I suppose he didn't have time to sort through the contents of the trailer before driving off, but Budweiser? Ugh. I guess he could always use it on his lawn...

I love the way the Irish think.

DUBLIN, Ireland - A thief made off with 180 kegs of Guinness beer after smoothly driving into the Dublin brewery, which makes the black stout and snatching a trailer load of drink, police said Thursday.

The incident took place Wednesday at the Guinness brewery on the banks of Dublin's River Liffey where Ireland's trademark tipple has been brewed for almost 250 years.

The lone raider's haul also contained 180 kegs of Budweiser and 90 barrels of Carlsberg lager, police said.

"A man drove into the yard in a truck and took a trailer containing the drink which has an estimated value of 64,000 euros ($94,770)," a police spokesman said.

Ha, that's funny! That reminds me of in high school, we always used to try to figure out schemes on how to steal beer on Saturday night after midnight (can't sell beer on Sunday here). We never had the guts to try anything, this guy really had some nerve!
