A cool trick to quick-cool the beer on the 4th of July ( any day for that
matter) is to sacrifice one co2 extinguisher by putting the beer down the
extinguisher horn and discharging. Gets the job done. Of course you have to
recharge the co2 cylinder again, be we are talking dealing with serious
emergency thirst here in this case.
