Can beer explode when left in the freezer?


Recommended Posts

ive had this happen to me, it does not explode, but it does create a fricken mess. if you wanna waste some beer and see what happens, take a bottle of beer and put it in a tupperware so it doesnt make an insane mess, then just leave that in the freezer over night. make sure you leave the top on the beer bottle and dont leave the top on the tupperware. i had a picture of what happens but i think i lost it. if i find it, ill post it here.

I've never seen a beer bottle explode. A can of beer in the freezer, that's different, I have seen those explode before. Also, a tip of advice, if you do put a bottle in the freezer and it freezes and you do want to drink it, DO NOT put it in the sink and start running hot water on it. :no: Bad experience.

Ha ha, we drink 'beer' warm, not 'larger'. Larger is much nicer cold :p

It depends on your definition of 'beer', really. For me: ale/bitter etc = beer, not larger.

:)

Maybe I picked this up from the my German background, but isn't it lager, not larger?

I've had it happen before. Not necessarily explode, but the tops popped off the bottle. And usually with beercans, i've seen them bloat if frozen, and rarely break the top. So i think it really relies not on the beer, but the quality of the seal: how tight the cap is sealed on, or how well the perforation is done. It does happen though, plain and simple.

Yeah. Be careful what you put in the freezer. As a young boy, I remember mum putting in some softdrinks in glasses in the top freezer of the fridge. After we came back home from somewhere else, the bottles exploded (cracked) and there were softdrink all over the freezer floor, being frozen to the frost. That was a lesson for my mum and me not to place glasses of softdrinks or beer into the freezer. That's a lesson for you too. lol :D

Ok well, i decided to do my own experiment.

I don't drink beer ,but Im an avid Cola drinker.

So last nyt, I put 2 cans of Cola into my frezzer. I have my own fridge in my room. Its a small one. Anyway, I put one in and with the other one, I shook it up before I put it in with the other. (Im still young, so lets experiment more)..lol

Then I went to sleep..Ok so when i Woke up nothing happened. In the afternoon, still nothing. So i opened the freezer and checked to see if anything happened. Still nothing..

So I took them out and put em on my desk, 2 mins later BOOM !. I ran into my room, and one of the cans blew up. Cola everywhere. I was laughing, my face off them BOOM ! the second can blew. I screamed like a girl..lol..Anyways, in Conclusion, there is no point to my thread, but lots of Cola in my room.

Have a nice Day.

    • If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
    • Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"  
    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
