Why don't the British drink cold beer?

Because Lucas makes refrigerators, too.

Had to look that one up, here's the explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/thegrandtour/comments/7qa7ko/can_someone_explain_to_me_the_warm_beer_joke/[^] This is a nice one too:

Did you know Lucas Electrics made a vacuum cleaner? It was the only product they made that didn't suck

Admittedly the joke is sort of geared for Brits themselves to read. :)

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.

Sure, but bad flavor and no flavor are different issues.

100% agree with you - I don't find any of the major American beers worth drinking any more. Red and brown ales, Guinness, bourbon barrel aged products. No IPA's -- can't take the hop bombs. Best wishes from rainy Minnesota!

Reminds me of the Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl[^] joke about American beer being like making love in a canoe. :-D

Many "classic" British motorbikes (think up to 70's) had switchgear and electrics by Lucas. Known as the prince of darkness.

Have you ever been to Georgia in the summer?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.
