Do you hold onto your beer the entire time?
I'm not really one to sit in one place and drink. I'm walking around, standing around the firepit, socializing, etc.. You're holding your glass every time you take a sip. With a round glass you are transferring a lot of body heat to that glass. Also, where I'm at ;) its 90 degrees outside in the summer and I do enjoy drinking outdoors. I guess I need Bokker-goozie-koozies :)
 
problem solved

I'm very fidgety. I also have something called essential tremor that runs in my family that makes holding things still a challenge (maybe I should leave my beer on a table haha). Its a miracle I don't have severe ADD as well. I'm extremely popular among my three friends though.

Thank you so much for letting me know how warm NC summers get. I would hate to have to deal with 90 degree summer days while drinking my Bokkereyder.

If you are worried about hand heat degrading your tasting experience, I hope you are drinking out of a glass that has its own umbrella to poke you in the eye everytime you take a sip. Otherwise the sun is gonna skunk your goat beer if its not properly shaded outside on summer days. I also highly recommended applying SPF 110 to the outside of your glassware.
 
Clearly the solution is to only drink in a room at 55 degrees and while wearing insulated gloves.

I've thought about holding a tasting in a cellar temp room before. Never actually done it, but for like big vertical tastings where everyone has a small pour of a bunch of beers presented at once it seems like a good solution to prevent them from coming up to room temperature while they're being poured/tasted. Never done it, though, because I already overthink everything and that'd just make it worse.

Just start having tastings in a cellar, genius.

An acquaintance invited me and one other guy to a dinner followed by a tasting in his cellar. Said that he had a really nice aged full cask of Spanish sherry he wanted us to taste. I was busy that night so I couldn't attend. I never heard from the other guy ever again though.
