Special unfreezable beer

Brewers in Southampton have invented a special beer that can withstand the coldest place on Earth - the South Pole.
Unlike normal ales, the drink is designed to retain its flavour after being frozen in temperatures of minus 89 degrees celsius.
As many as 20 pints are due to be shipped 10,000 miles to the Southernmost continent this week for engineers and scientists working there.
The team from the British Antarctic Survey and the National Oceanography Centre, based in Southampton, will be conducting research at Subglacial Lake Ellsworth for three months.



ONLY 20 Pints ??? That won't last very long.

I'll buy it. I'm forever sticking a can (or worse, a bottle) in the freezer to chill it down and forgetting about it.

Didn't Austria come up with an unfreezable wine a few years ago?

It's only intended as a Christmas 'one off'.

It's a gimmick and a stunt, do we imagine they'll be outside drinking the beer? Hardly.
