I evicted nothing less
 

The sacrilege. A bar that wants you to enjoy the cold beer you just ordered. If I were you I wouldn’t go there anymore.

I'm not complaining about anything. Just observing.

There is no issue.

If possible, I prefer to drink from the bottle.

Well, if it were true, I'd be able to choke down a [fill in scary name here] IPA, so long as it's served in a frozen mug. OK, if I'm being honest I've never met the beer I couldn't choke down. But the fact is, lagers taste better cold and many ales, especially English stouts, are better at room temperature. It has more to do with where and at what temperature the yeast ferments (top or bottom, cold or warm) than bitterness.

The bitterness of beer is simply the hops, which was never supposed to improve the taste, in the first place. The only reason people started using hops was that it kept the beer from going bad longer, back before refrigeration was invented. Apparently, even microscopic bacteria that don't mind the taste of pond scum draw the line at eating hops! So if you put a massive amount in your beer, you can ship it all the way from England to India in a sailboat before it has to be thrown out. That's why IPA's are called "INDIA Pale Ales".

Yup, personal preference is what it's about. Just request your glass, frosted or not, or no glass, etc when you order. Just like some people pour their beers over a glass of ice, and some like their red wine chilled or with an ice cube. It doesn't always make sense to others, but drink it the way you best enjoy it.

Back in the olden days of college yore the beer wouldn't have time to get cold. Many college guys would "shoot" their beers. Anyone remember that?

I'm from Wisconsin. Sorry. :wave:

Go Badgers!

Jump around! :pepper2:

I preferred beer bongs to Shooters. More alcohol than in a can.

Bitter?
 

Now *that* makes sense. I'm all for everyone being allowed their taste preferences, but I sure don't understand some of them. That "bitter" can be thought of in positive terms just doesn't register and I long ago stopped trying to choke down IPAs. No problem with a few cubes of ice also being included in said frosted mug. It *has* struck me as odd that it seems that the "second" beer seldom arrives with that frosted mug. :-) Surely it wouldn't be all for "show". . .

This thread validates Ben Franklin's assertion: "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."

Glass
 

Actually the glass is to sit on to treat your mountainous hemorrhoids

Do not remember ever seeing a thread on hemorrhoids on TOTV
Could be a change from normal subjects, and quite amusing!

"Beer. That is what is for dinner"

Beer
 

Beer is a 12 month a year pleasure in Florida right out of ice cold can or bottle and always an IPA, never a **** beer like Bud or Miller .

Robert Schimmel had a great bit.....’why do they call hemorrhoids hemorrhoids and asteroids asteroids....shouldn’t it be the other way around!
And if that’s the case, shouldn’t a Proctologist be an astronaut?

could be!

Hahah! Probably Cinderella's gardening boot. Hope you didn't get athlete's tongue.

I completely forgot about beer bongs. Lol! :)

A small glass allows one to continually top it up thereby maintaining a frothy head on the beverage.

Frosted glass
 

Pouring a beer in a glass frosted or not dissipates the gas stored in the bottle or can and creates a “Head”.
That gas is going to escape the beer either in the glass or in your stomach.
You take your pick whether or not you want to feel bloated or not.

Sounds like a 20 cent beer at the VFW bar to me. So small there's no time for the beer to get warm because it's gone before you put the glass back down on the bar. Frosted giant mugs sound better:beer3:

Am curious to know, which Florida bars serve beer in a frosted mug/glass?

Do you want a list? Pretty sure there are a LOT of bars throughout Florida...

Give me three in the Villages.

I can give you 3 bars in Brownwood alone...

Now, if you want a list of those that use frosted mugs, good luck. As I said there are a LOT of bars throughout FL...

I never said there were a lot that serve beer in frosted mugs...

Although I do remember getting one at one of the country clubs. For the life of me, I can't remember which one...

[QUOTE=I never said there were a lot that serve beer in frosted mugs...[/QUOTE]

???

I said there were a lot of bars IN FLORIDA. One would have to call a lot of bars to find out which ones serve beer in a frosted mug IN FLORIDA...

I drink beer to reduce my waist line from barrel to keg.:coolsmiley:
