My Goodness, thief drives off with 450 kegs.

Patrick Logue

Dublin's famous Guinness brewery has been the victim of an audacious theft, gardaí said today.

A man drove a truck into the brewery on Victoria Quay, Dublin 8, yesterday and hitched up a trailer containing 450 kegs of different beers.

He then left the premises and escaped through Dublin's city traffic.

The haul contained 180 kegs of Guinness, 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 kegs of Carlsberg and has a total value of €64,000. In the pubs, the loot would represent approximately 40,500 pints and a whopping bar tab of approximately €160,000.

Officers in Kevin Street Garda Station are investigating but a Garda spokesman said there was no sign of the missing truck, trailer or its driver.
