To England!

Do they in Germany also? The reason I ask is upon further thought I think I heard it from someone who lived in Munich. I know German culture is varied from north to south, so more specifically, I question whether this is something they would do in Bavaria.

Moooo

Every German I have ever met just loves beer but I have unfortunately never been to Germany so I am not sure. I think they would heat it and drink it before bedtime as a sleep inducer based on the ones I have met in the US. They truly love their beer.

Interesting. My grammy told me I not American, that I'm a European that happened to live in America (she was born in Finland). I never knew what she meant, but I guess it must be true to some extent.

Back to topic, a pale ale sounds good about now...

Moooo

I am just the opposite. Back when I could drink beer for me it was only truly ice cold beer. I would waste beer if I let it sit and get at all warm. I also hate dark beers so I guess that puts me squarely in the anti-European group.

Truthfully nothing beats an Ice Cold Miller (not Miller Draft mind you).

Yeah, and I like the ones that flat yout kick your butt with flavor (i.e. Pale Ales and Bocks). But I also can't take my alcohol at all, so if I was ever in Germany I'd probably get laughed out of the bar for my inability to keep up (two pints, even over a couple of hours, and I'm stupid).

Moooo

I lived in Germany for years. Most Germans I knew drank their beer warm. They thought we Americans were silly for wanting ice cold beer.
They also would stare and laugh at you in a pizza joint if you ate the pizza with your hands. It was their custom to eat it with silverware, and considered bad manners to eat it with your hands.
Most German kids can drink beer or wine if they are tall enough to see over the bar.

Ice cold kills the taste of bad beer. Good beer = 48 to 58 degrees. Just cool to the lips.

Funny how sometimes most of us Americans forget or dont realise Many countries do Not chill their Beer.

I visit family a lot in Ireland & theres not a cold beer to be found.

If you ask for one they give you a funny look & say. so do you need some ice cubes in order to drink that sonny?
"like your a pussy if you need it cold..ala Warm milk! =)

Personally I like a cold beer(s) with a doobie an hour before you know your gonna get some sweet lovin!

In England where they own Lucas Refrigerators.

I usually only like beer alone...not with any food.

When it's open. :p

I keep my beer fridge at 32.5 degrees and the beer is fantastic!

The best a beer has ever tasted is after I helped some friends out at their ranch build a hay stack. We we doing everything by hand old school. The bales were the old square style that went from 90 to 130 pounds. One guy would drive the truck with the flatbed trailer and we would walk behind, grab a bale (rolling it toward us in the event a rattlesnake was under one of them) and toss it up over our heads to two guys on top. This went on from 5:30 AM to just before dark before we had the stack built. I have never been so thirsty in my life. About then the the guys wife brings out a huge cooler of beer. We sat on top of the stack we built watch the sun go down, listening to music and drinking beer like it was going out of style!

Interesing. Friend of mine had always heard this and a couple years back when he and his brother went to Ireland, every pub they stopped in gave them cold beer. He asked a bartender at one point if it was true about warm beer in Ireland and the bartender said something to the effect, "we're not crazy."

My buddy also said that most of the pubs he went to in DUBLIN most of the people were drinking Budweiser. That shocked me a little too.

Since our families from Extreme Southern end of Ireland Might explain it.

N/S are two different worlds odd as it is as most of you know.

To best describe how my family there live..

If Little house on the prarie was filmed in Ireland my family there wouldve been in it & I'd be an
Ingall right now & I'd be Screw!n that Blonde Bitch with the ponytail just to shut her a$$ up!!!

My Father loves to talk Ireland so I just got him on the phone...
He said it IS becoming accepted over there of late.
& it did start towards the North & has trickled its way down.

However he still says many in the family laughed at him his last trip..when He was the only one with his Beers in the Fridge!

I like beer best, when its a hot ****ing day, and I just did some shitty work outside...

chFsssst. Gulp. Ahhhhh.

In Berlin...they drink it chilled (not ice cold), and not in frosty mugs.

It is very smooth and tasty there.... Wiersteiner taste different there, as do most of the beers imported from Germany. No back bite taste.

They say it's the preservative that is needed to prolong shelf life in US.

I don't know, I just found that odd, I was drinking only draft though.

I recommend the road trip.
