It's a yeast thing The yeasts used in Ales (favored by the English) work best at warmer temperatures and the beer is often enjoyed at room temperature. Lager yeasts (favored by the Germans) work best at much colder temperatures and the beers taste better cold. In fact, German law, at one time, made it illegal to brew beer during the summer, because of this temperature issue (it made "bad" beer).

The lighter in flavor a beer is, the better it tastes when ice cold. That's why american lagers (Bud and the like) are often had ice cold. Down in Brazil, where the temperature is often in the 90s, they drink a very light refreshing lager the call Chopp and it's always served ice cold.

No. I live in Britain, famous for it's warm beer (not quite true, even English ale shouldn't be drunk at room temperature but at cellar temperature of around 13 degrees centigrade -- like wine, there is an optimal temperature). Even here, lager in the modern sense is now widely drunk and it is more or less universally agreed that it needs to be cold.

Traditional British ales are drunk much warmer and tend to be somewhat darker (although that's not always the case) than the sort of beer you're talking about, and tend to be more strongly flavoured. I was recently in the Netherlands and came across lots of adverts for "Heineken Extra Cold" or something of that sort: not only is lager-style beer consumed cold everywhere I've ever been (a significant number of European countries and some parts of North America) but it's now becoming almost competitive, with lots of companies selling beer at ever low temperatures in Europe. Many German-style beers are drunk cold wherever you are -- including in Germany -- so there are lots of precedents for drinking cold beer around the world.

I believe that America is unique in being responsible for the fast-brewed lager style of beer. These are drunk so cold because they aren't produced in the slow manner which produces a smooth flavour in the same way as old-fashioned European beers. This fast brewing procedure was I'm lead to believe induced by the prohibition and lead to beers with various unpleasant rogue elements in the flavour which were suppressed by chilling the beer.

After prohibiton, people had developed a taste for this beer and it's now widely drunk around the globe.

No, there are other places that drink it cold My sister-in-law homebrews, and also lived in germany for a year. Some beer aficionados will vary the serving temperature based on the type of beer...lager, pale, dark, etc so you can fully appreciate the nuances. The most plausible explanation I've ever received for drinking beer at room temperature was when I attended a lecture on the history of brewing.

When something is extremely hot or extremely bold, you cannot taste it properly. The temperature of the food/drink degrades the efficiency of your tastebuds. So if you're serving a full-bodied ale ice-cold, much of the flavor will be lost because your tongue just can't process it.By having it at room temperature, you're tasting the beer itself.

Now, I'm by no means a big beer drinker, but I do enjoy the occasional brew...casually, I'll usually order a Killian's Irish Red. When it's in season, my favorite beer is heife weizen.67alecto's Recommendations Basic Homebrewing: All the Skills and Tools You Need to Get Started (Stackpole Basics) Amazon List Price: $19.95 Used from: $10.69 .

Heavens no! The British do, but they're the odd ones out. Most other countries drink beer cold (fridge temp).

As you will notice if you go into a London pub and listen to all the young Australians and New Zealanders moaning about the warm beer Sources: Me .

When my family lived in Europe I only had a sip of beer and all I remember was how awful it tasted. So, I called my Dad he said that in Germany they do not serve the beer at a refrigerated temperature but serve it at cellar temp which is a little cooler than room temp. It's not really warm it's just not as cold as Americans drink it.
