However, beer does make a great fire extinguisher.  Used to carry a six pack
in the old van just in case of emergencies.

Well, alcohol was the "anti-freeze" of choice before glycol solutions came
along.

I fear beer would be a tad corrosive, owing to it's sugar content.

I think beer is best left as a biological unit coolant.

  I wonder if a car radiator would see a performance difference like
  that seen in the cooling capacity of beer and a computer CPU (at rest
  and under load).

  I would think that the you would certainly need to make sure to get
  the foam out of the beer or at least let it go flat before pouring
  into the radiator.

  Gunsness did not cool as well as Coors which in turn did not do as
  well as the German beer (some unpronounceable brand) they used but
  neither of them cooled as well as Molson.

  Interesting.  Anyone going to try it in their car?
