Party prep can be stressful. With a million things to do before guests arrive, it’s not uncommon to forget a thing or two... like chilling the beer. And nothing is worse than lukewarm beer.

That’s where a Newair Beer Froster comes in.

A beer froster cools your beer to a frosty 23°F, making it the coldest fridge on the market. This chilly temperature freezes the condensation on your beer bottles and cans, creating the frosty finish you’ve come to love when drinking a cold beer.

In this post, we’ll explain how beer frosters work, why some beer drinkers swear by them, and how they can help you achieve perfect beer storage for all your entertaining needs. We’ll also cover the proper storage temperatures for beer and other beverages, as well as key features to consider when choosing the right beer froster and beverage fridge for your home.

What Does a Beer Froster Do?

Imagine this: You’ve just returned from running errands, and your friends are coming over to watch the big game in 90 minutes. You’ve got all your snacks ready, but the beer you just bought is still at room temperature. How are you going to get it cold enough in such a short time?

You could put it in your regular fridge, but at around 40°F, it won’t be cold enough in time. Even worse, it will never dip below that temperature, which for many beer lovers is just not cold enough.

What about the freezer? While it’s colder, it’s not the ideal choice. Most freezers run at around zero degrees Fahrenheit, which can freeze your beer too quickly. That could lead to frozen beer or even burst cans and bottles, leaving you with a mess and no beer. Plus, with limited space, you won’t be able to chill enough for everyone.

A beer froster is a type of beverage fridge designed to chill your beer to a frosty 23°F in less than an hour. Unlike your regular fridge or freezer, it delivers that perfect icy cold temperature without the risk of freezing your drinks. For example, this 125-can freestanding beer froster features a party mode that keeps your beer at a consistent 23 to 25°F for up to six hours, ensuring every guest enjoys their beer at the ideal frosted temperature.

Beer and Beverage Storage 101

What's nice about Newair’s beer froster is that it not only chills your beer to the perfect temperature but also offers other settings for different beverages:

• Chilly (35-45°F): For hard seltzer, iced coffee, and soda.
• Cold (45-50°F): For IPAs, American pale ales, porters, stouts, and medium-bodied lagers.
• Cool (50-55°F): For Belgian ales, sour ales, and white wine.
• Warm (55-65°F): For imperial stouts, scotch, and red wine.

While you may often want your beer as frosty as possible, there are times when a slightly warmer temperature is preferable. For instance, some beers are best served at a warmer temperature. If you've ever had a beer in Britain or Ireland, you might have noticed it's not as cold as a typical American beer.

This is because the flavor of some beers — and other beverages like wine and whiskey — is enhanced by being served at a slightly warmer temperature. Darker beers, for example, are best enjoyed at temperatures around 20 to 25 degrees warmer than lighter beers.

Similarly, different types of wine are served at varying temperatures to bring out their best flavors. White wines are typically served cooler, while reds are served a bit warmer.

It’s worth noting that the warmest temperature setting on beverage fridges for beer and wine is usually around 60 to 65°F. This is also the ideal temperature for long-term storage of many alcoholic beverages. Cooler temperatures help preserve the flavor and appearance of beverages, preventing damage that can occur from overheating.

Beverage Fridge Features for Beer Lovers

Whether you're opting for a beer froster or a standard beverage fridge, there are several features to consider to ensure you choose the right appliance for your needs.

• Built-in or Freestanding Models: Built-in models are designed to be permanently installed, typically in a kitchen or bar area. Freestanding models offer more flexibility and can be placed almost anywhere, making them a great option for renters or RV owners.
• Size Options: The size of your beverage fridge should depend on how much you need to store at once. If you're frequently entertaining, a larger capacity is ideal to accommodate more cans or bottles. Our smallest model holds 58 cans, while our largest can hold up to 224 cans.
• Door Features: Locks can keep kids and pets out, while UV-resistant glass protects your drinks from sun damage. Mirrored and fingerprint-resistant doors not only enhance the look of the fridge but also help maintain its appearance.
• Adjustable Racks: Adjustable racks allow for versatile storage, fitting different sizes of bottles and cans. This feature also makes it easier to store snacks or items like juice boxes for kids.
• Dual Temperature Zones: Dual-zone fridges have two separate temperature compartments, allowing you to store beverages at one temperature while keeping others at a serving-ready temperature. This is perfect for combining beer and wine in one fridge.
• Exterior Finish Options: Whether you go for a built-in or freestanding model, you'll want the fridge to complement your kitchen or home decor. Black and stainless steel finishes are the most popular choices for matching with appliances.
• Quiet, Energy-Efficient Operation: Modern beverage fridges are designed to run quieter than conventional fridges, often using smaller compressors or thermoelectric cooling systems. They are also more energy-efficient, consuming less power while keeping your drinks cold.
