A Beer Pipeline for Bruges
The family-owned brewery de Halve Maan converted an unusual project: it laid a beer pipeline under the old town of the Belgian city Bruges to deliver its beer, brewed in the city center, to its filling plant on a greenfield site. The pipeline was inaugurated on 16th September 2016 and has been fully operational since this day. BRAUWELT International talked to Xavier Vanneste, brewery owner in 6th generation, about the challenges of this adventurous project.
