Six new brewing vessels arrived into Dun Laoghaire harbour this weekend, destined for St. James’s Gate. The 4.24 khL vessels each have space to store 750,000 pints of beer and will provide Diageo with extra fermentation and maturation capacity. The vessels represent an investment by Diageo of nearly €10m.

i’ve an awful thirst looking at that.
What kind of measure is “khL” supposed to be? kilohectolitre?!
After doing some quick maths, that’s exactly what they’re going for. I’m pretty sure that’s not how SI prefixes work, Sasko, but I am open to correction.
It doesn’t seem right, its like saying I have a 10 kilo-gigabyte hard drive
I came here to find this out… 750,000 pints is 426,196 L which is ~ 4.24 khL… 10^3*10^2=10^5
I’ve never seen unit prefexes used this way
The UKs biggest brand.

Wow. That’s almost ten thousand pints of Guinness.
Only 750,000…? :(
They’ll never get those on the DART.
You’re not allowed briñg cans on the dart.
Really? No-one’s ever stopped me having a sup of a Saturday evening. I assumed it was the same as any other railway service.
They reminds me of one of transport modules from Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles http://www.adventuresinpoortaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/003.jpg
Guinness do ‘craft beer’.On a small scale of course.They wouldn’t want a monopoly or anything.
only 6 ?
I’m so happy for Diageo. They can profit even more now in their near monopolistic market.
The same back in 2013.
Two of these were heading up the m7 towards Dublin at 3.30 am on sunday morning. must have taken a wrong turn if they landed in Dun Laoghaire….
