I don't get it.

The guys behind this website are seriously pushing to making it a law to have all beer transported in cold conditions. Most beer is not refrigerated when it is shipped.

Their website is registered in Golden, Colorado. It looks like it's part of a Coors campagin...they have been advertising how their beer is cold shipped and evey other beer is not. I don't see how shipping cold helps a beer that has no taste in the first place.

Believe it or not Dave, there are people out there that have no taste in beer. Thankfully I'm not one of them.

The colder the beer, the more it removes the taste. Never get a beer in a frosted mug.

I'll take some ice cold water to cool off, then relax with some good beer. Pilsner Urquell seems to loose all of its taste in a frosted mug, as does any real beer.

This gets mightyy subjective though - I'm not at all impressed with Urquell. I like my budweiser and MGD.

Sort of.

It's true that the beer tastes less flavourfull as it approaches freezing. The effect goes away as the beer warms. That's a very different thing than storing it cold.

Cold storage of beer is definatley a good thing, and the closer to freezing you can get without ice crystals forming, the longer the shelf-life. If a beer is stored to near ice-cold, you definately want it to warm before drinking. Often that's accomplished by pouring into a room-temperature glass.

For the record, the US major breweries have some of the least time-efficient distribution systems anywhere. US beer spends more time in warehouses than in any other country. Here, more than anywhere else, cold storage is critical.
