IPA: room temperature?

I just don't know any more.

The beer? If so I prefer it chilled but not ice cold. 10-12 degrees around there.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Isopropyl alcohol? Drink it borderline frozen, like good vodka.

New School IPA - chilled

Old School IPA in fusty old pub - room temp.

 

[JimW]

Just a bit under, or autumn with windows open and a stiff draft room temp imo

Thing is that some pubs are blooming hot inside so I'd still prefer it a little cooler.

 

[dessiato]

I like artesanal IPA at about 10°c

If it's 'Punk' IPA it needs pouring straight into a very cold bin. It tastes like aluminium.

Yeah, I'm thinking of the old Green King IPA numbers and such like, that are (unlike most modern IPA's) brewed to be drunk around room temp.

 

[Brainaddict]

Most british-style ales should be served at cellar temperature I thought, rather than room temperature.

 

[Chilli.s]

As above, celer temp not room temp.

Personally, IPA, I go even colder depending on season and occasion.

I finally tasted some of this, because someone buying around bought it for me by mistake. It's crap. How rich are those twats now, on the strength of slapping some zeitgeisty marketing shit on something that's basically just bad lager

The crafty cunts have decided that IPA is both American and served from a keg. Further proof that we're now living in the post-truth age.

8-10c imo. Brilliant read on the history of IPA and ones mans attempt to brew and take it to India in the 20th century

I think it's best served directly in the face of the company's owners, while still in the can.

Overarm. From about six foot away.

I had it at room temperature, which was great. However, I think slightly chilled would have been better. Last night I had some really top craft beer, brewed on the premises I was staying, and slightly chilled was spot on.

Drinking an IPA right now. It is neither room temperature nor chilled. It is cellar temperature, which is correct. And despite now drinking it in Southampton’s finest ale pub, the Dark Star Green Hopped IPA is still not as good as in previous years.

And Greene King IPA is not IPA. It is barely beer.

This is true. It's sad that around here at least it is the most common British-style IPA you see, yet it is shit. I've always wondered who drinks it.

Used to drink it in the Albert in Brixton back when it was still decent (the pub, not the IPA). Low cost is a good motivator I suppose. I don't touch it these days.
