Bruges is a medieval, fairytale city in Belgium where winding canals beg couples to stop for a kiss, cobblestone streets slow time down and where, by summer's end, beer will flow underground.

It may have all the markings of an urban legend, but De Halve Maan brewery is making the beer lover's fantasy come true with the construction of an underground beer pipeline that will carry suds from the centre of Bruges, to its bottling plant outside the city.
