There are a lot of people out there who like beer, after all, it’s the world’s oldest and most popular alcoholic beverage. Jessica can particularly attest to that fact after her visit to Brooklyn Brewery. I would wager that most beer drinkers do not like their beer watered down; so what can you do on a piping hot day like yesterday to keep your beer chilled, but not water it down with ice? There are many crazy ways, but here’s something simple and effective.
Angie, our brilliant host, demonstrated a clever technique to keep your beer literally on ice, while drinking it. Simply put an inch or two of crushed ice in a one cup then another cup over that to hold your beer. The result is illustrated to the right.
Next time you’re drinking your frosty ale, think of Angie– and her trick (I couldn’t find anyone else online talking about this method).

It’s been brought to my attention that my line about “frosty ale” is a sensitive issue in the beer drinking world. I should’ve said “frosty lager” to avoid any contention. Ales vs. Lagers is the main categorization of beer, and there is a lot of detail in determining the proper drinking temperature for either.
Agree with lon, when I heard “frosty ale” I cringed.
