Grown to favor their ways after I began brewing my own. Good beer, something with flavor, should be consumed at room temperature. None of the big brewers in the US even come close.

+1 GOOD beer doesn't need to be cold, and many are better at room temperature.


Room temperature is a bit much, but it does need to be about 55 degrees before you can actually taste the stuff.

That said, I can't stand British or Irish beer. Much prefer the huge Belgian variety, dubbles, triples, etc. Some of the German stuff is good.

OK, I'll go along with you on the cool temperature; a lot of good German beers are "lagered" in cool caves or warehouses at that temp. The best brew I've made was a Munich style, brewed and aged in my cellar during the winter, when temps were around 55 degrees or so. So good, in fact, my brewing supply store encouraged me to enter it in a local contest; they said it was the best they had tasted. Unfortunatelly I was in the process of moving.
