Seriously, it's because the beer actually tastes of something (all you
get with ice cold lager is the taste of the CO2 and alcohol and not much
else).

In a country that favors drinking the likes of "Bud Light" -- would you
expect anything else?

Shoot, if you were to warm a glass of Bud to room temperature you'd soon
realize what a skunky glass of swill you were drinking. Thus, it's best to
keep it really, REALLY cold.

And actually, on a really hot, sticky day, an ice cold glass of
Bud/Miller/Pabst/Grain Belt/Schlitz/Hamm's/Coors ain't bad. It just ain't
beer.

(BTW: Considering the hardships endured to fetch beer at OSH, we ended up
with a nice collection of mostly good microbrews at the rec.aviation party.
Good job, people!)

I've been to the UK for fairly long business trips 3 times, and was
astounded at how many people there drink Bud when there are so many
wonderful ales. Can't stand the stuff myself.
