Why does beer freeze AFTER take it out of the freezer?

Question

Sometimes I want a cold bottle of beer fast! So I put it in the freezer instead of the refrigerator. It takes about 30 mins to make a beer cold but sometimes i forget about it. Several times I've left the beer in the freezer for an hour or more. The beer is very cold but not frozen solid yet. I get it out of the freezer and its still all liquid. I can see the bubbles moving around when I move the bottle. I then leave it on the table. However when I return a few minutes later i find the beer is frozen solid!!! The beer can't have got any colder can it? Surely it can only get warmer outside of the freezer? I can't figure out why this happens. The only thing I can think of is maybe its something to do with the condensation that forms on the cold bottle after I remove it from the freezer. Can anyone answer this for me?

Answer 1

the change back to room temp. with the alcohol in the mix is what causes it. I used to own a bar and I would keep the coolers at about 28 degrees the beer wouldnt be froze till you took it out and opened it then it would freeze right in front of the customer,,,,,, they just loved it ,,,,, they knew they were getting the coldest beer in town.!!!!!!

Answer 2

You are exactly right. for condensation to form, water has to bedrawn out of the air by cold. the air actually sucks the heat out of the bottle trying to evaporate the water. Just like you get a chill after you get out of the shower.

Answer 3

Because you put in the freezer, stupid.
