Absolutely. Or wait – it depends

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,
