Never fear. Only lagers should be drank ice cold anyway. There is always ales, which even though 60 degrees is slightly warm for ales (they should be served at 45-50 degrees) they would still probably be palletable. Yet this country doesn't need more laws local or otherwise restricting beer consumption. What we need is a purity law like Germany, so breweries stop selling watery crap.

I'll take my watery stuff any old day over foamy soup.

A purity law won't keep breweries from selling watery crap (e.g., Coors Light). But it'll at least keep breweries from selling something that's half beer and half saki (e.g., Budwesier).

That is one rare gov't regulation I'd drink to.

ahh a fellow beer aficionado although I would disagree on the lagers being ice cold that is an American thing. My Dad tells me of Germans in the 50's (when he was stationed near Stuggart) sticking a hot poker from the stove in to warm the beer before drinking. And I prefer my homebrews on the warm side. Ales and Lagers alike. Cheers
