Warm beer is part of English culture
NOOOOO!
Most draft beer, both domestic and imported, is intended to be served at 38º F. If it is any warmer, the CO2 will be coming out of solution before the beer even reaches your glass, and that means foam. 95% of the time when people have a problem with foamy beer, warm beer is to blame. In order to pour a good looking and great tasting beer, the beer that goes into the glass needs to be 38º F.
I don't particularly care what English culture is, but let's not preserve the myth of warm beer as being part of it... :D
