The cobbled streets and canal paths of Bruges are world famous, but politicians are tired of huge beer delivery trucks (500 per year) cluttering the roads. Their solution is to build a beer pipeline under the streets to connect the De Halve Maan brewery to a bottling factory two miles away.

The pipeline will pump 1,500 gallons of beer per hour, and take 10-15 minutes to make the journey from the brewery to the bottling plant.

Bottoms up.
