They tested this on Mythbusters a few years ago and this method was what they determined to be the fastest way to get the beer coldest. I'm just not sure if they used salt or fresh water. They also used the fire extinguisher method and just putting the beer in a freezer, but they didn't work as well.

They did three tests side by side.
1.) cans of beer on just ice.
2.) cans of beer in ice and water (fresh)
3.) cans of beer in salted fresh water with ice.
The verdicty was the salt water with ice, because the salt lowers the waters freezing point to below 32 F. (somewhere around 26F.)

I remember them putting beer in a freezer and also using the fire extinguisher. Is it possible they did 2 different episodes on this?

We put em in the lab across the street where they have coolers full of dry ice . Cold beer instantly .
