If you can't tell the beer is cold unless the label turns blue?



Just askin'.

Is that a real thing (i.e., does the label really turn blue when the beer is cold), or is that just so much marketing hyperbole?

The label atcually turns blue.

The label actually turns blue.

Okay.

I thought it might be another one of those gimmicks, like "battery tester"s on packages of batteries that ostensibly show if a battery's good or not, but in reality the "battery tester"'s more useless than a primitive picking his nose at a bonfire on Skins's island.

It's more of a marketing thing than anything else.  The beer isn't all that cold when the label starts to turn.  At least not the last time I bought any with that label on it.
