German hard rock festival to get beer pipeline

[dunkace]

[QUOTE]An underground beer pipeline is being laid for the Wacken Open Air (WOA) hard rock festival, which kicks off in northern Germany in August.

It is part of a new 7km (four-mile) pipeline network, which organisers say will make the event more eco-friendly.

The beer flow rate should reach six glasses every six seconds, thanks to the 35cm (14-inch) diameter pipeline.

WOA is one of the world's biggest heavy metal events. The line-up will include Megadeth, Alice Cooper and Trivium.

On the WOA website the organisers say the pipelines are an investment to make the festival more sustainable and cost-effective.

Beer trucks will no longer churn up the fields every day to reach thirsty fans. The pipelines will meet strict hygiene standards, they stress.

Besides beer, pipelines will also be used to deliver water to the site and remove effluent from it.[/QUOTE]

Could be that they come in a package of five every fifth second.

With oil leaks, the ecosystem gets destroyed. With [I]beer[/I] leaks, the ecosystem becomes [I]absolutely hilarious[/I].

I for one approve.

Probably the most German as fuck article I've ever read.

Genuinely curious what the environmental impact of a beer leak is.

It would be a national tragedy.

[Plaster]

I'd totally go there but the music isn't really my taste but I do want to be a guy who drank beer from a beer pipeline :thinking:

[Sunkite]

Would've been fun if they had it the year I went there.

Guess there is no excuse for not getting fucking hammered there now.

[Joey Skylynx]

Legit: I'd pay bills to have beer, whiskey, cider, or other liqours pumped straight to my house via a tap.

Make beer a utility.

I wasn't aware Wacken Open Air went from metal to "hard rock" over the last year. Disappointing.

Been there every year since 2012. It got worse over the years, and I don't expect the beer pipeline to make it anymore comfortable for visitors.

Drink enough from the holy beer pipeline and any music will be of your taste

I was joking but that's depressing.

Same line but they pump keystone in it. No one would know the difference

One of my patients was telling me about Belgium and how they have a pipeline straight to the bars from local breweries. She said it was the best beer she'd ever had

Imagine draining 7km of scuzzy beer out of the line after its been sitting unused overnight :v:
