I'm throwing a pity party tonight with free beer because it's warmer in Olso, Norway (27F) than in Akron, OH (4F). Everyone's invited!! ;)

Oops - beer's frozen. Cancel the party. :-?

Well that's good news, I guess. I thought you were going to say you had to cancel or postpone your hike!

Every party has a pooper and that's why we invited Boston! :p

Factor in the windchill and it's -20F where I live. Exposed skin will freeze in 10 minutes. :eek:

Not a chance!! I want it so bad I eat (testing trail food), sleep, walk (prep hikes) and talk (my poor, poor friends must be so bored of my planning talk!) the AT constantly!

By the way Sly, thanks again for organizing SoRuck. I had a great time!

Laughing so hard about the party being canceled due to frozen beer...this has become a fact of life for me. Due to my work hours, and that stores close at 11 around here , I have to buy my beer before I'm done work. And the temp has been hovering around, like, no degrees. Which means my beer sits in the car for three hours before I get it home and, yes, is frozen by the time I get there....but no way is that an excuse to cancel a party!

Pokey2006,
Put the beer in a cooler in your car, it will stop the freezing!!!
How sad is it that I know this?

if you freeze the beer i've heard the alcohol goes to the top but doesn't freeze so you can just drink the alcohol, like a shot. can anyone verify this?
Boston,
If the beer freezes it can feel normal in the closed can. As soon as the lid is popped, it will turn to slush and begin to over flow out of the can as a mixture of slush and alcohol. I don't know why this happens but it is not my favorite way to drink beer.:confused:

Yes and no. Thanks to something called hydrogen bonding (that's the only chemistry I'll throw at you) You can never completely seperate the alcohol from the water in the beer. At leat not in a freezer you'd have at home!:D
What you get is more alcoholic, but not enough to justify wasting a perfectly good beer.

And the taste gets completely lost. I don't know why it happens either but it's a shame to waste a perfectly yummy beer this way. Definitely alcohol abuse.
