THE IRISH GARDAI (POLICE) ARE LOOKING for the brazen thief who stole 450 full kegs of beer right out of the Guinness brewery delivery yard.

The now-empty brewery yard

In the run up to Christmas there are more than 250 truck movements in and out of the St James’ Gate complex every day. At around four o’clock on Wednesday, a man drove a tractor into the yard where there were three or four trailers loaded with kegs.  He hooked up one of the trailers containing 180 kegs of Guinness, 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 kegs of Carlsberg, before calmly driving out the main gate.

It is the largest beer heist from the brewery itself ever.  The trailer was found yesterday afternoon…..empty.
