    Excellent question. Though, now that I look at the $845 price, I think I could continue to get by with rolling my room temp beers in the ice tray for a minute or two like I've always done. $845 buys a LOT of beer. :)

    Mythbusters did an episode on chilling beer. The 'myth' was that Vietnam soldiers would chill beer through evaporative cooling by burying a sixer in the sand and pouring a quart of gas over it and lighting it. Didn't work.

    The tried a lot of esoteric options, including pouring warm beer through refrigerated coils and plunging a liquid-nitrogen-cooled rod into a stein (lots of foam, not enough cooling), and found the best results were found with a CO2 fire extinguisher, or with an ice-water-salt mixture, which in five minutes cooled a six-pack down to 34F (without the salt, it only got down to about 40 in five minutes, IIRC).
