“Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this… A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”
-Cliff Clavin, of Cheers

Did some research today and have discovered that temperature does not ruin beer. You can take cold beer, store it at room temperature, chill it back again and then drink it and it will be fine. What does destroy (skunk) beer is SUNLIGHT. So basically, if you have a metal keg, you’re good to go regardless; but sometimes buying beer at say a drive through will yield skunked beer. Also this verifies my previous concern that green-bottled beer is more likely to have gone bad than brown-bottled beer (as the green glass lets more sunlight in.)

So no worries about keeping beer cold once you have chilled it, but keep it out of the sunlight!
