thursday 1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 no doubt a limited edition special. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 It was on tap in an Oneils pub, wasn't bad, but I prefer the Extra Cold stuff Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 you know that Guinness aint supposed to be super cold. It's supposed to be cold as in Irish winter, but not so cold as in lager lout cold. Lager lout cold = freezing, 10 below and the knobheads wear a tee shirt and jeans with their Ford Escorts idling to keep the street warm. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I like it cold!! Go and sit in your favourite seat, pull that bunnet over yer head and study the horses like every other old man that shouts on about the way ale SHOULD be drunk!! I like it chilled, the only non chilled drinks I like are tea and coffee. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 chilled and cold is a bit different. I have it from barmen that the big G should not be too cold. Otherwise it is just a swig. I like my G chilled. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Barmen are jobsworth's. Drinks should be served the way the customer likes them! Anyway, Guinness themselves sell this Extra Cold and it tastes good. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 in that case, they should serve it pint glass forever full. Link to post Share on other sites
seemore 66 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 After working in several pubs in the UK The cellars were never air cond like in OZ. So while in the cellar normally below ground. The air temp was cooler in relation to the public bar upstairs. This allows for a colder beer in the main bar so the myth of english beer served at roomtemp is a load of bollocks. Saying that I do prefer cold beer. But warm Bourbon. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 you see, what you take as room temperture would be around 25. In fact 18C is more like the serving temperature when it is referred to as "room temperature" Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 ambient room temperature in the UK is very different to that of Australia!! Lagers all go through a chilling system anyway on their way from cellar to tap. At New Year my family would often have huge parties. There would be too much beer to fit in the fridge so my dad would just leave all the beer outside, nature kindly does the rest, chilling it WAAAY down!! Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 In winter, I have the same "outdoor fridge" system at times. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Only good beer tastes better when it warms up - which is why most people like their beer super cold - so that they cant taste the awful beer they drink. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 beer snob! I like my drinks cold because they refresh me, warm drinks don't. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I had the autumn Kirin. 6% alc. my, does Autumn not bring joy? Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Just to be clear though - by warm I mean 13 degrees (English Pub Cellar Temp). If you have ever swam in 13 degree water it's not that warm. It's not like I'm microwaving it before I drink it. " my, does Autumn not bring joy?" Hard to answer that question in the affirmative. Yes, autumn does not bring joy. No, autumn does not bring joy. It sure does though, cold, crisp and full of the promise of winter. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The reason that 13 degree water feels colder than air temp is because you are losing body heat quicker in the water and so you feel colder, the actual temps of both air and water are identical Link to post Share on other sites
