Experiment sounds good. Finding the time is another matter.

I'm in anyway. See if you can find a date and location that suits anyone interested. You can write a front page article of you like and then work on the guidelines afterwards.

Saruman, I appreciate your educational efforts, but as I say that's a job for the breweries.[/quote:1qkidim6]

Serving temperature is in the remit of a consumers' advocacy group, if we think it makes a difference to the quality of the products. We should have a position on beer quality issues. I mean, if we think something detrimentally affects quality then it's right for us to point it out and educate people about it.

Maybe you mean we don't have skin in the game. We don't have a _financial_ interest in beer quality like the breweries do. But simply being interested in beer quality is enough for us to put our oars in.

Great. I should perhaps start another thread about it.

Agreed, put it on the beoir members forum please. It's a sort of policy decision.

We'll agree to disagree

I have to agree with CDow on this one, its not Beoirs product, who are we to dictate how someone else s product is being served, If the breweries are happy, content or given in to the fact that their beer is being serves at, what some people think, is the wrong temp then so be it,

You wouldn't go into any other type of business and try to dictate how someone else s product is sold would you? Wht is this industry any different
