An innovative idea to solve one small Belgium town's beer transport problem has been found.

This medieval town of Bruges, Belgium is a tourist haven known as one of the best places to drink Belgian beer.

However, not much of it is made here anymore - most of the breweries are long gone, except for De Halve Maan, the only one left within the town's walls.

For 160 years Xavier Vanneste's family has been brewing beer within the walls of Bruges.

The problem started back in 2010 when the brewery moved its bottling facility out of town creating a bottle neck of beer truck.

He said this is the best way to keep the family tradition going.
