The Belgian city of Bruges has an unusual problem: its cobblestone streets are too narrow for large beer trucks to pass through. Determined that nothing should come in the way of fresh beer, a brewery in the heart of the city has laid an underground beer pipeline.
The 3,276m-long, 34m-deep pipeline connects the production facility of De Halve Maan, a 100-year-old brewery, to its bottling plant. This, the brewers claim, is aimed at reducing truck-related traffic snarls, which hold up beer deliveries in the city.
The line runs under historic canals, the underground parking at Zand Square, and city ramparts, among others.
Bruge's beer lovers now have one long lifeline.
