Chris.....
The only problem with the advice you gave is that, in the States, all beer
is consumed at one or another degree F, not C. Most of us OFs haven't a clue
what a degree C means in the real world, and to have to convert numbers
before sitting down to a beer rather takes some of the fun out of it!
Indeed, when I lived in England, real beer was always consumed in degrees F
there too, so I don't know what these CAMRA people think they know about the
subject...........:-)
Of course, those were the days when a good pint cost one-and-six, so maybe
the world is passing this OF by altogether!
