British pubs are serving beer way too warm, beer inspectors said this week. Inspectors conducted unannounced temperature tests at hundreds of pubs over the past few months. They found that more than 40 percent of the pints of ale they were served were warmer than 55 degrees Fahrenheit. One particularly unpalatable Kentish brew was offered at 95 degrees. “There is a common misconception that [draft] beer is intended to be warm,” said Paul Nunny, director of a beer watchdog group. “Proper beer is cool, refreshing, and thirst-quenching.” The perfect temperature for beer, experts say, is 52 degrees.
