Room temperature beer. Bleh.

You know why the British drink their beer at room temperature, don't you? It has nothing to do with custom or tradition. It's because Lucas makes refrigerators too, not just Jaguar, MG and Land Rover electrical systems.

I don't drink ale at room temperature. And it doesn't come out of taps/pumps in pubs at room temperature either. That said, it's not ice cold so as to mask the fact it's lacking in any flavour either (lagers are). :D

I use the "could I drink it at room temperature" as a guide for whether or not I should drink it. Odd as that seems.

I very rarely drink alcohol, so I don't have much to compare them to, but I know I like Captain, Absolut, Svedka, and Grey Goose. It's funny, I can solo big bottles of liquor but beer makes me sick even in tiny amounts. Must be allergic to something in there. :mad:

Don't worry, I can't stand whiskey myself. Couldn't stand beer until a year ago or so.

I don't mind the taste of beer but what I don't like about is that it makes me feel really 'full' or 'blown up' if you know what I mean. Don't know how to call that in English. But I don't drink much anyway.

yeah it's like when fosters lager ran a series of ads where ppl go to extreme lengths to to keep their beer out of the sun.

"fosters - you wouldn't want a cold one."

That's right, cos it tastes like piss.

IMO, you're only able to say a brand of beer tastes like piss after you've had a better brand.
