WARM BEER

    I have just discovered in the last year that beer at room temperature is far nicer than cold beer. The taste on the tongue is amazing.

    Before you disregard this advice and tell me "your drunk OP go to bed", give it a try.

    Anybody else agree? Or am I the last to know this?

    Crazy talk. You cant beat ice cold beer in a frozen glass

    It's even better if you stick a poker in the fire til it's red hot, then stick it in the beer.

    Put in some warm ice with the beer so it dosent go cold.

    Depends on the beer. Cans of Bud and similar are best served as cold as possible to mask the taste. A decent stout or porter is better served 8-12 degrees I find.

    You have finally discovered decent beer. Ale is normally served at a warmer temperature than lager.

    Get a cold and a warm beer, take a sup of each (seperatly now) and hold it in your mouth for a couple of seconds. Go on try it. I dare you!

    I'm honestly not a beer snob, but if one tastes bad at room temperature there's no reason to be drinking it chilled

    My point is you really don't get much of a taste if beer is chilled.

    Warm beer is the same as cold tea. i.e facking rancid


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,512 ✭✭✭Muise...


    My room is cold. Room temperature beer would be grand.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,533 ✭✭✭SV


    Ahhh beer, the beverage that's disgusting no matter what temperature it is.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 401 ✭✭theblaqueguy


    Ewwwwww

    I'd rather drink my own urine than drink a warm beer!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    Warm ice cubes are the way forward.

    I feel like a jehovah witness, nobody wants to listen to my very important message.

    I was recently in the UK with my girlfriend's family and I got a thorough beer lesson from her uncle. I already avoid lager and drink a lot of ales, but everything here is served cold, so I, in turn have chilled everything.

    Over there, they drink pretty much everything at room temperature. I balked at this at first, but her uncle spent the day ploughing me with bottle after bottle of different ales and stouts, all room temperature, and all completely delicious. It culminated with a 12 year old vintage ale, which was one of the nicest things I've ever drunk.

    Yeah, I know. It's like eating cold beans from a tin.. all you know is that you're eating beans =p

    I like beers that I can drink at room temp.. wouldn't drink anything if it depended on being refrigerated first.

    10 - 16 degrees for ale and around 7 degrees for lager.

    I am not sure what temperature it is. I picked it up in the local this evening about six and its sitting on the kitchen table. The temp in the room is aprox. 16 to 18 degrees.

    Trust me, they don't have an important message. Lies and deceit is what they preach. All nice to your face but when you're in prepare to have every shred of self worth taken from you.

    Anyway warm beer, yuk!

    Normally that muck is served as cold as possible to hide the taste.
