We all know that college is synonymous for party, but the students in Sweden are trying to make a bold new stand. rather than getting wasted in dorms or bars, they decided that having beer in the Student Union.

Now wanting to have beer in college is no big deal, but they wanted a local brewery to construct a pipeline of liquid courage to the Chalmers University of Technology Student Union hall.

To make their demand more impactful, about 50 students went to Carlsberg Brewery in Falkenberg and protested the creation of the pipeline. Back in 1959, the Chalmers University Student Union purchased one stock of the local pub, until it was purchased by another company in 2000.

“Hopefully we’ll get a pipeline relatively soon,” student union chair Alexander Westerling told the Göteborgs-Posten (GP) newspaper ahead of his negotiations with the brewery.

The School has been pushing for the beer tunnel for over 50 years and only about 6 feet of pipe has been laid. Not long after the seige of the brewery, they received word from the negotiation table.

“We’ve listened and accepted their demand. We’ll soon start construction on one metre of pipeline,” said Carlsberg spokesperson Göran Orre.
