Time to admit to a major faux pas
I found myself in Munich on a business trip in early October. At a
beer garden I made a major faux pas by asking for a pint of dark ale.
I was told in a very chilled voice that they only serve beer and ale
was NOT beer. I was almost afraid of being told to leave the premises
or of being taken by the German beer Gestapo. I settled for a Porter
and longed for that pint of White Thistle ale I'd recently had in
Edinburgh.
It has been my observation that ale and wine make fine storage
companions. Both seem happiest stored and consumed at around 57
degrees. So a temperature controlled wine storage unit is a good place
to store the ale until serving. So it seems like the real ale
connoisseur should pick up a small wine storage unit to keep their ale
in.
