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).
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.
