D4\/!d Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Drink it as you would drink a fine port. Room temperature is fine. If the weather's hot then just cooled to cellar temperature is ok too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rong Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Why would anyone want to cool a good beer? I thought you only cooled the stuff that you didn't want to taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4\/!d Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Hello rong, I am talking cooled not chilled. Chilled is straight from the fridge - that's too cold ;) Beers and Ales should be served at temperatures between 12ºC-14ºC (53ºF-57ºF). :cheers2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuces wild Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Beer is meant to be served ice cold. :P Shame on you folks. What do the Europeans know about beer anyway? :P :rolleyes: :lol: :ninja: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 somebody inform our American friends the difference between beer and lager ..I'm just too shagged out tonight (NB.... not .... tonite) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 American over gassed flavourless so called beer is definitely best served ice cold, as it has little or no flavour, and YES I have visited America and drunk the stuff. Real British beer is best served COOLED. It has flavour which near freezing would mask. What do Europeans know about beer? you ask. Europeans were making beer when the only Americans were buffalo, and Red Indians. The migrants who make America what it is today, would not know a good pint if it stared them in the face. :D :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Relax....I was just teasing you andsome....or did you miss those smilies? :PEdit: PS: All we have here in the States are beer and ale Tankus. Some of the specialty beers, especially the dark full flavored (very rich) brewed by small local breweries may come close to your lager.

I just didn't want to leave you in any doubt about my thoughts on American beer. You say that the dark American beers may be something like our lagers. Over here Lager is usually the colour of cats pee, and tastes much the same. Definitely NOT DARK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
