If you drink things at 1 degree Celsius you can't taste it. Ales and stouts are beer and they are drunk at warmer temperatures.
Only tulip beer is drunk very cold as the taste is foul.
Ice-cold lager is intended to be refreshing and only delicately flavoured. Not liking beer that cold because it doesn't taste of much is just your taste. The fact it's not very nice when it's warm is secondary.
I can certainly taste lager at that sort of temperature.

I thought you were a contractor - why aren't you drinking Dom Pérignon?

It seemed comment worthy that all the Bobs I saw preferred the luke warm water, and everyone else went for the chilled.

Shame he doesn't work with more nationalities who weren't brought up in Europe. Otherwise he would see some Aussies and Saffers drinking room temperature water.
I did have to explain to one Aussie why in the UK it's not generally safe to drink from the hot tap. He was mixing his cold water with hot water to get it to the right temperature to drink. Oddly they don't like their tulip beer that temperature it has to be cold. Probably so they can't taste how tulip it truly is.

Verdana font etc? Are you in debug or something?
Too much touchiness round here,
But seriously, I want to know how he knew all the bobs were waiting for the warm slurp?

Now, being verdana font prejudiced does show a level of thickness because my browser shows it as that by default...
