The pipeline means the brewery can stay in its current location within the town center, where it has been brewing for the past 500 years. The last beer tanker left the brewery last week, Halve Maan said.

有了啤酒管道，意味着Halve Maan啤酒厂可以继续在市中心的现址酿制啤酒，正如过去500年来一样。该啤酒厂称，最后一辆运输啤酒的罐车已经于上周离开啤酒厂。

The pipeline was partly financed by a crowdfunding campaign, which raised more than 300,000 euros of the four million needed. Halve Maan said it set a record for crowdfunding in Belgium.

建造这一啤酒管道的部分资金来源于一个众筹活动。啤酒管道工程需要400万欧元，而众筹活动募集了30多万欧元。Halve Maan啤酒厂说，这刷新了比利时的众筹纪录。

The pipeline is 3,276 meters (2 miles) long, and runs 34 meters (111 feet) below the surface at its deepest point. It passes under the town's historic canals and ramparts. Roughly 4,000 liters of beer, enough to fill 12,000 bottles, flows through the pipeline in an hour.

这一啤酒罐道长3276米(2英里)，最深处离地面有34米(111英尺)，途经该镇历史悠久的运河和堡垒。一小时内流经该管道的啤酒约4000公升，可装满1.2万个啤酒瓶。

It is equipped with the latest technology to ensure the quality of the beer is maintained throughout its journey. It also has a cleaning and flushing system to keep the pipe clean.
