Bruges, Belgium is a medieval, fairy-tale city where cobblestone streets slow time down and winding canals beg couples to stop for a kiss. It may also be a frat bro’s heaven where beer flows underground.

The brewery has recently created a beer pipeline which will ship beer straight from the brewery to the bottling plant, two kilometers away, through underground pipes running between the two sources.
