[edit] Warm beer?! Not in the North!
A few things I have to point out here: in the North of England we do not have our beer warm. We have our beer with a tall head and chilled! Very rarely, old traditional "real ales" are served at (slightly below) room temperature and as I said before, this is rare. The northeast of England especially have beer, largers and even traditional ales, very cold. Even if they are brewed warm, they sure as hell are not served warm. This article therefore misrepresents "English beer". Yet again, the differences in the north of England have been completely stepped over and ignored by the South.
Americans, Canadians and especially Australians and New Zealanders have all been genuinely suprised when they arrive in the north of England and find cold beers, etc, having been previously misguided by the image of the South of England.
I propose a knew section to this page, detailing these differences in the north of England.
[edit] warm beer?
Should there be a reference for the assertion that English Beer is usually served around room temperature? I've always thought that Real Ale is served at (or a little above) cellar temp (13C) and that keg beers tend to be (in-line) chilled. Billybigarms 16:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
