BRUGES BELGIUM... 
THIS MEDIEVAL TOWN IS A TOURIST HAVEN 
KNOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO DRINK BELGIAN BEER
BUT NOT MUCH OF IT IS MADE HERE ANYMORE... MOST OF THE BREWERIES ARE LONG GONE
EXCEPT FOR DE HALVE MAAN... THE ONLY ONE LEFT WITHIN THE TOWN"S WALLS... 
(Erin McLaughlin, Bruges, Belgium) "This brewery had a big problem. the streets of this town are simply too small to accommodate the large tanker trucks required to transport the beer from the brewery to the bottling plant. so the solution is right over here. A two mile long beer pipe. underground. and this is where it begins." 
FOR 160 YEARS XAVIER VANNESTE"S FAMILY HAS BEEN BREWING BEER WITHIN THE WALLS OF BRUGES. THE PROBLEM STARTED BACK IN 2010 WHEN THE BREWERY MOVED ITS BOTTLING FACILITY OUT OF TOWN CREATING A BOTTLE NECK OF BEER TRUCK. HE SAYS THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO KEEP THE FAMILY TRADITION GOING.
(Xavier Vanneste, De Halve Maan Brewery) "I think we are the very first one to do this." 
ENGINEERS DRILLED THROUGH THE TOWN"S CANALS AND COBBLED STREETS...ALL TO LAY A PIPELINE MADE OF HIGH END PLASTIC. IT"S CAPABLE OF TRANSPORTING 4000 LITERS OF BEER AN HOUR.
Q: How did the residents react?
A: (Xavier Vanneste, De Halve Maan Brewery) "We received a lot of people spontaneously asking us to pass along their house. They just had one condition they wanted a tapping point a private tapping point. 
Q: "Are you worried about people tapping into your pipeline?" 
A: "We are pretty sure this will technically not be possible." 
THE PIPELINE"S POPULARITY GAVE VANNESTE AN IDEA... CROWDFUND THE PROJECT"S $4.5 MILLION PRICE TAG.
HE CAME UP WITH A SCHEME TO EXCHANGE DONATIONS FOR BEER.
LOCAL RESTAURANTER PHILIPPE LE LOUPP GAVE OVER $11000... AND NOW GETS FREE BEER FOR LIFE. 
(Philippe Le Loup, Poules Moules Restaurant) "I drink it every day but its more for the friendship" 
AND THERE"S NOTHING LIKE GOOD FRIENDS AND THE CRISP TASTE OF FRESHLY BREWED BEER.
(Erin McLaughlin, Bruges, Belgium) "The pipeline is still under construction. the beer is expected to start flowing at the beginning of summer. In the meantime, let"s have a taste. Erin McLaughlin CNN Brugges"
