Hot and cold running beer... (bar keg taps mistakenly connected to plumbing in apartment complex)
Reuters ^ | 3/13/06

A woman thought she was in heaven when beer instead of water flowed from the taps in her apartment in west Norway.

"I turned on the tap to clean some knives and forks and beer came out," Haldis Gundersen told Reuters from her home in Kristiansund, west Norway. "We thought we were in heaven."

Beer in Norway is among the most expensive in the world with a 0.4 liter (0.7 pint) costing about 50 crowns ($7.48) in a bar.

Gundersen said she tried the beer but that it tasted a bit odd and was not fizzy.

It turned out that a worker in a bar two floors below had mixed up the pipes on Saturday evening, wrongly connecting a new barrel to a water pipe leading to Gundersen's flat. The bar got water in its beer taps.

"If it happens again I'm going to order Baileys (coffee liqueur)," she said.

Good lord, nobody loves beer more than me, but you have to be freaking insane to drink something that comes out of your tap yellow and smelly.

At least they got their priorities straight. I thought they'd be complaining about the water tasting like beer.

Hmmm, as a former drunk I think I could get a lawsuit out of this if I had been there. Just imagine if you will....

Well your honor, after nearly a decade of blessed sobriety I had my life back on track till that horrible night. I got up for a drink of water and that first swig sent me over the edge...

Well, then, obviously not in one of the affected plants...or else, only tied to the VIP urinals.

What an odd thing to add.
