The only pipeline in the world for which any leak is regarded as a blessing.
The Wacken Open Air festival in northern Germany is constructing its very own beer pipeline to quench the thirst of its tens of thousands of head-banging visitors.
The tiny town of Wacken in Schleswig-Holstein is already prepping for its annual heavy metal fest in August, which will see its current population of about 1,800 people balloon to more than 75,000.
In anticipation of all the beer to be drunk, the fest is building its first ever beer pipeline to transport the average 400,000 litres of brew consumed each year to the concert grounds. And the pipeline system will be speedy enough for bartenders to draw six beers per second.
The Local (DE): German heavy metal fest builds beer pipeline to keep revellers pumped
Ladies and gentlemen, I submit this has got to be the pro team if ever I saw one. What good are some crumby Clydesdales when you need six beers per second.
Willkommen! Liebe Deutschland!
Tell me the tribal atomics don't kick into it ... you understand what that means.
