Oslo (dpa) - Many a beer lover may dream of having free beer on tap at home. That dream came true over the weekend for Haldis Gundersen of the western Norwegian city of Kristiansund, reports said Monday.
"I thought I was in heaven," Gundersen told the online edition of Verdens Gang after experiencing how beer flowed freely from every tap in her apartment on Saturday evening.
Heaven turned out to be hell at the Big Tower Bar, located two floors under Gundersen's apartment: Water, not beer, flowed out of their beer taps.
Brewery experts were summoned and discovered the cause of the fault.
"I was going to change beer tanks and of course I connected them wrongly," bar tender Ann-Mari Rande, 31, said.
Gundersen, 50, later admitted that the free beer flowing from her faucets did not taste all that good since it lacked its fizz (carbon dioxide).
