Warm To Icy Beer in Seconds

A young New Zealand inventor has found a solution to the unpalatable problem of a can of warm beer – a device that turns a tepid beverage into a cold drink within seconds.

And the portable gadget, which has a cooling capacity almost four times that of regular ice with the advantage that it doesn’t water down your drink, could spell the end of lugging a heavy chilly bin to the beach.

Mr Hodgson calls his invention Huski. One canister is able to fill thirty 330 ml bottles.

He explained the rapid cooling beverage process he mastered as being "extremely simple".

"You have plastic cooling cells which are pressed down into the dock which houses the liquid carbon dioxide. The liquid CO2 expands and is pressurised into dry ice in the base of the cooling cells … in a moment.

"You then pop it into your drink and then proceed from there as you normally would."
