Quote:The idea to create an underground beer hub was born by the owners of the brewery that stretches back to the 16th century. Wanting to save costs in the long run and ensure the longevity of their business, De Halve Maan brewery decided to take their trucks that used to run up to five trips per day off the streets of the UNESCO protected city center go Bruges.

“We faced some problems with heavy tanker trucks that have to bring our beer from here to our bottling plant that is 3 kilometers out of the town,” De Halve Maan managing director Xavier Vanneste told Ruptly. “That's why we were looking for other opportunities.”

“It was so important to find that solution for our mobility problem, because if we want to work in a modern way, from time to time we need to let trucks enter the historical city, and that is what we don’t like, because it is always a risk for the historical buildings and streets,” the mayor added.
