The theft of beer kegs from pubs and breweries is on the rise in the UK, according to a recent story in The
Publican. Apparently beer isn't what the thieves are after, however. High prices of aluminum and steel are to blame,
with kegs being worth around £50 (approximately $90). One brewery actually reported a theft of 100 kegs in 13
minutes one night. Some thieves are even posing as beer distributors collecting empties. Local police are urging pub
owners to keep their kegs in more secure locations for now.
