introduce - Ice to real beer


It's hopeless. Us Americans have been trying to get the Brits to introduce ice to their beer for a very long time and it simply hasn't taken hold. The still serve it warm.

No it certainly isn't warm, just these yanks think it has to be ice cold and have different flavours in them even, yuk! smile One of them even stated in one post they get Guiness in pitchers, WTF???? lol

Lager from the tap is cooled and just right, and the various bottled ones are fridge temperature.

Don't believe everything you see - AFAIK all beer is served cold.

But I dont drink so I may not be up to date with the latest fashions...

that's because you are used to "beer" so bad that the only way to drink it is to freeze your tastebuds so that you can't in fact taste it. neaner
real, flavourful ale on the other hand should be served in the 50s - it is a living thing after all.

British beers... I remember this pub near Duxford, the Three Horseshoes Pub, lots of Guinness of course, but they had an IPA down there that was just about the best beer I've ever drank, Green King IPA!!
