| Nov 2006 | Proper Beer Temperature / CoolingThe proper temperature is essential for beer enjoyment. A beer served too cold will withhold most of its flavor. But while serving beer at room temperature brings out the flavors and aromas and is appropriate when judging beer, most drinkers prefer something cooler. Some general guidelines: |
| - Serve fruit beers at 40-50° F. - Serve wheat beers and pale lagers at 45-50° F. - Serve pale ales and amber or dark lagers at 50-55° F. - Serve strong ales, such as barley wines and Belgian ales, at 50-55° F. - Serve dark ales, including porters and stouts, at 55-60° F. |
