Lincoln Square Fountain Spouts Beer

In late September 2012, Lincoln Square's Giddings Fountain turned into something more awesome than the pretty fountain it is—a beer fountain.

It wasn't just for fun—the fountain is the centerpiece of a commercial for Portland, Ore., brewery Henry Weinhard's. The beer fountain idea is something of a legend. Via the website:

One time when the city of Portland unveiled a public fountain, Henry offered to pump beer through it. The city declined citing a fear of rowdy horses. They always blame the horses. But that was just Henry's attempt to make good beer easy to find.

We're not sure how they happened upon Giddings Fountain, but we'll take it.
