Frozen Chimay :(

[Thunderlips]

I bought a bottle of this the other day when I was swapping over my gas bottle at Grain & Grape. Also picked up a bottle of Bishops Finger. I've never tried either of them before. G&G have a lot of their imported beer just sitting on a shelf. Anyway, while filtering and kegging one of my brews I stuck them in the freezer to cool them down and forgot about them.
I suppose they are ruined now and have lost all carbonation?
Damn shame, I was really looking forward to that Chimay blue.

As long as the bottles haven't cracked they'll be fine. Just warm them to the right temps.

They haven't cracked.
That's great to hear, thanks Warren.

Oooh, that Bishops Finger is a nice one. Don't have it on a hot day though!

Why? :blink:

I used to love sinking a pint of bitter on a warm day.

At a guess Kook, I'd say it's very strong.

yea i pulled a frozen home brew out of the freezer the other day and sat in the sink to thaw out.
then put back in the fridge and 2 days later it still tasted great <_<

It's 5.4% in the bottle, 5% on cask. Not exactly going to blow you away, but it isn't a session bitter either.

Strong enough for this little black duck !

I found it a bit too big a beer for a hot day. It must remind me of sitting with a bishops finger in a warm pub on a cold day....
Just me though - I prefer a wheat or pilsner on a hot day...
