I actually prefer my Stouts and Porters to be just a bit chilled. I think they taste better as they warm up.

Chilled and frosted are two different things to me and I won't drink from a frosted glass.

I do agree with you about Stouts and Porters tasting better as they warm up which is why i like to drink them in a snifter glass.

I may be old and set in my ways but I like all my beers in a frosted glass. My advice would be to try it both ways and make up your own mind. Never let others tell you the "right way" to enjoy something.

Jim, never apologize for being old....and I know because I speak from experience my friend!

Frosted glass and a lime with my XX on a hot summer day. That's about it.

Met many a professional drinker drinking swill from frosted glasses. Personally don't mind it for some lighter summer beers

This. Bud light (swill!!!) on a muggy summer day in the South - frosted glasses required

I don't mind it for when I'm chugging a BMC product or session beer. But, no way I'd put a rare/limited beer in a frosted glass.

Great read, Larry!! Proud to report that the restaurant I help manage serves their beers in CHILLED glasses only. Never frosted. Actually, our pint glassware fridge behind the bar is the 2nd warmest of all of our coolers & fridges next to the red wine coolers set at about ~64F. I check the thermostats twice a day. And our pint glasses are usually around ~50F, and polished before they're stored as well.

Glad to see this in print. Nothin' erks me more than when I order a nice beer and find ice from a frosted glass floating in it...
