Ales. Ales are warm-fermented to begin with, and they tend to produce deeper, more complex flavors than lagers. IPAs, brown ales, amber ales, and stouts should therefore be served warmer, somewhere around 45°-55°. There is also nothing wrong with serving all ales at room temperature.

Do you put ales in the fridge?

Ale is generally better served at warmer temperatures; from 7 to 12° C is a good range, and room temperature is acceptable too, although on a hot day it's not always ideal. That said, a fridge-cooled can of IPA is a common sight in bars around the country, and it's a totally normal thing to have.

Should you chill real ale?

Ales like IPAs, ambers, and browns do better if served slightly warmer, at 45° – 55°. Ales have a lot of fruity flavors that become muted at colder temperatures. Strong, dark beers are best at room temperature or only slightly chilled. This applies to stouts, barleywines, many cask-conditioned ales, and double bocks.
