Why steal so much beer?

Stealing such a large quantity of Guinness suggests organised crime, likely aiming to sell it on the black market. This could involve illicit pubs, unlicensed events, or even exporting it to avoid taxes. The sheer volume makes it harder to hide but potentially very profitable if successfully distributed.
