barrels of Carlsberg lager, police said.

“A man drove into the yard in a truck and took a trailer containing the drink which has an estimated value of 64,000 euros (46.000 pounds),” a police spokesman said.

That Budweiser is the good stuff too. Bud in the UK tastes so much better than it does here in the US because they use more alcohol, which gives the familiar beer the full-bodied flavor it deserves.
