The total cost of the pipeline ran to 4 million euros, partly raised through a crowdfunding campaign, and it can carry about 4,000 liters of beer is pumped an hour, equivalent to about 12,000 bottles.
After the pipeline is officially opened, they'll be no need for expensive and noisy trucks to move the precious liquid around the city.
“It was so important to find that solution for our mobility problem, because if we want to work in a modern way, from time to time we need to let trucks enter the historical city, and that is what we don’t like, because it is always a risk for the historical buildings and streets,” announced Renaat Landuyt, Mayor of Bruges.
