Why can Beer be Stored at a Lower Temperature in a Keg than a Bottle?
The amount of energy required to freeze a bottle of beer is far less than that of a keg. A keg contains far more liquid than a small bottle so is takes more effect to freeze more liquid. This is why keg owners can get away with setting their kegerators to lower settings like 24° F (-4° C).

I don't know that I entirely buy that you can store kegged beer in a 24F fridge. While this is true, that a keg will take a lot more energy to freeze than a can or bottle, due to volume (and due to the specific heat of a water-based beverage), any fridge that can maintain 24F over a long period of time would freeze a keg. Not to mention that it can also freeze the beer in your draft lines between the keg and the tap. And this is critical, because frozen draft lines mean that even if the keg isn't frozen, you can't get the beer out into your glass!

ease your troubled mind - pretty sure most of us brought the Beer in from the garage.I know it would cause you great distress if any of the little guys started exploding - Lagers though they may be. Freakin' got down to -3 last nite sunny and cheerful 11 deg out now though,no cloudy walking Zombie casualties. Thought I heard the weather wench state we were 9 deg below normal for January this month and we look to finish that way. ❄️ 🥶

Gonna be 72 and sunny in the golf course today.

With a high wind advisory, so I'm already blaming the wind for my score.

gets a helluva lot colder in my garage than 24 degrees

my 5% swill doesn't freeze until it gets much colder

if it going to get cold I move it from the floor to a bench

if its going to get really cold I will bring it inside

but, these are cans.  They can be thawed if they get slushy

can't take stoopid chances with bottles

Even cans freezing/thawing breaks down carbonation,so even though you drink Bud - it could get/taste worse.hard to imagine i know

one benefit to drinking Bud.

It seems to withstand temp changes better than any other beer

Forget about ice-storing beer, ice-brewing is where it's at.

Sure was today. But I made two birdies on par 5s with massive tailwinds turning them into driver/wedge holes...

when the wind is blowing over 20 mph and the course is mostly empty.. I've always wanted to just play the down wind holes twice to total 18

When I spent a summer in WY,  I used to play a high desert course every day after work, and while I think it rained once all summer, you could get your share of wind.   Mile high altitude + dry thin rough = Driver wedge par 5s.  Shortest 6800 course I've ever played.   The roll you would get off the fairway was incredible.
