Is it better to serve beer in room temp glasses or frozen?
I think frozen
Frozen mugs can cause excessive foaming, but chilled mugs to the temp of the beer being served is the way to go.
... I don't look down on people who do, it's all personal preference.
I usually start with a frozen then get lazy and reuse it

Frosty glass. Shoot I'm drinking more room temp beer out of the bottle...
Cheers
Depends on whether you enjoy the flavor of beer
I'm the ass who stops the bartender who is reaching for a frozen mug and asks him to find a room temp glass. The beer in most bars is already far too cold for the styles I like to chill it further in a frozen mug.

Next time you meet a person that says they love a frozen mug with flecks of ice floating in the beer showing that beer is really, really cold, ask they if they genuinely like beer?
My mom (martini drinker) told me just this and I flat out asked her if she truly liked beer. Her answer was no I don't. Your dad wanted me to have an occasional beer sitting on the deck with him, and the only way I could tolerate it was as described. Icy cold killed most of the flavors so I could drink it that way.
Exactly. Drink your beer out of whatever you want but just know that, generally speaking, if you are drinking from a frosted mug, you are losing flavor. Yes, drinking an icy BMC on a hot day is refreshing but if you are drinking your IPAs at 33 degrees, you're wasting beer.

I don't buy beer from bars or restaurants.
1) Number one reason is it's too expensive. And I know how much it costs for a 12 pk at the beer/wine store. So I always get buyers remorse.
2) Typically the restaurants don't know how to treat the beer and I am always ALWAYS disappointed in what I end up getting.
If I'm in a particularly feisty mood I'll send it back and demand they take it off my bill.
