This Is What Happens When You Pour Beer In A Hot Frying Pan

Take a sizzling hot frying pan and a drop of Newcastle Brown Ale; this is what you get. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVTcTLLD9bo#t=28 According to some people far clever than us, what we are witnessing here is the "Leidenfrost effect". Basically... the beer is magically (something to do with boiling points and such forth, anyway) held in midair by a layer vapour underneath it, until the temperature changes sufficiently that it evaporates. Don't try this at home. You will waste good beer.
