Guinness Beer Heist
If I didn't know better, I'd say either Steve from Cymru66 or the guys over at Redneck Bar & Grill were responsible for this. The reason I know it wasn't them is that Steve couldn't fit all that beer in his Mini Cooper and Tim and Ernie only drink Blue Beaver Beer.
Anyway, here's what went down: The biggest Guinness beer heist ever.
It happened in Dublin, Ireland, where they make the stuff. The beer bandit got away with 450 kegs of beer, which included 180 kegs the dark and filling goodness that is Guinness Stout. For some reason 180 kegs of Budweiser (blehhhh) were also on the truck and 90 kegs of Danish Carlsberg beer.
Police say that it was a one man job, and that the guy drove up to the brewery and hitched his truck to a loaded trailer full of Guinness beer that was waiting to be delivered to the pubs and just drove off with it!
All in all, 39,600 pints of beer are missing. No one got a good look at the man who took it either. The retail value of the beer was over $235,000!
So, police are looking for someone having the muther of all parties, or someone who is bootlegging beer to the pubs.

Steve: You'd be set for a couple of weeks at least, huh?
