Why does a beer freeze after you remove it from the freezer?
I put a beer in the freezer, when I removed it from te freezer it was still liquified, upon the beer hitting the warm air, it will begin to take solid form, why is this?
Answers:
the pressure in the can lowers the temperature that beer will freeze at. This happens with soda too, but alcohol lowers the freezing temp more. So when you open the beer and the pressure is lowered ice will form because the freezing temperature is now higher.
the alcohol part doesn't freeze. it separates out.
dont know ..... not much of beer drinker
Because the carbon dioxide in the can has a lower freezing temperature than the liquid. Since the can is sealed, the carbon dioxide keeps the freezing temp lower. The carbon dioxide gives the drink it's bubbles.
Once the can/bottle is opened, the carbon dioxide is released into the air and the remaining liquid quickly reaches it's natural freezing point and begins to freeze.

The higher the pressure is the lower the freezing point will be. When you open a bottle from a freezer the pressure lowers and the temperature at which it will freeze rises. So a very cold beer from the freezer may be liquid until you open it, at which point you inadvertently lower the pressure and raise the temperature at which it will freeze. If the resultant temperature at which it will freeze is above the temperature of the beer then the beer freezes as you open it.
Well while it was in the freezer the little alcohol it has tried to keep it liquid but once it starts to warms up the process stops. Works that way with water to if you take it out while it is still moving in bottle. Actually what I think is that it is frozen on the sides of bottle but we just don't notice it until the solid and liquid became two separate temperatures.
