A medieval town in Belgium has gained international fame for being the coolest city to live in. the Belgian city is constructing a beer pipeline to help get the local's get their favorite tipple much faster.

Local authorities in the Belgian city of Bruges approved plans to create an underground pipeline to transport beer on Tuesday. Agence France-Presse reported that the pipeline was set to connect the historic De Halve Maan brewery with a bottling factory that is two miles away.

The pipeline will eliminate the need for five hundred trucks transporting the beer through the small city streets each year. The trucks, it is reported, cause a lot of noise, traffic and environmental pollution.

"The idea is born of environmental and quality of life concerns, and not economic ones," the company's director Xavier Vanneste said, according to AFP.

De Halve Maan is a popular tourist attraction in Belgium.  The brewery hosts 100,000 tourists every year and is a major fixture in Bruges. Residents of the city became wary of the loud trucks that disturbed the peace in the small town. The brewery, in response, decided to fund the pipeline.

The pipeline is designed to carry more than 1,500 gallons of beer each hour. It is also expected to drastically reduce the transportation time of the beer to the factory.

"The beer will take 10 to 15 minutes to reach the bottling plant. By using the pipeline we will keep hundreds of lorries out of the city center," Xavier Vanneste, the brewery's director, said. Alas, whichever the reason for the pipeline, we are getting closer to the realization of a worldwide dream of a beer sink in every home across America.

The pipeline is not the first of its kind. A beer pipeline does exist in Gelsenkirchen, Germany where brews are pumped into a large stadium. Lucky bastards.
