Well, this has certainly been a most fascinating, and educational thread. I'm quite glad to see that the old myth of warm beer is, in fact, just a myth. I've always enjoyed noticing the difference in flavors as a pint warms a bit, and the taste changes slightly.

Now I apparently have another vice to look into, namely these 'cask' ales that are mentioned, and the gravity pulled versus carbonation pumped pints. I'll have to start asking around and see if there's anyone local who does such a thing so I can give it a try.

Thanks for all of the great information.

Take care all,


Casey
