Cold Beer
2006-03-11, 2:16 PM #1
I always knew my uncle was relatively wealthy and a very important person in a big business.

What I -didn't- know is that he is vice president, and that his company has some sort of amazing technology that makes materials to keep you perfectly warm or perfectly cold. Somehow, he purchased this from NASA.

Well, part of this amazing new technology is the ability to make bottles of beer that will not respond to the warmth of your hands as you hold them.

I just thought this was interesting.

I'm not a big drinker..but I don't typically nurse one until it gets warm.. :p

Interesting idea, though.

Hey, when it's late in the drinking night, and your beers are going down slower and slower, I for one would be happy knowing that it wouldn't be warm beer before going for the next one.

Your beer getting warm is nature's way of telling you to stop being a pussy and chug that ****e.

Here's a link.
My uncle deals mostly with hiking/outdoors stuff that keeps you warm when it is cold, and cool when you get hot. This is the website for the material, though.

It took me a while to realise that he was vice president of a company.

A permanently cold bottle is practically the holy grail of beer drinking.

This is the kind of everyday application of technology that makes the space program totally worthwhile.

Rob needs no new technology to give always perfectly cold answers.

Especially if it's the CO2 type, not the powder type. Although the powder type would give a nice foam to the beer. At least nice looking, if not tasting.

This thread reminds me of a joke.

Quote:
Tom was so excited about his promotion to Vice President of the company he worked for and kept bragging about it to his wife for weeks on end.

Finally she couldn't take it any longer, and told him, "Listen, it means nothing, they even have a vice president of peas at the grocery store!".

"Really?" he said. Not sure if this was true or not, Tom decided to call the grocery store.

A clerk answers and Tom says "Can I please talk to the Vice President of peas?"

The clerk replies "Canned or frozen?"

I'm English, cold beer isn't that important :p

Seriously though, I'm already skeptical after looking at the thermal imaging bit on that site. The photo that's meant to show the bare feet releasing a lot of heat also shows the trouser legs and the floor to be warmer than in the previous image.

What you fail to understand is that the later it gets, the faster the beers go down.

Next he should find a way for beer to never go flat and always pour with a perfect head.

And Schming, unless it's one of those crazy British ales you're supposed to drink warm, that's just wrong :p

There's a few beers that I drink that are better room temp and a few that are awful at room temp.

Guinness - good warm and cold
Warsteiner Premium - Cold, but warm isnt too bad
Warsteiner Dunkel - Cold, but warm isnt too bad
Newcastle - only good cold
Kirin Ichiban - good warm and cold
Bass - good warm and cold
Stella Artois - good warm and cold
St. Peter's Cream Stout - um... this was pretty much disgusting either way

those are the ones I've tried both ways so far...

and Seb, I'll deal with you later! :p

BEER IS LAME.


Hard liquor is where it's AT.

Except after you're already drunk. Then beer is okay.

I find that after a certain point of intoxication, if you drunk sissy stuff you STAY that intoxicated.
