Looks like a Typhoon visited Eglin AFB, Florida

At least US beer is cold!  Surely as God had intended.... 

No, no and thrice no. Not in the UK anyway and especially not for Bitter. You can't taste it if it's cold

With (stereo)typical American beer, that's kind of the point! The same can be said for an awful lot of British beer too, though. And Aussie beer, for that matter...

More and more brewpubs, along with bars and regular pubs, in the US are serving their beers in the
temperature range appropriate to each style. The industry here just keeps getting better and better. 
 

Having drunk Bud in New York in the mid nineties it couldn't really have got any worse...

Why do the British drink warm beer?
Because Lucas make fridges too.

That's definitely my experience when I've crossed the pond

When we visited your area Jon, we stopped off at cheese place down the Oregon coast road, almost directly west of McMinville. We bought some terrific micro-brewed beers there and had quite a time later at the hotel --- 

Ah, cheese. Another love of my life  (don't tell the doc). I must admit my experience of US cheeses is limited to hotel chains and whence not very good I'm afraid. I do realise there are probably a lot of very good ones over there, I've just not experienced them.

As the area I live in becomes more yuppified the shops become more interesting. We now have an exceptional cheese emporium who is now selling some excellent cooked meats and beers as well
