On
my
last
2
visits
I
was
served
partly
frozen
beer
(pieces
of
ice
floating
in
it).
On
the
first
of
those
visits,
I
noticed
that
the
refrigerated
display
cabinet
was
set
at
minus
2.5
degrees
C,
and
therefore
commented
to
the
barman
that
the
temperature
was
too
low,
and
beer
should
not
be
stored
at
below
freezing
temperature.
He
said
that
he
had
been
told
that
that
was
the
correct
temperature
setting
but
would
find
a
bottle
that
had
not
been
in
the
refrigerator
so
long,
which
he
proceeded
to
do.
I
suggested
to
him
that
he
was
mistaken
about
the
temperature
setting,
and
should
check
with
his
boss.
On
my
next
visit,
I
was
again
served
partly
frozen
beer,
and
this
time
noticed
that
the
refrigerator
was
showing
a
temperature
of
minus
2
degrees
C.
I
again
complained
to
the
barman,
and
insisted
on
being
served
a
normal
cold
beer
but
without
ice
floating
in
it.
The
barman
passed
on
my
complaint
to
another
guy
sitting
at
the
bar,
who
later
claimed
to
be
part
owner
of
the
bar,
who
responded
in
a
shrift
manner
by
saying:
'serve
him
a
warm
beer
then'.
Annoyed
by
his
comment
and
abnoxious
manner
,
I
suggested
to
him
that
beer
should
never
be
stored
below
freezing.
to
which
he
replied
that
his
temperature
setting
was
correct,
and
that
even
Heineken
recommended
that
their
beers
be
stored
at
minus
2
degrees.This
is
utter
nonsense,
as
beer
stored
at
below
freezing
will,
inevitably,
freeze.
The
universally
recommended
temperature,
even
for
extra
cold
lagers,
is
between
2
and
5
degrees
C,
and
for
normal
premium
lagers,
the
recommended
temperature
setting
is
between
6
and
9
degrees
C.
Clearly
the
guy
who
claims
to
be
the
part
owner
of
this
bar,
appears
to
know
little
or
nothing
about
the
storage
of
beers
or
even
basic
physics.
Needless
to
say,
I
won't
be
going
back
again.
