davebg 0 Posted March 14, 2006 OSLO, Norway - A woman thought she was in heaven when beer instead of water flowed from the faucets 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, in west Norway. “We thought we were in heaven.” Beer in Norway is among the most expensive in the world with a 0.7 pint costing about $7.48 in a bar. Gundersen said she tried the beer but that it tasted a bit odd and was flat. 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 apartment. The bar got water in its beer taps. “If it happens again I’m going to order Baileys (liqueur),” she said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11811147/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davebg 0 Posted March 14, 2006 I find this hard to believe. Which part? The fact that they mixed up the pipes and she got a beer fountain or that a little over 1/2 pint costs almost $7.50 in Norway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D'ohmer Simpson 0 Posted March 14, 2006 Gundersen said she tried the beer but that it tasted a bit odd and was flat. This was probably not her plumbing, but the sad fact that most beers on tap are flat and disgusting. Bars hardly ever clean their tap lines. Pay a little more and get the bottle. Just hope it's not skunked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
