PICTURE the scene; it is a hot summer's morning. You are just about to set out on a day-trip with your friends. It was arranged a long time ago. The planning has been meticulous. Nothing has been left to chance.
Or so you thought? Suddenly, your priorities are being questioned. Yes, the picnic basket is full, the fruit bowl is there, the cheese and bacon sandwiches have been made, and even the mobile stools and table are ready for the trip.
And, of course, the beer is ready.
But wait a minute. How do you keep the beer cool? Your friends are distinctly unimpressed. Sure, you can have a good lunch. But what good is that when they cannot enjoy a cool beer to wash it all down.
Hot beer, especially in a sticky Hongkong summer, is simply not on. For seasoned drinkers, keeping the beer cool is the most important aspect of the art of beer drinking.
So, if you want to be the socially acceptable day tripper this summer, keep these handy beer-cooling tips in mind.
