The War on Beer (ZOT!!! Try Our Delicious Troll in Beer Batter)

[Its a Culture War]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A state senator wants to force Missouri stores to sell warm beer. Under a bill by Sen. Bill Alter, grocery and convenience stores would risk losing their liquor licenses if they sold beer colder than 60 degrees. The intent is to cut down on drunken driving by making it less tempting to pop open a beer after leaving the store.

"The only reason why beer would need to be cold is so that it can be consumed right away," Alter, who has been a police offer for more than 20 years, said Thursday.

How about a five day waiting period after you have purchased it before you can actually remove it from the store? It'll give you a chance to think about whether you really want to..... ahhh, nevermind.

Better than a five day waiting period for the bathroom AFTER you've bought it!

Actually beer is intended to be drank warm. It is a peculiarity of Americans to drink their beers ice-cold. In Britain, for example, beer is drunk at room temperature.

At any rate, a little salt and ice in a cooler will make those warm beers ice-cold by the time you leave the parking lot!

I'll take my watery stuff any old day over foamy soup.

Solution: Dry ice in an instant(almost instant) cooler.. O.K it would take 2-5 minutes.. then into an icebox..

[Old Professer]

You should be able to bring it down to about 23 degrees F before the crystals form.

Didn't the mythbusters determine the fastest way to chill a six pack was with a CO2 fire extingusher? It only took a matter of seconds if I remember correct.

This is nothing that a cooler packed with ice won't take care of.I can buy a case of warm beer and have it ice cold within fifteen minutes.

They'll get my beer when they pry it from my cold drunk hands.

Look at you, you post second and then the thread becomes yours

I guess these guys never heard of "skunked" beer

When we went to the national wrestling tournament last year the first place we saw that sold liquor was a true value. I'm not in favor of warm beer, but maybe they should rethink selling alcohol and machinery in the same place.

Leisy's? That famous Cleveland beer?

I agree that some get carried away with anti alcohol legislation but then again they've seen the resulting bloodshed and misery of drinking and driving. Until people become more responsible about drinking/flying/operating any machine, etc - beer or ice wine or anything - they should not be driving. Period.
