I use my finger.

Haha, kidding... that one looks good enough.

 

Hmm looks good but i just let mine sit on the counter for awhile, then open and enjoy

 

Yeah I'm not sure you need to be that precise enough about it to need to measure the temp of poured beer. Let it sit out for 10 to 15 min and drink it slow enough to allow it to warm up as I drink it.... That's is I care to taste the beer over a full range if temps....

 

I use my mouth.

 

are you serious or is this a joke?

 

Bout the same here.....I take it out of my cellar, which averages 45-50 degrees, pour it into a glass and sip. If it tastes too cold, I let it sit. If it tastes too warm, I put it in the fridge for 10 minutes...

 

:facepalm:

 

I would very much enjoy seeing someone order a 10 dollar pint of craft beer at a bar only to stick a thermo in the glass. WOULD MAKE MY DAY

 

seeing them look up the recommended temp then sit there waiting until it hit it would make my week

 

some people are way too serious about the serving temperature of beer.

but if they are that serious, it is worth knowing that infrared thermometers measure surface temp only. if you really need to know if your cask imperial double smoked belgian ipa is at the drinking proper temp, a laser thermometer will not get you within the 0.2 degrees you need.

 

I'm not sure if any of my wine enthusiast friends have gone that far (that I know of). I agree with mylar's suggestion.

 

I've seen it done (though not in a $10 pint!) quite frequently.An inspector from Cask Marque calls in unnanounced and takes a pint from each pump. Each pint is checked and graded for condition and temperature is one criterion.
In fact Cask Marque was forced to raise the acceptable temperature as many drinkers thought the beer to be too cool.
Cask Marque isn'r Big Brother by the way , the pubs and clubs pay them for this scrutiny and if the beer is good enough they can display an accredited plaque.
Love it when they drop in, there are always untouched pints to be had after they have been

 

Thanks. Didn't know that, will get hold of and use the app.
