Now thew can is SOLID FROZEN PIECE OF ICE. Is it safe to drink it once it unthaws? How do I unthaw it - by putting it in room temperatutre or puting it in the refregirator's normal food section (not freezer)?</p> I put my beer into a freezer for 5 minutes and… forgot it!

It is rather mind boggeling when your taking a swig and the damn thing freezes.</p> I have recently done this and seeing the effects myself.

Wondering if my frozen beer that is still intact is ok to drink? Maybe a new bar sensation, beersicles.</p><p>,\.|./// ...(@@) ooO<em>(</em>)_Ooo More pearls of wisdom available at Fredville -</p> I dunno, I just went out to the fridge in the garage to take a real cold beer out & found a couple of cases of frozen beer many of which had busted along with cokes, red bull and a bunch of other pleasing beverages that no longer pleased.

Such that when the bottle is opened and the pressure normalized, the beer, which had fallen to a below-freezing temperature, shift instantly?</p> Isn’t it a case of the freeze point being lowered by the pressure buildup in the bottle?

I might try this out this evening while watching State of Origin. We don’t have any Corona handy but will substitute a Hahn Lite.
