From USA Today:
Beer burglar steals 450 kegs from Guinness brewery
In a daring and apparently unprecedented bit of crime, someone broke into the Guinness brewery in Dublin yesterday and stole 450 kegs of beer and stout. And the manhunt is on.
Ireland's national police force, the Garda Siochana, announced the nationwide manhunt earlier today. A lone man drove into the brewery Wednesday and hitched a fully loaded beer trailer to his truck, driving away with 180 kegs of Guinness stout, 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 kegs of Danish beer Carlsberg. Guinness brews the latter two under license.
The kegs held the equivalent of 39,600 British pints and they had a value of about $235,000, the police estimated. Diageo, the company that owns Guinness, says it's the biggest theft in the brewery's 248-year history.
The historic brewery is a major tourist attraction. |

Is there any other place on earth where there is a nation wide man-hunt for stolen beer? |

Fans who have been forced to watch Damon Huard/Brodie Croyle are known to need excessive beer to "cope". I suspect this is common in the immediate surrounding areas of Arrowhead Stadium, no? |

"Act like you've been there before"
There is some wisdom in that statement as it relates to posting on a message board...

Yep...we have , from what I have seen, lost nothing in terms of our ability to provide stimulating, controversial and most all, entertaining posts to the board. We are as relevant today as we were years ago-and this my friend, infuriates some. |

ironically, SV - my beverage of choice is Carlsberg. I dont care for Guinness that much! Budweiser is good enough as far as American beers go.... |

This thread is making me thirsty, too.
So Gazza, go ahead and drink the Carlsberg and save the Guinness for sometime when Riffy visits you. Save the Bud for me.
