Is there a Right Temperature to Drink Beer?

Let’s Find Out

Beer is a delicate drink when it comes to flavor and aroma. Well-balanced beer is nothing but a proper mix of bitter, sweet and sour flavors. Temperature plays an important role to bring out these flavors properly and the way the brewer wants people to taste the beer. When served at the wrong temperature it can accentuate some distinct aspects of the aroma or the flavor and can mask other aspects bringing an imbalance in the taste profile and may not taste exactly how it is intended. Thus, to experience the beer the way it is intended, you need to know the ideal temperature to serve and drink it. 

Many beer drinkers are not aware of how temperature plays a vital role in magnifying its taste and aroma. Hence, they don’t have a great experience while drinking beer. So, before you head out next time to drink beer at a pub or want it delivered by beer delivery Calgary at your doorstep, just know the ideal temperature to drink it. 

Extremely Cold

Mass-market lager beers are generally served at icy cold temperatures specifically in the range of 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because, these beers contain a higher level of CO2 in them, which conceals the original flavor of the beer. These cheap beers are made from rice or corn and generally don’t have specially added flavors and aroma to them. Icy cold temperature implies less carbonation and that helps these cheap beers to taste better.

Cold

As we go higher with the temperature, next we have the temperature range of 40 to 45 Fahrenheit. This temperature range helps to bring out the best taste of Pilsner and wheat beer types. Given that the majority of beers, under these beer types have less alcohol content and a lighter body, they taste great when served cold. 

Chilled 

The temperature range of 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal for beer types like IPA (Indian Pale Ales), American Pale Ales, Porters and most Stout beers. The IPA tastes great in this range given they have fruity characteristics and are hop forward. For similar reasons, medium-bodied and with moderate level of alcohol, the Stout and Porter beers are best served in this tier. Craving your favorite chilled American Pale Ale or IPA beer?

Cellar Temperature

Next, we have the 50 to 55 degree Fahrenheit category, which is better known as cellar temperature to brewers and is great for beer types like Belgian Ales, Bocks and Sour Ales. These relatively strong beers don't need much cold temperature to mask their flavors and taste best when served at cellar temperature. 

Cool

Cool temperature is in the 55 to 60 degree Fahrenheit range and is ideal for beer types that are full-bodied and have the highest alcohol content. In this category, beer types such as Barleywines, imperial stouts, Doppelbocks and Belgian strong Ales taste great. This is because these beers are full of flavors and aroma and hence when consumed at this cool temperature range, the flavors in them are best expressed.
