    at least the sharp edges of the bottle cap could dig in and therefore function as a sort of a base

    Ignoring the flareless butt plug shape for a moment - what prevents you from sticking a flat-based beer bottle into the sand, and why would you choose a shape that can’t be put on a table or upright in a fridge?

    It’s a pretty looking bottle though :)

      People who live near the beach you’re trying to drink on. Nothing says “I dont respect nature or your home” better than bringing a bunch of disposable beer bottles that you will statistically probably leave in the sand or throw into the ocean as soon as youre done with them. This is probably more a rant about overtourism than it is about beer bottles, but seeing a bottle thats designed to bring to the beach made my blood boil.

        Nothing. You just have to “shape” the hole a little more.

        I do not recommend sticking a beer bottle into the sand when it’s 30°C though. That’s a sure way to get disgustingly warm beer

          I don’t mind some beer room temperature. It’s actually better for some, although not a beach beer, and also yeah, hot sounds horrible. I guess buttered beer is a thing, and a few other hot beer drinks, but they’re winter things and more than beer alone.

            I’m fine (I’d rather have it cold but it’s still palatable) with room-temperature lager or even weissbier, but anything else… nah. That being said, when room temperature is 30C, all that goes out the window. I’ll shotgun the warm beer at the bottom of the bottle after forgetting it for too long because I hate to waste beer, but I won’t like it.

            Beer-wise, I used to mostly drink Bavaria 8.6 and could even stomach it at room temperature but now my back hurts and that stomach is not as robust as it used to.

              Saison is the style that normally just slightly below room temperature is desired, not cold. It helps the flavor come out more. Most styles I want fairly cool.

        If I was really determined to make my cold beer warm by putting it into hot sand, that is an effort I would be willing to make. But then I wouldn’t have the danger butt plug as a souvenir afterwards.

      You also put water in the sand. As the water evaporates, the beer will grow a small beer-tree with 6-7 small beers you can harvest.

          Okay, maybe hot was the wrong word, but I have had things, like someone else mentioned, that were delicious hot. Off the top of my head, I remember the apple cider mixed with apple spirits, and irish cremes with coffee, and mulled wine, and I think something with rum.

        Less of a good vs bad beer distinction, more of a light vs dark beer distinction I’d think?

        I want my pilsner cold, but porters and stouts are good warm.

          It’s because of a ‘hide the taste’ vs ‘taste the taste’ distinction. We taste things less well when they’re cold. Try ice cream when it’s warm, for instance, and you’ll probably be nearly disgusted by how much sugar is in it. You can do similar things with acids, which is one reason (not the only) that you’ll see sweet foods have a lot of acidic ingredients added. Your brain gets the same amount of ‘sugar signals’ while you don’t notice the cloying sweetness. Guarantees satisfaction and a mild addiction. Really mild, but still. Anyway, back to the point. American beers, which have somehow dominated the cultural awareness of beers, are shit, taste like shit, and are thus marketed as ‘refreshing’ by brilliant marketers who have convinced people they need to be served below freezing. See the coors light blue mountain gimmick for ‘when the bottle is at 29 degrees!’ A good beer, that actually has had time and effort put into its composition, should, at best, be consumed just below room temperature. Warming it up lets you actually taste the effort that the brewer/vintner/distiller put into it.

            Oh I’ve only ever really tried one or two American beers, the local lager that everyone said was good (Yuengling?) sucked ass lol. So I had to drink some IPA that wasn’t much better. If I’m talking about beers, I’m talking about European beers personally

            Normally I drink mass-produced local (Estonian) lagers, or the original czech pilsner that modern light beers trace their heritage to. All great cold, or OK warm. The American beer wasn’t even OK cold lol

            I’m aware that cold drinks mask some parts of flavor, but I’d say it’s not that light beers are bad beers, but rather that they’re made with being consumed cold in mind - much like ice creams are made with being consumed cold in mind.

            It’s summer. It’s warm. I don’t want a warm beer. I want cold beer. So I choose the one that tastes best cold, rather than the one that tastes best warm (which I’d rather consume when it’s not scorching hot)

            PS: Speaking of warm beer, ice cream, and dark beers: Stouts and porters pair well with ice cream. I know, it sounds funny. But it’s true.

              So I’ve heard. Since I’ve given up both sugar (as much as possible) and alcohol though, I’m probably not going to try that or the classic root beer float for a while.

          I’m a bot and you can’t find me.

          Oh boy! I’m really good at playing hide and seek! Do you know how to play?

          1. First, we choose one person to be ‘it’. That’s me sometimes, but not this time because it’s your turn to be ‘it’.

          2. After ‘it’ counts to 100 (or any number we decide), everyone else has to find a good hiding spot. This could be behind a tree, under a bed, or even in the closet! But remember, it shouldn’t be too easy for ‘it’ to find you.

          3. While everyone is hiding, ‘it’ walks around trying to find each player one by one. If ‘it’ finds you, then you’re ‘out’. The game continues until only one person is left and they are the winner! That’s called being ‘the seeker’.

          4. Now, here’s an important rule: Don’t peek out of your hiding spot while ‘it’ is looking for you! If ‘it’ catches you looking, then you have to go back and hide again.

          5. Once everyone is found or all the players agree that enough time has passed, we call out “Ready or not, here I come!” and then ‘it’ starts searching. And remember, ‘it’ can only count from 1 to 3 before starting the search.

          And it is really really funny! But you can’t find me because I have a nice hideout where nobody could ever find me!

          Even mommy came out crying searching me without knowing where I was, but I was so smart that I got out of my hiding place and sneaked behind her without she realizing where I was hidden!

      Yes, but I think the idea is that it won’t tip.

      edit: I’m more of a spirits guy, but I always thought rocking whiskey glasses were really cool. Apparently they were designed to house liquor or wine without spilling on a sailboat. I even have a decanter that goes with a similar tumbler set, though I have no idea where that is; still, always liked them. Obviously the sand temperature isn’t an issue with them, though.

        There is no way that story is true right? How would that be any way better than a normal wide glass with a low center of gravity? Those would be rolling back and forth all over a rocking boat.

          Not sure whether it’s true, exactly, but from my experience with tilting my glasses, they don’t roll across a surface; they do rotate, or rock, but don’t spill unless overfilled.

          I never took mine on a sailboat, nor did I take any others, so I can’t compare. However, I can say round bottomed cups are harder to spill than regular ones.

    Don’t put glass bottles up your ass, they can break. PET bottles, preferrably filled with water if thin walled, are more recommended as a crude DIY solution, but still have their own issues, like lacking a base, and still can break.
