A PIPELINE PROJECT EVERYONE WILL APPROVE: This summer, a two-mile pipeline that carries beer will open in a Belgian city.
“In the beginning, everyone thought it was kind of a joke,” Vanneste told The Washington Post in a phone interview. “Something like an underground beer pipeline would never be possible.”
So he spoke with some friends who are used to transporting a slightly more viscous liquid.
“I talked about it with some people I know in the oil and gas industry, and they said, ‘Why would it not be possible for beer?’” he said.
Not only is it possible, it’s opening this summer.
For all the EU’s bureaucratic malaise, Vanneste is getting his pipeline built in just four months, while in Obama’s America we don’t have any beer pipelines at all.
