warm beer
Room-temperature brew
Beer served at cellar temperature rather than ice cold, typically around 50-55°F.
Often associated with British cask ales, which are traditionally served this way to bring out flavor complexity: Americans joke about warm beer in England, but it's not actually room temperature.
The phrase sometimes appears as shorthand for things foreigners find baffling about British culture.
