Charring a barrel - looks like a kerosene pot on the left (?). Bought these photos at an antique shop in the US. The vintage trucks caught my attention.

Loading yard

Truck exiting the yard. Maybe a Bedford?

This must be before they started to chill it so much that you can't actually taste the stout.

I used to play battlefield with a British guy who'd get pissed when we called Guinness beer. "ISS NOWT A BEEEAR, ISS A FOOKIN' STOUT!"

I grew up not far from there and used to love the smell of them roasting the hops.

What is the location?

It’s in Dublin, Ireland. For a long time it was the world’s biggest brewery.

Thanks! There were other photos of huge stacks of barrels. Must have been some tough guys to move those - even an empty oak barrel is heavy.
