Re: Warm Beer Confirmed as Shite

Well you might put it on the stove in some misguided attempt to coddle your tonsils, but civilised folk don't need to do that shit. I guess Wellywood room temperature IS Cellar temperature :twisted: Right now, of an evening, we have to leave our brew next to the fire to come up to temperature. :nod:
