AWW!!! One of the benefits of living in below freezing whether!!

[sasquatch]

Ice cold beer that sits outside to cool:beer: Nothing's better than Spaten that sits out in whether in the teens:D

1. It's so cold in Chicago that it'd freeze and blow up.

Heading to zero tonight. Today reached a high of about 9 above. Lovely weather we're having.

[sasquatch]

4. Alcohol doesn't freeze

Try it:7 BTW how many lake effect snowstorms have you had

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. No lake effect snow here.

In fact, barely any snow. I have had bottles of wine blow up on the back porch from the cold, learned my lesson.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. Pure alcohol does not freeze, but beer is far from pure

and it does indeed freeze, popping tops off and denting ceilings.
Some other things that freeze...
Diet Dr. Pepper cans freeze and shoot across the room.
Coke just shatters the cans... no projectile
Wine turns into a slurry-type icee drink which is quite good.

19. Yeah, lovely weather in Chicago...

However, it is making my not having a refrigerator a lot more tolerable -- stick that 12 pack of 7up on the windowsill, and let it chill (window closed, of course -- it still works :D).

[AngryYoungMan]

2. Sounds great!

cheers. I just have a fridge...

[RC]

3. I thought you were gonna say

No skeeders.

[sasquatch]

5. That too

Also Rednecks hate the cold:evilgrin:

[BiggJawn]

7. darn double-post...

See? Even the internet's so cold it's sluggish tonight

[BiggJawn]

8. Since I don't drink, that's of dubious merit...

Damn, I'm COLD!!! wish I had something other than a "MYCOAL" heater to snuggle....

It's 2 above right now, prolly be 5 below by morning.

Oh, and the wind's howling at 15 to 20, too....

[sasquatch]

9. Damn, where are you at?

In Cleveland they're having a lake affect snowstorm right now. I'm lucky because I live in SW Ohio an we haven't had any percipitation.

[BiggJawn]

10. The Gawd-forsaken plains of Northern Indiana...

Like Lake Wobegon, but not as interesting...

[bobthedrummer]

12. It was -11 this morning in Green Bay

with -30-35 windchill.
I don't drink:smoke:

[Interrobang]

11. If I left beer outside, even in this weather...

...someone would steal it off my front porch.

Then again, I could bury it in the *60 cm* (two feet!!) or so of SNOW... Bleah.

[gator_in_Ontario]

26. that is funny

I was bringing groceries in and could only carry either the ginger ale, or the Canadian. (I live on top of a pool hall/tavern) So....the ginger ale waited for the next trip! I actually reasoned that it had a better chance of still being there...and beer does freeze! A lesson I just learned recently....

[Lydia Leftcoast]

14. What I like is that

I can go grocery shopping, put the groceries in the trunk, go somewhere else for a few hours, and the frozen foods will still be fine when I get home!

[bobthedrummer]

15. It's great to pull something out of the oven and get a quick cool-down

for a cake or whatever too. Just put it outside for a few minutes!

[Beaker]

17. what I hate is that

sound the car door makes when it's really cold out- that strange creaky sound, and that metal CLANG! when you shut it...it just sounds cold.

[BrewerJohn]

16. But you lose most of the benefit of a fine beer like Spaten

By drinking it ice cold. Store the swill outside, but for the good stuff, you want a cellar
at about 50 F, that will keep your taste buds thawed and active!
:toast:

[sasquatch]

18. Have you had Rauchenfelser Stienbrau

It's a good German brew that has a caramely taste to it:)

[Kellanved]

23. I'm always amazed

by the number of German beer brands not available in Germany. Outside their town of origin that is.


Well, I'll stick to my Berliner Pilsener ("Du bist so wunderbar Berlin", www.berliner-pilsener.de), even though it's too cold to cool it outside.




PS (FYI "ei" is pronounced like "ai"; "ie" like "ee". :hi:)

20. In college, we used to hang 6-packs out our dorm window

Lawrence Kansas in January is a verrrrrrry brrrrrrrry place too :)

[sasquatch]

21. *snarf* I love the pick in your sig line

:D

[jpak]

24. In college, we used to make 50 gallons of hard cider

and when it got down to -30 below, we' d let it freeze and pour off the good stuff.

Horrible hangovers but it was "wicked good" - and free.

:)

[northofdenali]

22. Yeah! It's great - also you can throw a case on top of

the luggage rack on the car, and it's cold by the time you get home (well, especially at -20 or more, up to about -40). I also love the ice sculptures - we've got some great artists:


Now, THAT'S a cool bike!

[sasquatch]

25. Nice sculptures!!

:wow:

[Lostmessage]

27. Free skating ring when you go out

You don't even need the ring you can skate down the streets in you shoes.

[aQuArius]

28. Having somewhere to put your food when you fridge breaks

Its going to be a long weekend, living where it rarely freezes.
