Does anyone know where the post is with the recommended serving temps for specific styles of beers is at? I looked a while back but couldn't track it down.
Carb level
for temp, the list i found is in C, but you can convert
1° - 3°: Any filthy, disgusting beer. The main reason you'd drink a beer this cold is because whatever flavour it has, you'd rather avoid it. You wouldn't drink a beer this cold just because it wasn't that interesting.
Examples: Boags Classic Bitter, Geelong Bitter, (American) Budweiser, imitation Pilsner Urquell, too many others.
4° - 7°: Mainstream Lagers and, um... that's about it. Sake is technically a beer and is usually served at this temperature but I'm told that good sake is better consumed warm. Also, any beer that you are going to drink in the shower.
Examples: Castle, Lion, Swan, Victoria Bitter, Carlton Draught, Harp, Carling, Miller, Molson.
8° - 12°: pilsner, helles and dunkel bock, Dort, Munich Helles and Dunkel, Schwarzbier, Märzen and most other types of premium lager. Also Cream Ale, enkel, Altbier, Kölsch, Weizen, Mild Ale, lower gravity India Pale Ale and Bitter.
Examples: Paulaner Oktoberfest, Löwenbräu, DAB, Heineken, Grolsch, Becks, Stella Artois, Carlsberg, Hahn Premium, Crown Lager, Cascade, James Boag, Dominion, Küppers, Weihenstephaner Kristal Export.
13° - 16°: Lambic, saison, dubbel, pale ale, bitter, scotch ale, cream ale, irish ale, dark ale, red Ale, brown Ale, most other types of ale.
Examples: Guinness, Belle-Vue kriek, Straffe Hendrik Delerium Tremens, Saison Dupont, Caffrey's Irish Ale, Pete's Wicked Ale, Boddingtons.
17° - 19°: All high gravity beers. Lagers include doppelbock, eisbock, Samichlaus and ice beer. Also served at this temperature are trippel, quadrupel, strong ale, barley wine, imperial stout and baltic porter. Any beer drunk while waiting for the refrigerator repair man to arrive.
Examples: EKU28, Thomas Hardy's Ale, Salvator, Chimay Blue Cap.
