I can't believe everyone doesn't do that! Why would anyone prefer want warm beer from a can when they can have nearly frozen beer from a frosty mug? (Must be that same crew with the burnt-out taste buds, who destroyed the craft beer industry with all those ridiculous IPA's!)

I even go one step further and use plastic freezable mugs with a frozen liquid core. They keep your beer so cold that it actually freezes the beer in the bottom as you drink it. Nothing better than a hit of frosty beer slush to finish off a great brew!

The only way I can drink beer it it’s at 31.9999999 degrees. The coldness allows me to get down. Never acquired taste for beer. Lucky for me cause I had several family members that were drunks. :shrug:

In the early days when you bought a case of beer 2 glasses with their logo were in the case (replacing 2 bottles) those glasses were the actual glass shape for that style of beer. So free nice glasses for price of the case. Coors, Guinness and Mic usually have them At holidays. So blame the 40 beer glass collection on the makers. I keep 8 in the freezer due to lack of cabinet space

Now the sets of 8 of 13 variables of wine glasses were mostly bought at wholesale, won at a class, or gifted.

The colder to the last drop the better

Hollerbachs German Restaurant in Sanford sells boots of beer - fun but loud/busy place.

Cool chart, looks like something from Total Wine or BevMo. Anyhow, based on the chart, a stout glass has a very particular shape. Wonder why then, when one tours the Guinness Brewery in Dublin, they serve you in glasses more resembling an American Pint glass. I still have the glass, so my recollection is fresh.

You, sir, are entitled to your opinion, even if it is jaded.
I enjoy IPAs immensely. Preferably draft.

I guess you don't realize the purpose of chilling beer to ice cold is so you don't taste the flavor.

Serving beer at 40 degrees to 50 degrees brings out the aroma and flavor in the beer. If it doesn't taste good at that temperature then it simply doesn't taste good. Sure, you can freeze it to the point you can't taste it but that's just a little better than holding your nose and drinking fast.

And then there is the draft beer they bring you that the beer is flat. This is usually due to the glass not being "Beer Clean" Nothing worse than a flat beer.

Growing up, I wasn't allowed to use a beer glass for milk. I was told that it would ruin it for beer.

When drinking bottled beer I see no reason to pour it from a cold bottle into a cold glass. Leave well enough alone.

“The biggest decision I make every day is whether it’s too late for coffee, or too early for alcohol.”

IPA is a citrus beer? I'd have to disagree with that, although there may be citrus flavored IPAs. I don't think hops are citrus.

Why when you are at a bar are you drinking bottled beer when they have the same beer on tap. Most bars when you order a beer from the tap are pouring pints not 12 ozs that you get in the bottle. If you like beer and truly want to taste it it should be served around 45 to 50 degrees F. Americans think the English drink warm beer but that is the temperature they drink their tap beer and never in a frosted glass.

No hops are not citrus but many of them do give a citrus note to the beer if heavily hopped.

If drinking from the bottle you are missing a lot of the aroma and flavor of the beer given off when the beer forms its head.
