A woman thought she was in heaven when beer instead of water flowed from the faucets in her apartment in west Norway.

“I turned on the tap to clean some knives and forks and beer came out,” Haldis Gundersen told Reuters from her home in Kristiansund, in west Norway. “We thought we were in heaven.”

Beer in Norway is among the most expensive in the world with a 0.7 pint costing about $7.48 in a bar.

Gundersen said she tried the beer but that it tasted a bit odd and was flat.

It turned out that a worker in a bar two floors below had mixed up the pipes on Saturday evening, wrongly connecting a new barrel to a water pipe leading to Gundersen’s apartment. The bar got water in its beer taps.

“If it happens again I’m going to order Baileys (liqueur),” she said.

There's apparently a lot of sheep sh1t to run barter town though.
Rumors of a lot of sheep sh|t are inaccurate. "A lot" doesn't come close to describing the amount of sheep sh|t.

Overall it is pretty lame.
There's some cool places to hike to...




But the trails are a little too buff...



Lots of public nudity....



And those damn American tourists stopping everywhere to take photos...




Not to mention an XO derailleur costs $400 usd and a pitcher of stout is $50 (taxed on higher alcohol content).
