Water turns into beer for surprised Norwegian

OSLO, Norway (AP) -- You may have seen that T-V commercial in which a supposed "magic fridge" dispenses bottles of beer.

To a Norwegian woman, it may have seemed like magic when beer began running from her kitchen faucet.

But it was a nightmare to the bar two flights down when water poured out of their taps.

A clumsy plumber accidentally hooked beer hoses to the water pipes to the woman's apartment.

She says the free beer wasn't all that magical, though. It was flat and not tempting, even in a country where a pint costs nearly four dollars.

The beer distributor got on the phone to talk the bartender through the process of reconnecting the lines the right way.
