OSLO, Norway (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...

They'd probably wonder why the urinal was hooked to the faucet.

Hey Cheesefood, where you been? Daddy duties getting in the way of brewing?
