Dustin Ballard, also known as There I Ruined It, compiled incidences of the term "cold beer" in country songs, and there are a lot of them, particularly in "Bro-country" from recent years.
The notion that country music is full of cliches goes way back. Recall the 1975 song "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" with the bonus verse. Then in 2015, Gregory Todd demonstrated how formulaic the music itself had become with his 6-song mashup. It turned out those songs were written by the same group of composers. Probably on an assembly line.
Meanwhile, enjoy this short but amusing mashup that serves as a tribute to the importance of cold beer. If you pay attention, you'll see a clip from Bo Burnham at :37. It's from his 2016 parody song that makes the same point.
