Beer Question.....
Hi, it's been a long time since I've been on this site. Been busy putting together my new security comapny.
Anyhow, I have a wierd question.... I was having a beer before dinner when my wife asked me why they don't serve beer with ice just as they do with a soda or ice tea.
I tried my best not to look as stupid as I felt 'cause I couldn't come with an answer for her, so now I pose the question to you.
I figure that if I can't get the answer here, the answer don't exist..

American beer is already watered down so we don't need it more watered down. 0 -
Went to Loveland, Colorado with a friend and observed quite a few people drinking their beer in a glass with ice. 0 -

The Europeans often take their beer at room temperature. Maybe the tradition stems from there.
You don't put ice with wine because the complex flavors are so delicate that ice would wreck them (or so the connoisseurs believe). Ideally, at a wine tasting, you have a fresh glass for every varietal. If such is not available, it's better not to rinse the glass at all rather than rinse it with water, which again would wreck the delicate flavors. But rinsing the glass with the next varietal is acceptable, too.
In the end, do you WANT ice with your beer? If so, i say do it up.0 -
It's a matter of need. Beer in this country is served cold. If the drinker consumes so slowly that it get warm I suggest he/she orders a Shirley Temple! 0 -
The tradition is to serve ale's and lagers at cellar temperature. Room temp is roughly 70*F, beer at cellar temperature is typically around 50-55*F. In America, tradition calls for beer to be the coldest it can be before freezing. I drink lager's and ales at cellar temperature. If it's served any colder, you're simply wasting it. Domestic beers like Coors, Miller, and Bud I drink nearly frozen. 0 -

+1 with what Cubs said; when I order Newcastle locally, I order it and a 7&7...usually, by the time I finish my cocktail, the Newcastle is at a drinkable temperature.
I could slag American macros right now...but, I won't. But I will pass on a little joke:
What does American beer and sex in a canoe have in common?
They're both f***in' close to water...0 -
I like mine ice cold. Never saw the need to put ice in it. If it is to warm, 7 minutes under ice is enough. If I need it sooner, I roll it in ice. 0 -

The execs of Coors, Busch, and Guiness were meeting for dinner. When the waiter took orders for drinks, the Coors exec said "I'll have a Coors Light". Exec from Busch orders a Bud light. Gent from Guiness orders iced tea. Other two looked at him, and asked "You're not having a Guiness?". Shook his head, said "Naw- if you guys are not having beer, I won't either." [:p] 0
