Kitchen faucet spews beer in pipe mix-up

OSLO, NORWAY — Haldis Gundersen turned on her kitchen faucet over the weekend and discovered that her water had turned into beer; two stories below her, employees at the Big Tower Bar were confused when water came out of their beer taps, according to a March 13 Associated Press article reported by ABC News.

In a botched plumbing job, a bar employee had accidentally hooked up a beer hose to Gundersen's water lines, creating a mix-up that baffled everybody, the article said.

According to the article, Gundersen tried the beer but said it was flat and "not tempting."

A local beer distributor had helped the bar reconnect the pipes by telephone and said the beer and water lines were touching, but he insisted that someone would have had to have been "very creative" to switch the pipes, the article said.

In the article, Gundersen reflected, "Maybe it would be easier if they just invited me down for a beer."

... and she doesn't have to even drive home.
