450 Kegs Stolen from Guinness Brewery

[Beep Beep!]

Dublin Beer Bandit Raids Guinness

By SHAWN POGATCHNIK

DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) — Irish police were hunting for a beer bandit who stole 450 full kegs from the Guinness brewery — the largest heist ever at Ireland's largest brewer.

National police said a lone man drove into the brewery — a Dublin landmark and top tourist attraction — on Wednesday and hitched his truck to a fully loaded trailer awaiting delivery to city pubs.

Diageo PLC, the beverage company that owns Guinness, said the brewery had never suffered such a large-scale theft before in its 248-year history.

Police said the raider took 180 kegs of Guinness stout, 180 kegs of U.S. lager Budweiser and 90 kegs of Danish beer Carlsberg. Guinness brews both of those foreign brands under license for sale in Ireland.

You're out there somewhere, Beer Baron! And I'll find you.

[NATE!]

where do you hide 450 stolen kegs?

Your bladder.

[TheGibson]

Defferding! Where's Defferding!?!?!

[SethInAz]

I would expect an Irishman to be able to pull this off, but then again I would expect an Irish brewery to have the highest security imaginable.

[changingshades]

Defferding! Where's Defferding!?!?!

Defferding lives in Wisconsin. I'm wondering where Howlett is and if he's in a guinness induced coma

I'm sure they'll be able to get at least 180 kegs back then :)

[half guard]

Your bladder.

i guess i should have asked where would you hide 450 kegs without getting alcohol poisoning. ;)

My heart aches for him.

I believe he's more of a cider man anyway.

all an elaborate ruse

Yes, that's what a man drinks. "I'll have a wee apple juice!"

[NickT]

Does he like the Wurzels too?

[Susan BANthony]

Yes, that's what a man drinks. "I'll have a wee apple juice!"

:lol: He likes the pear kind. Although I'm sure he'll take the regular stuff that's in my fridge at the moment.

My heart aches double for him. :lol:

Defferding! Where's Defferding!?!?!

I was out of town when that shit happened :ninja:
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Who would bother to steal Budweiser? Doesn't that come free, straight from the horse?

See it's not Mr. Das, it's the Corona, Ms Das. It's not meant to be consumed.

Mr. Steed speaks truth with one caveat. If one should ever so happen to find oneself doing something foolish as being at a bar at, say, eight a.m., when the sun has just risen above the horizon to break a new day, Corona provides a wonderful breakfast imbibement. Save that, it is not for consumption.

[Brian Defferding]

I can neither *hic* confirm nor deny *hic* any of that *BRRAAAAAP* :Oops:

[dasNdanger]

Under normal circumstances I'd be inclined to agree...however, I know my husband...gets tipsy on two sips of whatever alcohol is set before him. As soon as he starts saying, 'One ringy-dingy....two ringy-dingy...' - I know...I know it's time to take the half full bottle away, and have my way with him. :mrgreen:

He's the EASIEST date, EVER!

Thank you sir. I thought I was the only one. :)

Once we were at a bar, and Mr. Das ordered a fuzzy navel, and the bartender refused to serve him such a wussy drink, and made him order something more 'manly'. :roll:

I don't want to make it sound like my husband is lame. I'm actually very lucky that he's the way he is - alcoholics on both sides of his family, and his only sibling - a brother - has lost his license twice now for DUI. So...hubby might not be a drinker, but I'd much rather have him this way, then the other.

One of these days, you people will remember that I a) don't drink Guinness, and b) drink pear cider, but prefer BEER AND WHISKEY! :mad:

So... you don't drink beer, but you prefer beer.

[Howlett]

So... you don't drink beer, but you prefer beer.

Guinness is considered a stout, not a beer. It's made differently.

Stout = Guinness, Murphy's and a couple of other names I can't remember. Can't remember what it's made with, but the drinks completely black.

Cider = Bulmers/ Magners, Kopperberg etc. Made with apples, pears and other fruits. Generally piss coloured (the apple ones).

Beer = Everything else.

Budweiser = The exception to all the above. Actually camel piss in a bottle.

Aye, Stout is good.

But you're wrong about Budweiser being camel piss in a bottle. Fosters is camel piss in a bottle. Worst beer in the world.

[Howlett]

Glad you like it. Hate the stuff myself. Something in it makes me violently sick :lol: And no, not hangover, drunkness sick. ACTUALLY sick :p

And no, I'm not wrong about Budweiser. For I never said it was a beer. Fosters is indeed the worst BEER in the world. Budweiser is just some alcoholic liquid that also tastes like utter shit :D We're BOTH correct :lol:

Ah. So, to sum up, you're a big girl.
