If you served them 'warm' (room temperature or actually a little lower in reality) like our British bitter, you'd just taste unpleasant chemicals. I actually like the way Australians drink their beer - from stubbies. Like the US, there's a need to drink the beer cold, so they drink from tiny little bottles. A couple of gulps and it's gone. When you need another, just grab one from the ice-box and it's cold and fresh. Out in the blazing heat of the Australian Outback, I'd rather have a couple of cold stubbies than a pint of British beer, any day! Trader Woody
