    No. The British drink most draught ales at what the Americans refer to as cellar temperature. The better question is "Why do Americans love cold beer?" Because American premium, superpremuim (brewing industry terms, not subjective judgements) and light lagers like Budweiser, Coors, Miller, Michelob, etc., would be nearly undrinkable at cellar temperature, 45 - 55 degrees farenheit. The best of them have little or no flavor compared to good British beers, so almost the only good aspect of them is that they are served refreshingly cold. Products of even lower quality have off flavors which can only be rendered undetectable by chilling the product, thus deadening the drinker's tastebuds.

    • Thank you. The turning point of my life as an American beer drinker came in January 1983. That was when I decided to drink beer at room temperature and suddenly realized that most of the beers I had been drinking had little or no taste. That is when I started getting into craft beers, microbrews, etc.
