Woman Gets Beer From Her Kitchen Faucet

AP

It almost seemed like a miracle to Haldis Gundersen when she turned on her kitchen faucet this weekend and found the water had turned into beer.

Two flights down, employees and customers at the Big Tower Bar were horrified when water poured out of the beer taps.

By an improbable feat of clumsy plumbing, someone at the bar in Kristiandsund, western Norway, had accidentally hooked the beer hoses to the water pipes for Gundersen's apartment.

"We had settled down for a cozy Saturday evening, had a nice dinner, and I was just going to clean up a little," Gundersen, 50, told The Associated Press by telephone Monday. "I turned on the kitchen faucet and beer came out."

However, Gundersen said the beer was flat and not tempting, even in a country where a half-liter (pint) can cost about 25 kroner ($3.75) in grocery stores.

Per Egil Myrvang, of the local beer distributor, said he helped bartenders reconnect the pipes by telephone.

"The water and beer pipes do touch each other, but you have to be really creative to connect them together," he told local newspapers.

Gundersen joked about having the pub send up free beer for her next party.

"But maybe it would be easier if they just invited me down for a beer," she said.

I love that "it's raining beer" commercial, now we have life imitating art. Oh, and magic fridge!

Didn't something like this happen in the Old Testament involving striking a rock with a staff and water or wine came out ? (LOL) Oh how we reject today's small miracles!

I would have gotten quite toasted before making the call on the fix.

It took ya a while to answer to BG. I'll bet you checked every faucet in the house and a heater hose on the Dodge first...

Reminds me of when my girlfriend had an apartment in the
Baltimore Block here in Atlanta, we would go down stairs
to the "One Eyed Jack" bar and fill up a waste paper basket
with beer. Lots of good memories of that place, on New Years they would open all the connecting doors between apartments and it was one big open house.
We used to rappel out the windows, we were cavers then.
I remember her brother came up from Hazelhurst Ga. and
we got loaded, he put on a hard hat with an acetylene lamp on it and went next door where there was a "house" and told the madam he was a fire inspector.
My wonderful youth.
