Urgent question: Guinness - cold or room temperature?

Catfish · 02-02-16, 02:31 PM

.. because i just got a present, in form of a Guinness Box? crate?

If i remember right it does not have to be too cold, but what is warm or cold, when it comes to Guiness

Cool, I think, so probably put it in the room of your house that has the least amount of heating, rather than in a fridge or anything.

In theory it should say on the bottles how best to serve it.

Colder than room temperature but not by a huge amount.

Don't believe these guys. Beer is only good served ice cold.

If the beer is cold and the women hot or at least warm, all is right with the world. Just don't get the two of them mixed up. Then it's bad.

Then again, in Germany they prefer warm beer and it's stronger too.

Guinness recommends a serving temperature of 6-7°C (43-45°F)

but the secret to enjoying any beer or wine is to enjoy it at the temperature you desire.

Listen to Oberon (and I love Guinness)

Warm beer gags me...
42 to 45 degrees F on a hot summer day is juuuussst right.

I don't always drink beer.
But when I do, I drink what's free.

I've always preferred room temperature beer to ice cold. Just a personal preference. My friends when I was younger thought it a bit odd; then I started dating a Brit girl and she would actually put her cold bottle or glass of beer on my TV set to warm it up because, she said, ice cold wasn't the proper way to drink beer, so I had a bit of backup for my predilection. Add to that she was a bit of a knockout, and my male friends quickly went over to her side and my female friends, hoping to look stylish, and being a bit envious of her, also followed suit...

I wish to note the envy was not because she was with me (lord knows, she could have done better and probably, hopefully, has), but because she represented a sort of glamour they were seeking to emulate...

Stay thirsty you interesting man!

http://cheaptalk.org/2009/06/20/what-is-the-recommended-serving-temperature-for-guinness/ having had a Guinness at Guinness on my Dublin sojourn, I recall it was cooler than room temp. Now Hamm's is another matter depending if you're playing summer baseball (beerball actually) or in the ice fishing shack...trying to stay warm

Ah, yes, "Hamm's, the beer refreshing", the beer of my wasted (in all senses of the word) youth:

The other cheap beer we used to drink was Olympia beer, or "Oly" as it was known:

An Oly commercial featuring a young Teri Garr:

The beers weren't of the highest quality, but they did the trick...

I like a Murphy's over a Guinness any day. The ideal beer temperature depends on the specific beer.

Hamms is best served at gutter temperature.

I can say beyond doubt that a wheat beer will not be nearly as pleasant if served too cold.
