Guinness is great but what about Molson or Heineken beers ? I thought these were excellent beers as well.

Funny story. We had a German exchange student when I was in high school. He was a nice kid and hung out with us a bit. The subject of beer came up and I asked him what beers they liked and drank there in Germany and he listed a number of them. Keep in mind the German beer is pretty robust and according to him, they prefer their beer to be warm.

I asked if they had American, Canadian and various beers from other countries as well.

He told me they did and usually used the American beers to wash their cars with. :huh:

I still laugh when I think of that.

Hi, thanks again, i will be doing a thorough test series over the week end. :D

First, to remove prejudices (or plant new ones) german beer is not served warm, almost never.
You do not drink warm Pilsener, and you do not dring warm Export beers.
Wheat (? = Weizen) beers are usually served cold as well, if not "ice cold".

Best temperature would be around 6-7 degrees Celsius, for a "normal" german or chech beer (the country where Pilsener was invented -> Pilsen).

I would say cold, nearly frozen. But that is because Guinness is pretty awful outside of Ireland, as it does not travel well. For best results you should be within 50 KM of a brewery that makes the stuff, and get it in a pub on tap.

You must be joking.. right.. right?! I mean it isn't as horrific as the so called king of beers, bud, but then again what is?

Right now though American beer is going through a bit of a Renascence with the explosion of the craft beer industry, and they are producing some really top notch stuff (along with some really awful things too).

Sorry Samurai. I haven't had one in a while but I always liked them. I guess it's all in what you like. Right now, I prefer Samuel Adams but always liked the 2 I mentioned in addition to Guinness. I knew I was going to take some heat. :)

You had mentioned the renaissance of American beers ? I'm guessing you mean the micro brews and brewery's popping up ?

Freezing cold is the way I like it. :)

That's because u don't have 65 year old teeth with bad fillings!:O:

No problem. :smug:

I like my dark beers at room temperature and my golden beers cold.

Guinness is my favorite beer.

On tap, in most bars, they serve it cold. Unfortunately, most bars here, if they have it, only have it in a can.


At home, I drink the can, always ice cold, usually in a mug which I have pre-frozen in the freezer. Goes down extremely well, especially on a hot summer day.

:sign_yeah:

This guy.

Kilkenny is pretty nice as well I used to get it on tap at an Irish pub in Kaiserslautern the bartender was a beautiful red head they always drew a clover in the head of the Kilkenny.

Not a clover....a shamrock.

Rgr that :yep:

Indeed its been some time since I've had one on tap.
