We have been doing this for years in Canada!

When techs/tradesmen/businesss people travel in Northen Canada - there is
always the problem of how to rapidly cool off your warm beer from the vendor
very quickly.

What all the above people do, is open the interior window of their hotel
room, and place said beverages between the out and inner window.

Then, um, remember to close the inner window, and also remember to not fall
asleep!
