Mini-Fridge completely frozen

Somehow the temperature setting got knocked off to max coldness and the entire contents of my mini-fridge are now frozen solid. Luckily it was only one busted bottle, but a few cans and one keg are frozen solid. Not worried about the cans too much, but what about that 2-3 gallons of beer in the keg? Is it a write off?

Kegged beer will be fine, as will be any bottles cans that don't bust. Let them thaw and enjoy!

yeah, just make sure you let the beer settle after thawing to re-absorb any CO2 that's now at higher pressure in the headspace than normal.

Yeah, things may still need a few days to completely thaw out and settle. Had a foam party last night.
