Cold Beer is Here

Mmmmmmm Cold BeerA New Zealand college student has created what can only be described as the most important beverage-related invention ever.

Tired of lugging an ice chest to the beach with his mates, 22-year old student Kent Hodgson, created a portable device that cools beer in a matter of moments.

The Huski utilizes a pen-sized plastic cooling cell that is placed in a dock. The dock is filled with pressurized liquid CO2, which expands to create dry ice in the cooling cell. The cell is then dropped into a beer bottle and, voila, you have yourself a frosty beverage!

Confused? Don't worry -- all that matters is that your beer is cold. He plans on selling the device for $50.
