Belgian Town is Creating Beer Pipeline to Cut Back on Traffic
Belgium Venice is taking measures towards being one of the most beer delivery efficient places on Earth. The city has approved the construction of a three-kilometer polyethylene pipeline that connects the famous Brouwerij De Halve Maan brewery to its bottling plant located in the outskirts of the town.
The point of the pipeline, according to the brewery’s CEO, is to keep as few delivery trucks on the streets of the 500-year-old town as possible. GrubStreet reports that the beer delivery vehicles account for 85 percent of Bruge’s truck traffic. From the brewery the beer is said to take about 10-15 minutes to travel to the bottling plant.
Though residents of the town shouldn’t make plans to tap directly into the line for free beer. Sources say, the Brewery will find out.
They’ll find out.
