The short answer is it depends what you defne as warm.

Based on beer experts the temperature for beer should be about 45-48 ° Fahrenheit. Since the average fridge in the US is set to about 37°F that will also be the beer temperature. Most Germans – at least the ones that I know – store their beer in the basement, and very often they don’t chill the beer before consumption, Usually the basement doesn’t have a temperature  37 °F, maybe 50 degrees. So if you are used to drink your beer at 33° F and then visit your German friend you may think that Germans drink warm beer.

Actually my Grandma used warm beer as a natural remedy for the common cold. She heated up a beer on the stove, and then drank the beer right before bedtime.

She always said she needed to sweat the germs out of her body. and you can sleep like a baby… I never tried it, maybe next time I have a cold,

But before you get too excited check out the price tag at the nike store: $400. Considering the technology that went into this shoe, the price can be justified: It comes with SpeedShot RS, a LCD display that shows  the speed, direction and distance of a shot.

Another highlight  is the weight, or the lack thereof. 13.5g, a new achievement of the nano technology “fleeton”, originally developed in the AppleLabs in Cupertino. The sharkBight (r) design makes the shoe aerodynamic and increases the running speed by up to 0.0001353%, which gives the player a never seen advantage.
