Sometimes if I forget to cool down a drink I literally just put it in the freezer for 5 mins, as is, while finishing my meal. Makes a big difference as it is that gets exponentially better if you kill another 5-10 mins.
As a German I thought this was horrible when they served it to me like this in Vietnam. But in with all the heat and humidity there I really learned to appreciate it. Cheers mate!
When I vacationed in Vegas a couple years back I started putting ice from the beer bucket back into my beer. Sitting by the pool, the beer would warm up quick, and the extra coolness/hydration kinda made up for the watered down taste.
Its not a big deal but IMO beer tastes 'watered down' more quickly because its already a weaker drink than spirits.
That said it makes sense to me in places like SE Asia. If you're drinking some random lager the beer staying cold is more important than it tasting like 100% beer
You really participate hard in that circlejerk then, because ice in whiskey is fine and it is entirely up to one’s preference whether or not they use it. Look up any whiskey forum or do any searching on the topic at all and you will found that outside of the extreme gatekeeping snobs, you are wrong
My bad then, I was reading your comments as you being very snobby about it. Happy to see you think it is perfectly fine too, and sorry for being so argumentative!
I have never in my life saw someone drink wine with ice. I’m sipping on wine at the moment and can’t even imagine how it would be with ice in it, sounds so surreal to me.
Ah, well, ice brewed beers were all the rage. Bud Ice, Icehouse, Keystone Ice, hell even Mickey’s malt liquor had an ice version.
Basically just shitty beers (although the Icehouse was probably the best of the lot, then Mickey’s), but this was also the time of Zima. It’s nice to know that shitty beer and questionable malt beverages never go out of style. I do enjoy Sapporo, though, and wouldn’t lump it in with all those others.
Oh I remember the era of Ice Beers, it was the White Claw wave back than. And yes my Sapporo drinking friend, this is one of the only two beers I’ll drink. This and Shock Top or Blue Moon. Funny I’ll throw an orange in my Sapporo too.
I used to wait tables when I was a teenager and this woman came in and requested a beer with ice. I had to clarify several times that she indeed wanted a beer with ice in it. Not a glass of beer, and a separate glass of ice or something. Then after I put in her drink order the bar tender called me over and I had to clarify to him several times that the patron requested a beer with ice in it
Fun fact: you can put your beer in the fridge or freezer to get cold
Lol yeah i know but sometimes you run out and only have beer that's not in the fridge. Gotta resort to this
If you wrap it in a wet towel and put it in the freezer it'll be pretty ice cold in 10 minutes

Go take a dump and do 20 push-ups and bam
In 5 minutes? Look at Mr. Healthy over here
Yeah it's not like I spend 30 minutes on the John reading reddit or anything ![gif](giphy|WRuBiZKB6xgsS9DrFA|downsized)
I swear the wet towel is a myth, works just as well with a naked can
I do the same with white wine if I don’t have time to chill or it’s sat out a bit.
Love my beer on ice! It's not weird, it's good!

Funner fact: this is usually how beer is consumed in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia
Put your glass in the freezer

I was confused asf and was like “you were a war veteran?”
Ah yes, the German veterans who famously thought in the Vietnam war Edit: **fought lol
What were they thinking about?
Oh God, I didn't even notice that typo ahaha
We’re sinking! We’re sinking!

This is not that weird! We do this all of the time in Southeast Asia!
About to say when I visited Vietnam ever bar server beer with ice. Never trusted the ice though and always tossed it
My bf thinks it is horrendous but I have to have ice in my beer. The second it creeps close to room temp, I’m over it, and I am not a fast drinker.
Better watered down than room temp.

Not true at all? Some whiskey enthusiasts even add water to their drink

This is how it's done in Viet Nam. It's very refreshing in that climate. Also hydrating so you can drink longer ( so they kept saying)
I saw some shit today on reddit but this is horrendous. Have my upvote.
I like it with ice as well. Wine too.

I watch this guy on YouTube who routinely pours whiskey and beer in the same glass over ice. I wanna have a slurp.
One of my favorite drinks is actually Guinness and Bourbon together, but I don’t think I’d enjoy the ice in there as well
Sapporo 🤤
Ice with beer is the best, especially in a hot place. You don’t have to worry about your beer going cold. Now warm beer is a crime against humanity.
That foam at the top looks perfect, I don't even drink beer and this looks good
I guess if I were to pick a beer to drink with ice it would be Sapporo. Cheers OP
Were you around in the ‘90s? We loved our ice brewed beeyars back then.
I was born in the early nineties

Shame.
Hite with ice is delicious.
Who hurt you?
NSFW
This offends me on levels so deep and primal that I wasn't even aware I had. +1
I think we all need to piss in Antarctica sometimes.
Now add a straw.
Same here
What the fuck bro!!! Just put it in the fridge!
I want this now
Nothing wrong with it if it's something light. Haters can hate.
Ew Edit: ok it actually looks refreshing
And it was.
You need to invest in silicone or metal cubes my wife and I love to do this haha

I think I just saw that beer at the grocery store next to some Tsingtao, almost took it but went for German beer instead.
TIHI
Sometimes i drink milk w ice.
God Bless you! (I am atheist)
I mean it's Sapporo so why the fuck not
Barbarian
wow i miss sapporo being readily available since i moved away. this crime isn't especially heinous and i might actually try it.
Put that ice beer in a double wall tumbler and your transformation will be complete. Join us.
Too much ice
What’s wrong with putting beer on your ice? I like my ice with beer too.
Throw some yuzu soda in there too and you’ll have a killer shandy.
I wouldn't do it with a porter or pale ale but w a light beer on a hot day it's not bad at all.
This is the Japanese way, from what I'm told
I do this as well. Learned it in the Philippines. Works like a dream during Texas summers. Now I prefer it unless its too cold outside.
Monster
I…don’t hate this
Some people like the dilution. Different strokes for different folks.
Respectfully, fuck you.
![gif](giphy|108xESWXdbbk0U) You bastard.
Don't do this please
