They Must Have Had Cravings for Budweiser


The Gardai are on the hunt for an audacious thief, who calmy drove his rig into the Guinness Brewery in Dublin and hooked up and took off with a large quantity (around 40,000 pints) of Budweiser and some of the local beer, loaded on a trailer.

The local Guinness spokesman seemed a little naive in his response to the media.

"The haul has a significant value given this time of year. We have more trailers coming in and out this time of year as we are coming up to Christmas.

"What could they possibly want with all that beer?"


How about drink it?

I visited the Brewery in the mid 80s and did the tourist bit. Very fun. I was interested in the even larger heist last year when half a million pounds worth of cans of lager were taken. Now that would be easier to fence than kegs of Guinness.

considering the difference between bud and guinness...the brewery may have assumed much less security was needed for the bud than what would be required for good beer.
