Answer 16

I assume that you want to know at what temperature a beer should be served.  You should keep in mind that your preference is most important above all.  Generally, the warmer the beer the more flavors you will experience.  Here is a guideline to follow:

Very cold (0-4C/32-39F): Any beer you don’t actually want to taste. Pale Lager, Malt Liquor, Canadian-style Golden Ale and Cream Ale, Low Alcohol, Canadian, American or Scandinavian-style Cider. Low quality beer so you do not taste it.

Cold (4-7C/39-45F): Hefeweizen, Kristalweizen, Kölsch, Premium Lager, Pilsner, Classic German Pilsner, Fruit Beer, brewpub-style Golden Ale, European Strong Lager, Berliner Weisse, Belgian White, American Dark Lager, sweetened Fruit Lambics and Gueuzes, Duvel-types

Cool (8-12C/45-54F): American Pale Ale, Amber Ale, California Common, Dunkelweizen, Sweet Stout, Stout, Dry Stout, Porter, English-style Golden Ale, unsweetened Fruit Lambics and Gueuzes, Faro, Belgian Ale, Bohemian Pilsner, Dunkel, Dortmunder/Helles, Vienna, Schwarzbier, Smoked, Altbier, Tripel, Irish Ale, French or Spanish-style Cider

Cellar (12-14C/54-57F): Bitter, Premium Bitter, Brown Ale, India Pale Ale, English Pale Ale, English Strong Ale, Old Ale, Saison, Unblended Lambic, Flemish Sour Ale, Bière de Garde, Baltic Porter, Abbey Dubbel, Belgian Strong Ale, Weizen Bock, Bock, Foreign Stout, Zwickel/Keller/Landbier, Scottish Ale, Scotch Ale, American Strong Ale, Mild, English-style Cider

Warm (14-16C/57-61F): Barley Wine, Abt/Quadrupel, Imperial Stout, Imperial/Double IPA, Doppelbock, Eisbock, Mead

Hot (70C/158F): Quelque Chose, Liefmans Glühkriek, dark, spiced winter ales like Daleside Morocco Ale.

If that is not what you are looking for, then the beer is warm if you heated it up or did not chill it. The beer is cold if you refrigerate it or put it on ice.

Drink up and enjoy!

Answer 17

Ice cold beer kills taste and aroma. Which is perfectly acceptable if you drink anything macro brewed. Quite frankly you really don't want to smell or even taste your Bud or Miller.

Most americans drink beer too cold. A well crafted flavorful brew is best enjoy around a cellar temp. Not room temp, cellar temp is cooler. It allows the aroma and flavor to open up. We all should know smell is part of taste to it makes since.

I know this is a foreign concept to alot of people. But think about it your Bud or Miller smells awful and taste worse even slightly warm. Makes you realize how bad it is.
