The "De Halve Maan" brewery in Brugge/Bruges has found a novel way of transporting its beer the 3km from its brewing hall to its bottling plant: an underground beer pipeline.

From tomorrow, thousands of liters beer will be pumped beneath the cobbled streets of the medieval Belgium city, which is a UNESCO-protected site. Part crowdfunded, the new underneath pipeline means hundreds of truck trips a year will no longer be necessary.

Brugse Zot is the brewery's best-known beer, being available in 30 countries.

4000 litres - how much is pumped an hour (the equivalent of 12,000 bottles)
4 million euros - how much it cost
340 000 Euro by crowdfunding (470 investors)
3 kilometres - the total length

470 investors have joined the crowdfunding. Those who joined could pay 220 Euro for bronze membership, 800 Euro for silver membership or 7500 Euro for a gold membership card of the crowdfunding scheme. The 21 that paid to become gold members receive a bottle of Brugse Zot every day for the rest of their lives. The silver members receive a crate of Brugse Zot every year. The bronze members receive a 1l bottle, every year, on their birthday.
