It’s got to be some evil wine drinker conspiracy. Somebody call Jack Bauer.

This is clearly the End of Times. I hope it's not the End of Guinness, though. Mmmmmmm...

Save the Harp vats, first!
I hope they get everything under control, quickly. What a tragedy. I've been there to that building.....on that tour. GREAT place (obviously).

I heard one of the firefighters fell into an open vat and drowned.
Of course, he climbed out four times to pee!

Fears for Guinness supply after Dublin fireThe Guinness brewery fire will raise fears about a shortage of the Black Stuff, as Guinness is known locally, over the Christmas holidays.
Clearly it was a major fire with 11 fire brigades at one point being called.
The country is flooded with returned emigrants and tourists over the holiday period and the first order of business is usually toasting friends and good fellowship with a pint of the black stuff.
A Guinness shortage would rank right up there with a national emergency. Fortunately, it is likely that supplies have been ordered well in advance for the Christmas season.
Worse, however, it may put a downer on one of Dublin's biggest attractions, the Guinness Store House, where visitors every year get to witness up close and personal the Guinness magic. It is a multimillion dollar revenue-generator badly needed in these trying times. No details yet, but obviously that attraction is now closed, but here's hoping if it is, it will be temporary.

Good thing they like their beer warm.

"Pecker" is an old British slang word for "mood," "spirits," "level of enjoyment," "mental state."
During WWII, US Army troops arriving in England aboard ship we welcomed by a huge billboard that overlooked the harbor, excuse me, harbour. It read
"Drink Guinness Stout
It Keeps Your Pecker Up!"
