Serving Temperature

The optimal drinking temperature for a beer style, which affects aroma volatility, flavor perception, and mouthfeel. Light lagers serve best at 38-45 °F (3-7 °C); amber ales and IPAs at 45-55 °F (7-13 °C); strong ales, stouts, and barleywines at 50-60 °F (10-16 °C) to reveal complexity.
