OSLO, Norway - 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.

Pöng!
From what I remember reading, Norwegian beer isn't all that easy to distinguish from water (and true of Scandinavia as a whole except for Denmark).

Reminds me of that commercial. Guys are playing softball, it starts to rain, and one guy yells "IT'S BEER!" and they all start collecting the "rain", finally comes into a pub and yells "IT'S RAINING!!!.....Beer"

Eh, not impressed. I once got beer from a toilet...no, wait, that actually was a 40 oz. Schlitz!

It's also an old bootleggers trick.

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

It's also an old bootleggers trick. I also recall a story about some Poles using a small water pipe to smuggle beer across the Polish border.

I have an old friend who used to chase bootleggers around North Georgia who told me about this one. They would fill the hot water tank with hooch.

Scandinavians are more into their spirits I believe. And in my experience can keep up with the best of them!

First it was the magic beer fridge at the Super Bowl, not a magic beer faucet. I guess this is what they mean about the house of the future having conveniences like no other.

Another great American said it first - Ben Franklin. While I love both Homer and Benji, I gotta give 'ol "poor Richard" His props.
