OMG! That is what I thought I was going to get on my first trip over....I even had friends that had lived close to London for a few years that told me this. I was worried because I like my beer, and I like it cold. But to my relief, I was NEVER served a warm beer in London or up north.

Warm beer never had one of those in the UK, mind you they only serve it ice cold abroad to mask the horrible taste of it...American beer must be the worst in the World.

I'm not a great beer fan, although I'll down a Corona or two on hot days. But, yup, American beer is vile. They don't call Coors Light 'Colorado Koolaid' without good reason.
