Some even prefer fermented apple juice...Yes, some Danish beer and even some English/Irish beers are passable. Belgian is known for good, but exotic beer flavours. I can't say much pro or con Belgian beer, I don't know their beer good enough. There'sa lot of drinkable Lager on our planet, I would drink a Fosters when thirsty and nothing else should be available. The English and Irishfolks perhaps should learn to use refrigerators, I guess no beer fromany country does taste good when it's not could.Would you chill red wine? Unpasteurised bitter is drunk for its taste,much of which is lost when chilled. Agreed, lager must be very cold, like white wine. -- Joe
Technically, it depends on the red wine. I am not good with wines, but in France I know people which drink *some* red wines "cold" ( around 12° IIRC ). Same for some white wines, some are better to ambient temper. I could ask my father about that, he knows wine better than me, but I think it depends on if the wine is "sec" or another variant.
I like to compare beers (that I prefer, although I do not say no to some wine) with wines: there are too many sorts to have rules of thumb. Except that the foster is for when there is nothing else, of course, but you know what? French guys are able to make worse... (I will not name them except if asked for, because I have big problems to name those stuff beers) I think that most countries are able to brew some drinkable beers, anyway. In France I like the jeanlain, even if I know that we are not as good as Belgians for beers (I have no real knowledge about Germany's beers. As I never say that I know beer, only that I know them better than average French people ;) ).
