Mostly agree with that, but not entirely. I do remember when I ran an
avocado farm in Queensland, circa 1996... the summer days were
meltingly hot and humid. There was nothing better than stopping at the
Cooroy pub for an ice-cold beer straight from the tap on the way home.

Generally though, I drink my beer at room temperature during winter
and I like them lightly chilled during the warmer months. And when I
say 'beer', I mean properly brewed beer, not the foamy mass-produced
crap that the big breweries produce.
