51 degrees F. for beer. ALL beer worthy of the name.

Sorry, but Budweiser to 99.9% of those in the US means the Anheuser-Busch product.

And it's so damned sad, because prior to Prohibition the US had many, many local breweries that produced very fine products. Some took up again after alcohol was again legal, but sank or were sunk by the Big Boys. Dick Brothers, Atlas Praeger, and others from my childhood come to mind.

And then there were the jokes about Griesedick Brothers beer, and I leave it to your imagination what they were -- but the surname of the Brothers was pronounced "Greasy Dick."
