So. I'm on the road this week on business, and I stop and get myself a six pack of bottled local brewskies to enjoy in the comfort of my magnificently appointed Hampton Inn hotel room. I get back to the hotel, place the bottles in the fridge, and I go out for a bite to eat. Upon returning to my room, I open one of the tasty brews and pour it into my imported plastic hotel room cups. The tasty suds flow into the cup as a cold refreshing liquid, but within seconds congeal into the consistency of a 7-11 Slurpee with icy foam. Now, this is deliscious in it's own right, but it got me wondering why the brew stayed completely liquid while in an unopened bottle, but changed to a semi-frozen state once dispensed. Does anyone know the reason behind this?
(I don't mean to sound rude in excluding our Brit brothers and sisters, but it seems like it would be hard for them to conceptualize 'cold' and 'beer' together as all the fridges in the UK are aledgedley made by Lucas... )
As difficult as it is for my American cousins to conceptualize 'beer' and 'Alcohol content' together Give me my room temperature 6% real ale any day.
