The idyllic Belgian city of Bruges will soon be richer for an unusual attraction - a three-kilometer beer pipeline! The picturesque medieval town, which with its cobbled streets, canals and clock towers resembles a fairy-tale city, fulfills the bold prediction of pipeline mastermind Xavier Vannest (De Halve Maan Brewery), who was called a dreamer by those who do not believe in fairy tales, but now that dream is becoming a reality. The beer will flow underground in September 2016.

The Czech Republic is known as the land of beer. But that can change in the future, and maybe Cuba will take care of that. It owes the Czech Republic an enormous amount of money.

And since Cuba does not have the 264 million euros it owes, it proposed to repay the debt to the Czechs with its famous rum (Cuba is one of the main producers of rum in the world). If they accept the offer, the Czechs can expect a "lifetime supply of Cuban rum", as they will have enough for more than a century!
