From Kansas City Irish Fest Special Purloined Pints Correspondent Kevin Bundy:
Reuters: 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.

The thief was later identified as Kansas City Irish Fest Special Purloined Pints Correspondent Kevin Bundy.

How can Budweiser kegs have that much value?
