In case the impression may have occurred that the Wrecking Crew has been out in those polaresque areas just for the ultimate fun - wrong. It was after all a scientific mission, that made us travel to the boundaries of human civilisation. A group of Nobel prize-worthy specialists conceived this plan that now found it’s final fruition: the Wrecking Crew discovered and located for the first time ever the melting point of beer on the North American continent. Here’s how they did it: Up in Tuktoyaktuk, some beers of different brands were bought and left to freeze inside a large metal case…

…and then transported southbound until the beer was going to melt. Our beer-melting-indicator was a highly precise thermometer that was hidden somewhere on the truck. Yes, somewhere – to prevent nonscientific influence. That thermometer informed us about the temperature somewhere in or around the truck. And at this very moment, with the exit-sign London, Kentucky, approaching, we found our instrument reading precisely something above 0 degrees Celsius.

Off the road - and onto the roof for the beer check-routine.

It’s a small step for mankind - but it’s a large smelly beer-dripping metal-case for a thirsty man.

We look around: a dignified place for this historic continental discovery.

And so we fly the banner we brought along for this rare moment.

Only a couple of miles later the Wrecking Crew held a press conference in the tired lobby of the Knoxville, Tennessee, Holiday Inn.

It was going to be a very short night.
