    If you mean room temperature- Yes!

    But even room temperature in a UK pub can be chilly cool! UK pubs and Brewhouses are kinda chilly for that reason.

    Ales are more common in the UK (Europe) than lagers, and Ale Yeasts ferment at Room Temperature, so they can fully mature in just weeks instead of months. Also ales are normally not pasteurized and served fresh at room temperature.

    And also light beers overseas are not watered down versions of it's standard like it is known for here in the US. Light Beers in Europe are simply just not dark beers.
    Lighter ales are referred to as Pale Ales in the UK, and ordered as Bitters or Pints.

    Many of Brewhouse beers are brewed right in the Cornelius kegs that are under pressure from the naturally occurring Co2 so that it may be easily tapped, drawn, and enjoyed. No refrigeration required!

    If you end up getting a little sediment that usually shows up in the bottom of your beer glass, It's ok. Because that is actually what is referred to as brewers yeast that is pure vitamin B and will keep you from getting a headache or hangover the next day! SO DRINK ALL YOU WANT- AS LONG AS YOU DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. It's hard enough to drive over there because they drive on the wrong side of the road!

    Why would you have an off-topic forum if not for a break from the politics? I enjoy certain people here and the other forums have been saturated with trolling and shitposting. Even Grind mentioned in a discussion that he's here mostly when he gets the whim to shitpost.

    Here is my picks for best premium vodka brands:

    1) Żubrówka - Polish
    2) Russian Standard - Russian Federation
    3) Ketel One - Dutch
    4) Belvedere - Polish
    5) Grey Goose - French
    6) Absolut - Swedish
    7) Belaya Rus - Belarus

    For the Biden nomination festivities, I am considering either Żubrówka or Russian Standard

    I like the Dutch brand called Van Gogh. They had a melon vodka that was dangerous to keep around. https://www.vangoghvodka.com/varieti...ied=08d36a3175

    Absolut vodka takes me back. When I was a newbie drinker back in maybe 2007 my drink was Absolut Apeach & Sprite. Eventually got to drinking it plain.

    good times

    I generally only do shots at family occasions or church feast day gatherings.

    It is remarkable how versatile vodka is. In last two decades I believe it has replaced whiskey, scotch, and bourbon as the highest selling liquor in the USA.

    It's ability to be gluten free helps that. I bought my neighbors a bottle of local Vodka and infused it with Pequin chili. It's made with local corn. https://gypsyvodka.com/home

    I’ve started to try Texan vodkas. It takes awhile because I don’t drink much anymore.
