Well, I for one happen to like my beer at a temperature that doesn't freeze my tongue, make it go numb and prevent me from tasting it. Obviously it helps if the beer actually tastes nice in the first place, though. Even better if it slips down so smoothly you don't notice you're drinking it until you try to stand up .....
Anyway, I hear some of you can't handle your curries. I have just eaten a vindaloo from my local takeaway, that will take the glaze off a china plate if you don't eat it quick enough. One day, I'm sure they're just going to hand me a syringe of uncut capsaicin .....There's a very scenic railway up from Dyfi Junction to Pwllheli.
