Beer is best served chilled. Drinking cold beer provides a refreshing and thirst-quenching experience. However, chilling beer through conventional methods can take a few hours. If you want to chill your beer quickly, within just 2 minutes, try the following methods.
Drink Beer with Ice
The simplest way to chill your beer is by adding ice to it. Just put a few ice cubes in your glass, pour the beer, and it will instantly become colder. This method is popular in restaurants and bars. However, a downside to this approach is that the ice will dilute the beer as it melts, which may affect its flavor.
If you prefer not to use ice, there are alternative methods to chill your beer.
Chill Beer with Ice, Water, and Salt

You can use cold water, ice, and salt to quickly chill your beer.
Prepare a bowl of cold water, add ice, and a handful of salt. Place your beer bottle or can in the salty ice water. Experiments have shown that this method rapidly lowers the temperature of the beer. After just 2 minutes in the salty ice water, the beer will go from room temperature (around 24°C) to a refreshing 5°C.
Wrap Beer Bottle/Can in a Wet Towel and Place in the Freezer
Take a few paper towels, dampen them with water, and tightly wrap them around the beer bottle. Ensure that the paper towels are slightly wrung out to prevent water from dripping into your freezer. Place the wrapped beer bottle in the freezer.
Due to the cold and dry environment of the freezer, the moisture in the wet paper towels will quickly evaporate, resulting in faster cooling of the beer compared to simply placing it in the freezer without the towels.

You can quickly chill your beer with a wet paper towel.
Note that this method should only be used for a short duration. Remove the beer from the freezer after a few minutes to avoid freezing its contents, which could cause the bottle to break or the can to deform due to volume changes.
Since metal conducts heat better than glass, opt for beer cans over bottles if you want to chill your beer faster.
Chill Your Drinking Glass
Another option is to chill your drinking glass in the freezer. This method is quite popular in Korean culture, where they serve beer in thick glass cups that have been chilled in the freezer. This way, the beer stays colder for longer.
