Beer Pipeline!

The Register: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/06/06 ... _pipeline/]Belgian brewery lays 3.2km beer pipeline

De Halve Maan, a brewery in Bruges, Belgium, is close to starting to use a pipeline to deliver beer from its brewery to its bottling plant.

Alas, they aren't offering connections to pubs and restaurants along the way.

The one pipeline no-one will object to.

... I dunno, I can imagine a few who would object to it.

Most likely reason they don't offer connections to everything along the way is because it'd be too hard to guarantee the pipes remained clean and the product of sufficient quality.

I can think of another reason they don't offer hookups: if I'm reading the article correctly, there's one pipeline, and the brewery brews more than one type of beer. If you want to offer hookups, you have to guarantee what's going to come out of the pipe at any given time. (If somebody gets a dark when expecting a blond, or vice versa, or cleaning water instead of beer, there'll be complaints.)
