Icy Mugs

[Devin]

I remember one time I asked my Uncle what kind of beer he liked, as I was going to brew something for him. He responded: "cold".

At least I knew the pressure was off for making a good brew that batch.

That said, there are times that I do use frosty mugs - usually after a long day of working out in the sun, or maybe after a long bike ride or run. But, as others have said, it all comes down to personal preference.

i have some frozen mugs in the freezer, for downing those lighter beers on a hot day but in general, i'm a room temp glass guy. i don't really have a lot of space in the fridge for glasses plus i just know i'd forget to put a warm one in there when i take a cold one out.

Come to think of it, I have a huge tankard that I got from the Movie Tavern. The thing is like 44 ounces I think. If I ever drink homebrew out of that I might want to freeze it first just because it'll take me so long to get through it.

I never use frozen mugs. Until recently all of my glasses were at room temp. Now that I have a side by side unit converted to a kegerator/fermentation chamber, I keep my pint glasses in the door shelves of the fermentation chamber (fridge side). If there are beers fermenting in there, then it's usually around 60-66 degrees. So they are slightly cooler than room temps and you can tell by the touch, but they are not overly cold. Otherwise, just room temps.
