Bruges is a Belgian town rich in beer history, and De Halve Maan Brewery is its oldest. The brewery wanted to keep its original brewery operations at the historic town center location, while expanding its bottling plant two miles outside the city. There's only one problem—the city's small, congested streets have made transporting that beer a major headache. So, the brewery, and the city, came up with a plan to build a beer pipeline.

We've talked about the $4.5 million pipeline before when it opened last fall, but YouTuber Tom Scott got a behind-the-scenes look about how it all came together as well as an insider perspective on what the residents of Bruges thought about De Halve Maan's beer project.

The pipeline moves beer at a steady clip of about 1,000 gallons per hour. It takes a batch or beer about an hour to complete its two-mile journey. The project used only public roads to lay the pipeline, meaning no beer pipes ran under private residences—much to the chagrin of local residents with pipe dreams of tapping into the beer pipes.
