You cannot drink ale that cold - it freezes the taste buds and ruins the experience.

Cool, not cold.

OK Barman...It's Saturday.



Can I please have a pint of chilled Smithwicks please....

Just out of interest, if we define a few terms, I'd quite like to ask a question.

So - terminology. Light beer that has no hops is a lager and it's only possible to drink when it's been chilled close to freezing, certainly below 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Light beer that has hops is an ale and it's only possible to drink it when it's around the temperature of a reasonable cellar, perhaps around 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

I'm simplifying, of course, and those are English notions of "possible".

So, in the US, if it has hops, does the glass still have to be running with condensation for it to be considered palatable?

I've got a question. I was in Walmart, gazing at the bottles of hooch and I saw what looked like bottles of beer in a 4-pack or 6-pack but they had Jack Daniels labels on them. Any idea what they were? I didn't have time to read the packaging but my son-in-law likes JD, so if that's what they are, JD, I may have to go back and buy some.

Cask ale is beer. I'm not sure I'd extend the word to anything else, myself. I'm not sure it's available in the US.

You might find the article interesting, just to see the difference in the way we use the words. I'd call what's commonly called beer in the US a lager and yes, cold is the only way to drink it.

warm? ewwwwwwwww!

cool, nooooooooooo!

gotta be ice cold, we use frosted glasses here.

Yo, Barkeep, one shot for me , you and everyone in the joint. I'd like to raise a toast to you.

Sorry about the mess I made of your Tiger Woods thread. I guess I'm feeling a little sensitive toward him, his wife and the others caught up in the media frenzy.

Anyway, *raises shot glass toward Barman* heres to you and everyone who tries to keep the art of conversation alive. *downs whiskey and places shot glass on bar*

I prefer Becks Lemon

Don't worry about the Tiger thread, keeps people talking.

I didn't think you drank ale over there?

Certainly the "beer" I had in California had to be frozen before it was drinkable :wah:

You'd be surprised Bryn....We have many microbreweries popping up all over the USA. Samual Adams has some lovely ales.

I only wish I'd found some :wah:

OK, as ale does exist in the US, do you drink ice cold or "cool"?

I was about to complain that they make them all fizzy when I found this on their website. it’s a Bohemian-style Pilsner that is clean, distinctive and delicious. Samuel Adams Hallertau 24 could only be found at our Samuel Adams Brewery in Boston. In fact, we didn’t even keg it; we just poured it directly from the aging tank into pitchers.I take it all back. I might even visit Boston one day, it now has two attractions.

I now see why my mate Jog move out there - apart from Mog (his wife) it had beer. Crafty so-and-so - he never told us that :wah:

Yes, my family drinks 'cool' beer. But, sometimes during the heat of the summer...when it's 100F and humid, we love to drink the beer from a frosty mug.



Glad you like something about the States Spot:wah:
