<p>In the North West of England we too like our beer with a head. Over sized glasses, marked to the pint below the rim, are still quite common. In the South of England, it is as you say, smaller glasses and no froth on your pint. I completely accept what you say about cellar chilled, as opposed to warm room temperature. But I will maintain, that like red wine, a good real ale only fully releases its aromas and flavours as it approaches room temperature.</p>

<p>UK beers are actually served at "cellar" temperature - not "room" temperature, which means they are lightly chilled, not warm. Think of it as storing your beer in an unheated room of your basement. That first sip is cool on the tongue, not cold and definitely not warm. Lagers, as mentioned above, are served chilled. And there are also differences between a Scottish pint and an English pint. A Scottish pint glass is larger to accommodate a healthy head (1/4 to 1/2 inch) to show the beer is…</p>

And there are also differences between a Scottish pint and an English pint. A Scottish pint glass is larger to accommodate a healthy head (1/4 to 1/2 inch) to show the beer is fresh and alive, while the English prefer a smaller pint with the head scraped off - similarly to what they did to Scots rebels during the Highland Clearances.</p> Added to my list of things to…tag:crimespace.ning.com,2013-08-05:537324:Comment:3759052013-08-05T18:15:25.676ZAndrew Drummondhttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/AndrewDrummond

<p>The next time you're in the U.S., I commend McNeill's Brewery in Brattleboro, Vermont. Ray makes excellent English- and German-style beers, and has won prizes all over the world. It also doesn't hurt that Brattleboro is my hometown.</p>
