Keeping beer cold is very important!

Back in the '80s, when men were men and Freon was almost free, I had a
friend who was a refrigeration tech. When I'd visit him in his garage
and we wanted cold beer, he'd simply open a 20lb tank of R12 on an open
case of beer and basically flood the box with liquid Freon, which of
promptly evaporated and practically flash froze the beer. There is some
skill involved in allowing just the right amount of freon to flow....

Now with all this green-house gas stuff, well,, it's a thing of the past...

Cheers
