Starting The Day
I'm sure there are a number of us who can relate to this one! (Today's Garfield)

Re: Starting The Day
Well Al I just stared on Medicare this year so I feel I am still too young to be drinking coffee. Now beer is an entirely different subject.

Re: Starting The Day
While I don't drink much of it, I have found that beer tastes best when sampled during the baking of a ham. Half of the amount from the container goes on the ham and the other half goes into me!

Re: Starting The Day
OH I hope not. I used to have a friend who limited himself to one can of beer a week at home. That can happened to be an 8 gallon (36.368792 litres) one though and he kept it cold.Rebel wrote:"Sorry folks, but drinking WARM beer is akin to drinkin' ..."

Re: Starting The Day
To us UK residents, the whole temperature thing is a big deal.Bigaldoc wrote:Sorry folks, but drinking WARM beer is akin to drinkin' ... well, this is a family forum, so I won't say what...
American beers are lager style, and are designed to be drunk cold. Other lager style beers are also best cold (as our Continental and Australian members will tell you).
Darker beers (except Guinness and other Irish Stouts) are best warmer, especially those brewed in micro-breweries, as if they are too cold the flavours and aromas are suppressed - and given the effort that smaller breweries put into the beers, that would be a shame.
As a Scot, I should admit that I like my beer colder than my southern neighbours, (especially if I'm drinking English mass-produced beer, which requires it's flavour suppressed ).
But don't take my word for it, look here or here
PS : An interesting phenomenon her in the UK is that - according to the natives, beer gets worse the further south you go, from the nectar produced in the Orkney Brewery through the popular Belhaven to the passable Black Sheep in the North of England and beyond to the Southern swill of Watney's Red Barrel.

Re: Starting The Day
Jon,
I'll take your word for it, since the Scots ARE rather well known for that other excellent blend of whiskey, never mind that beer stuff

Re: Starting The Day
That'll be whisky (whiskey comes from across the Irish Sea ) but I do the sentiment... I could do with a nice Laphroaig about now, especially after my trek to work through the (that's me standing upright outside my front door, before I shovelled )viking33 wrote:Jon,
