Do you "force" warm Stouts/Porters?

I will always ride with @Resistance88. The difference is I can place my beers in the frozen tundra.

 

I am absolutely saying that.

 

My interest is peaked. I just ordered me one to use.

 

@DoctorZombies and @beergoot are the best resources for this endeavor.

 

Still in can/bottle.

 

This. While it might take a while there is a definite change in temperature, especially when combined with the heat transfer of the ambient air

 

The word is piqued, dammit

 

Oh boy, are we really going to call down the grammar ****s? 'Cause I've been holding back for months!

 

I restrain myself 98% of the time. But when someone uses a completely incorrect word, and not just an inadvertent misspelling or typo (and thus indicates that they they actually don’t understand what they are saying—e.g., principle/principal), I think a direct intervention is in order.

 

Well, I don't think misspelling necessarily means they don't know what they're saying (piqued/peaked -- peeked? ), but I'm mostly with you.

 

I should have said it indicates they don’t understand the meaning of the words they are using. We all understand what @MutuelsMark meant by “My interest is peaked”—but by using that word it can be assumed that he meant he had reached “peak interest,” which is not the actual meaning of the phrase “interest is piqued.” That’s why, from a linguistics perspective, I think it’s worth calling out that type of error.

And it’s important note I would never do this to try to embarrass another BA—only to try to help educate. Someone can go through their entire life using the wrong word or phrase without even realizing it (in the scheme of things this doesn’t really matter much), but they might alter their practice if only someone lets them know they have been making an innocent mistake. It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon and I happen to have the time to try to help.

 

I always start with beers cold, but I usually take 1-3 hours to drink strong dark beers, enjoying the full range of temperatures.

 

I’ve returned to this thread a dozen times since it first went live because I keep thinking it’s a reference to Star Wars. The force will be with you, always.

Seriously, folks, just pour your beer and have some patience! (Unless you’re drinking mulled ale or have one of those hot poker deals.)

 

Thanks, I think...... It is all good

 

This is my least favorite thread to ever exist.

What's next?

How many ounces do you pour into your glass at a time and at what angle do you pour i



Leave Stouts out of this

 

Dammit!
Which is spelled wrong, BTW.

 

I put beer in the fridge. I take them out and open them when I drink them. If I do not chug the beer it will warm as I drink it. After being in the glass 10 minutes it’s just fine, even straight out of the fridge it’s fine.

I also will use the freezer to cook beer down quicker.

Enjoy

 

Wow. *That's* patience!

 

We’re already way off topic here or I’d give you a lesson on the colloquialism.
