The wet towel doesn't do much in my experience. You can just stick it in the freezer without the towel and it will still be cold in 20-30 minutes. Burying it under some bags of frozen food does seem to help though.

 

I use wet paper towels- freeze faster than towels, it seems. 15 min you are good to go.

 

Liquid nitrogen. Quickly rotate beer around in the liquid for roughly 10-15 seconds and you have yourself a nice, cold brew! (this really isn't sarcasm)

 

Wet paper towels every time. But you cannot forgot to pull out.

 

Liquid nitrogen guy, I like the way you think, but.....a more practical solution is as follows;

1. Put the beer cans in the bottom of your dorm room trash can.
2. Dump a bag of ice over it.
3. Pour water over it.
4. Wait about 15 minutes.
5. ENJOY!

 

Just the freezer, nix the wet towels. Set the timer on the microwave for 20 minutes.

 

^^^Use the wet paper towel rather than the much thicker towel. Gets good and cold in no time.

Explains why salt + ice = best. Science

 

Acquire the taste for room temperature beer and eliminate the problem altogether.
30 minutes in the freezer, and not forgetting, if you must have a cold one.

 

Picked up easily at the local corner store too! Absolute zero is a beautiful thing when you can get it! (And no disrespect intended. )

 

Huh....and all this time I've just simply put the bottle in the freezer for 20 minutes....

 

The Mythbusters have a really cool show about this very question! I believe their favorite way was put them in a styrofoam cooler, grab your fire extinguisher, and spray the entire contents of the cooler. Doesn't take long after that....

 

I was coming in to say this so well done.

 

First time I saw this. I was at Marianos which is a newer upscale grocery store by me. And you could put you beer in this like barrel thing and there is a heat exchanger that will chill your beer in a couple minutes. I was in awe.
