Fabulous! Another reason to visit the beautiful Flemish city of Brugge.

What happens if they get a leak?
Can we volunteer to fix it?
Now where is my Hi-vis jacket

Which makes this all a little silly.......

Indeed a beautiful place to visit, but it's just a bonus for the brewery.

Why ? because it's still got to be trucked back once it's bottled. And it's one thing to tanker a full load as that's just pumping and movement.

It's handling requirements are multiplied manifold once it's bottled to warehouse and get delivered in a decent retail condition..........

And yes, I do have professional knowledge in regard of such things, hence, IMO complete bollocks.....

From my days of bar management, and mandatory weekly pipe cleaning to keep an ale tasting at its best, this does have me scratching my head.
But hey, what do I know?

Thinking of loud. Do they bottle at the brewery for the town and the pipe is for export. I have to say I scratched my head a little 'cos the idea of this is to keep the truck traffic to a minimum in the historic town.

The average bar "wastes" or drinks,(been there done it ) a couple of pints of drinkable ale for each ale due to pipe cleaning over a distance of maybe 10 or 20 metres.

How many Km's was that?
