This month at World of Beer<\/a>, Stephen Beaumont takes on ice cold beer. I’m not going to repeat what he has written, so please read it first.<\/a> I just have one more suggestion (OK, I have more but will keep it to one), and although Mr. B. maintains two blogs WoB isn’t one of them. Otherwise I could just leave the idea as a comment.<\/p>\n He writes that “it’s almost impossible in the United States these days to be served a beer in a non-frosted glass” and suggests sending the glass back.<\/p>\n I propose preemptive action. Watch the bartender pour a beer and see if he or she is hauling out iced mugs. If so, there’s a good chance that every clean mug is on ice (yes – I’ve seen bartenders follow a request for a warm mug by pouring beer into a dirty one).<\/p>\n So ask for your beer in a large wine glass (something for Cabarnets or Pinot Noirs). They probably don’t keep those cold. If you are drinking from a bottle you can just pour in part of the beer, allowing it to warm if the bottle’s been on ice.<\/p>\n This isn’t perfect. The glass will treat some beers better than others – but since the ice cold mug was probably a beer unfriendly shaker glass there’s a good chance you’ll be ahead.<\/p>\n And if the wine glasses are frosted? Go to another place to drink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This month at World of Beer, Stephen Beaumont takes on ice cold beer.
