Bathwater beer
Just the phrase makes you want to put down your pint glass: bathwater beer.
Inspectors from Cask Marque, the UK organization devoted to proper care of cask beer (”real ale”), used the words in describing the temperature beer is being served as a result of surprisingly warm British summer.
The results of 200 mystery shopper-style pub visits revealed 53% of drinkers received a pint served above the recommended temperature of between 11 and 13C (52-55F). Pints were measured at 23C (73F) at one pub and even 30C (86F) in another.
