I'm a big fan of having a day off and tinkering around outside - while enjoying a cold brew or two.
I have reached the conclusion that it is "TOO COLD" when you set your beer down for ten or twenty minutes of serious tinkering only to find it a slushy mess when you decide to have another sip.
I can dress for the cold, but how do you counter that?
Have a good day man. In honor of personal freedom and the open squirrel season, I think I'll go put a hole through dinner's head.

Bourbon and/or drinking faster would work.
Pete, it is so cold even my best home brews will freeze.

Sorry to break it to you, but American beer does have a reputation for being like canoe sex: f**king close to water! What you guys need is some Tactical Nuclear Penguin Hell would freeze over before you got slush in that!

Pete, I know a fair amount about better beers, having been a home brewer for quite a while.
No argument on the "canoe sex" thing, though one has to admit that it is certainly better than no sex at all...

I like that Nanny State label. That fellow likes to stick his finger right in the Governments eye. To keep Beer from freezing in the cold, what you do is drink boiler makers. Just adjust you Bourbon or what ever you like in a ratio to meet the current temps. You may have go to 100 proof or better and 1/3 rd to 1/2 beer bourbon mix. Or you could just do what I do in the real cold Drink Icy cold Russian Vodka. Works just great, less filling and well a little pepper out of a pepper mill, makes it just nice for those Ice fishing days. Send a note to the Alpha Gore, we been able to go Ice fishing here in CT for since the New Year.

The other night I was hoping to grill a couple steaks - no dice. The propane tanks were too cold to off gas.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

The other night I was hoping to grill a couple steaks - no dice. The propane tanks were too cold to off gas. You have to learn to use real chunk charcoal. It is never too cold to grill with the real stuff and there is no comparison when it comes to flavor. It would have to be too cold for a kitchen match to light and I have yet to find it than cold.

The other night I was hoping to grill a couple steaks - no dice. The propane tanks were too cold to off gas. Same thing happened to me when I lived in Manitoba. Forty degrees below zero (-40 is same in F and C) -- I had the gas barbecue on my closed in porch (so no wind), but I finally had to give up. I don't think I could have toasted a marshmellow. I had to broil the goose breast in my my oven... John

It is too cold when the wind freezes solid and doesn't blow.

And I think I can show you a beer or 2 that you would not equate to canoe sex! I have a friend who home brews and dang he makes some good stuff.
