Should Wheat Beer Be Chilled?

Pilsners, wheat beer, light beers, and other lagers can be served cold, from about 34°-40°. These beers highlight smooth mouthfeel over flavor (which is perfectly fine in a good lager), so their hallmark is their refreshing nature, which is best served cold.

Should all beers be served chilled?

General Serving Temperature Rules:

All beers should be served between 38-55° F. Lagers are served colder than ales. Stronger beers are served warmer than weaker beers. Darker beers are served warmer than lighter beers.

What temperature should wheat beer be served at?

Wheat beers, particularly the boldly-flavoured Bavarian versions, are designed for refreshment and can be served at between 6 and 8 degrees, where the clove-and-banana character is still noticeable.
