Bars in the Veltins-Arena, a major football ground in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, are interconnected by a 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) long beer pipeline.

You're kidding right?!

If that's true, the beer is dispatched in uncarbonated form, similar to what is found in beer canisters, used in bars for tap beer.

I am not sure in what form it arrived @dek. But here is something else. A heavy metal music festival also installed a beer pipeline: http://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/wacken-open-air-festival-beer-pipeline

There have been also some milk pipelines in the Netherlands between an island an the mainland.

Interesting!

There must either be a lot of cows on that island or kids, which require milk.

It's not the only project in Germany.
Wacken also get's supplied by a huge pipeline now, but it's underground:
