It's just a matter of custom and taste. Weaker-flavored beer benefits from being colder.

i have found certain beers do not taste as good cold as they do straight out of the case.

this is the personal opinion of the writer of this post and is based on data collected during on-going and extensive research. if you would like to make a donation toward funding further research pm the writer of this post or just buy him a beer.

Good beer shouldn't be served ice cold but then good beer shouldn't be served at room temperature either.

Proper serving temperature depends on the style but in general, 10 to 15 degrees below room temperature is ideal for most.

Yellow fizzy water may be served ice cold on a hot day, generally while mowing your lawn. But then, yellow fizzy water isn't beer.

I drink almost everything ice-cold. Except for milk. And coffee. But those are the only exceptions.

Not my beer. I take my borderline alcoholism seriously.

Lager should be served just above ice cold at around 2-3 degrees celcius.....most american lager barely qualifies as lager

Wiessbeir should be served at around 5-6 degrees celcius

Stout should be between the two.

Just the opinion of the Irish.....we know a thing or two about drinking.

You say that as if you have a choice. You guys live in Canada - you have to drink your beer cold.

America's contribution to the beverage world has been ice. not specifically the act of drinking beer is American but cold beer is.

If you're ever in Columbia, SC, I'll buy you a beer just for being honest about it

back OT: I don't mind warm beer, but I prefer it as cold as possible.

a quote from Stephen King spring to mind:
