turning water into... beer?

Hey everyone, let's move to Norway! Where the streets are paved with gold (not really) and people use beer to wash their dishes (really).

Says the article:

Haldis Gundersen was planning to do the washing up when she made the unusual discovery at her apartment in Kristiansund, west Norway.

But two flights below, workers in a bar faced the more disappointing realisation that water was flowing from their beer taps.


Apparently beer prices are stratospheric in Norway: around $8 American for a pint. A pint! So it was almost like having gold flow from the faucet, as opposed to using it for asphalt.
