Beer Run

Someone in Ireland drove into the Guinness factory in Dublin with a truck, and took off with a trailer loaded with 400 kegs of Guinness, Bud, and Carlsberg beer. That's an impressive beer run.

According to the article:

• "This is likely to be the largest carry out of drink this Christmas" I would hope so. Hmm, who's up for 500 kegs! Anyone?!?
• "Police will be on the lookout for any large quantity of stolen drink flowing through Dublin's traffic." Yeah sure...finding "large quantities of drink" in Dublin will be a breeze. There's only a bar on every corner.
• "They were able to find the trailer, but all the kegs were removed" Removing 400 kegs from a trailer without being seen...that's impressive.

Obviously, the impact of the worldwide shortage of hops is starting to take its toll on the beer marketplace.

I would have left the Bud and Carlsberg kegs, but that's just me.

Gas Prices, Oil Prices, And Now This?!?!?

A worldwide shortage of hops will mean higher beer prices worldwide for the foreseeable future. This definitely provides more leverage to repeal the beer tax but weakens this argument.

PBR

Seen outside a bar in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen/Clinton neighborhood today:

Fixed Income Special
8AM-4PM Pabst's Blue Ribbon - $1.25

If you have to ask wether the deal was for cans or bottles, then you just don't know... PBR at 8AM...now that's dedication. I would have taken a photo but I was driving.
