Why do Americans drink their beer cold? One explanation I've heard, but can't confirm, is that after prohibition, brewers rushed to get product on the market, and the beer didn't taste very good. If you chill something, you dull the flavor, so people started consuming the beer cold to make it palatable. Things have improved since then, particularly in the craft/micro brew sector. But the Macro Brewers still produce a barely palatable product, IMHO.
