Alcohol-loving ice skaters of the world unite - a lake of frozen beer has been created in Germany, purely by accident.

The truck, carrying 12 tonnes of freshly brewed beer, lost most of its load on a sharp left-hand turn at the bottom of a hill, according to Kassel police inspector Wolfgang Jungnitsch.

This could lead to a new olympic sport.  :-)

I remember from the old days of passing out with a beef in the freezer, a frozen beer is not the most stable of elements.  It will become slushy within a few minutes of putting the bottle between your thighs.  Or maybe that was just me.
