... there seemed to be two categories of craft beer fans. One that liked beer cold/cooler, and when it got warmer did not. And one that thought beers just kept getting better as they warmed up.
For me it depends on the beer but I don't prefer any at room temp, nor do I prefer any frosty cold.
Various taste and smell characteristics come out at different temps.
EX. Too warm frequently means too-much foam and the inability to get a swallow of actual beer in the important first one or two swallows.
Too cold and there often isn't enough foam and many of the smells are suppressed.
And different brews shine at different temps.
My opinion anyhow... for what it's worth ( hey that just made me think of Buffalo Springfield :) )

Edit: But I never prefer a frosted glass
 
I don't use frosted glasses, my beer isn't seen at its best in one.

Last finings used were kettle finings. Does it qualify as a craft beer? Not that I'm bothered.
