6% Beer will freeze (bottled) at 27F. I used to keep my vault at 28F. I sold 3 times as much as the convenience store next door that kept their vault at 40F.

  An old guy here on the lake that has since passed on ran the smallest beer business in the county. It was also the one that did the most business. The reason? There was a sign out front that read "Coldest Beer On The Lake". The sign meant what it said.
  It was sort of funny to pass about 10 beer joints on the way to this place and see most other people that were from the area that knew the score doing the same.
  If there is anything that PO`s me is too be bone tired, ready for a cold beer and get some luke warm BS.
  Beer is to be ice cold and women hot.

LOL ; )


and it's a viking brew made from honey.

Mead

mead is more in the class of wine than in the watered down junk called beer class.

and mead predates the Viking era by a few thousand years.
it actually predates recorded history by a few thousand years.
it was made everywhere there was honeybees to make honey.
Mead isn't vile when made right, and you man enough to handle it.
it wasn't called the nectar of the gods for nothing.

My dedicated beer fridge keeps a steady 10c.

Now i want one of those winecabinets that keeps a steady temp. My basement has to much variation in temperature to use for long term storage and cultivation.

Back on topic.. 26c temp in a beer?? yuck, sounds as good as an open leftover from yesterdays party with sigarette butts in it thats been standing in the sun all day.

vomit

damn vikings, the beer is out at the sun all day and only hit 26C.

wish we had that sun

Ok, but when it reaches 26 it has been allowed to cool abit again after sitting in the sun... lets say 20:00

I prefer a good meade as well. The problem is finding a good meade.

I normally drink bitter at a pub, but in the weather we're having now (30°+) bitter doesn't always taste right. That's why lager sales boom in the summer. As for the temperature of the actual beer, I would expect bitter to be served at about the same temperature as the water coming out of my kitchen tap (faucet).  Hence, not warm. And no ice, please - it dilutes the beer. Of course, with American beer (eg. Bud) you can't tell the difference! BUT... it has to be said that America has come on in leaps and bounds - some of the microbrews are really jolly good!

Gotta agree with SkyDancer, Lagers are supposed to be chilled before drinking, but real ales, stouts, and porters are just dandy at room temperature.

In fact, I find that several of the more complex ales are less interesting when chilled. It's been my experience generally that the warmer a beer is, the more your tongue is able to distinguish the varieties in the taste. Of course, this analogy breaks down when you exceed room temperature and begin to move from Beer to Toddy.
