Well, I'm afraid I have to admit that in my other life I'm quite the beer
snob and have been known to, on occasion, when in a hurry for a pint, pull a
bottle out of the fridge, pour it into a pint glass and microwave it on high
for 20 seconds.  No need to wait for it to warm naturally!  No need for the
Coors....  :-)

I'm serious.  Cold beer numbs the taste buds and you lose the ability to
detect  flavors and aromas.  Although it usually isn't a problem for me as
there's a separate fridge dedicated specifically to beer that is kept on an
external digital temperature controller at 52 deg F +/- 2 deg.

If you want to get really picky about beer and serving temperatures, check
out the Campaign for Real Ale at http://www.camra.org.uk.  Personally, I
love having a pint from a properly cellared cask served through a beer
engine.  Wish I had more of it when I was in England last.

LBC content, the beer fridge is right next to the garage, where there's
usually several empty glasses on the workbench next to the '3.
