Beer from your faucet - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Saw this today, every redneck's dream.

Woman gets beer from her kitchen faucet
OSLO (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.

There is a heaven!

I remember some Adam Sandler flick where he had Fruit Punch coming out of a water fountain. Beer out of a faucet is deffinately a one up.

This would solve Texas problem of drunks in bars.
Have them stay home and order beer thru their taps using cable tech.

Only in Texas, EH!

Well... if you like beer. My opinion of beer is that they should have left it in the horse

We rigged up my friend's bug in high school (with the push button w/w fluid) to work as a vodka shot dispenser - it was routed into the glove box. Great for ski trips...

...never busted either.

Not that I condone that behaviour...
