Somewhat of an aside (is semi-on topic as it is about beer, albeit cold beer) - stopped at Agua Mala brewery just north of Ensenada (very close to
California Trailer Park) and had some delicious craft beers last week. Had a few drafts (Astillero, an American IPA and Sirena, a pilsner) and bought
some bottles to take with; my new southbound MO may be to buy some bottles there.
Great food, too - the place is affiliated with Deckmans, the unbelievably delicious outdoor dining destination in Valle de Guadalupe.
As for warm beers, seems to me that the best ones are those with the least taste (Coors Light, etc.).
Saludos amigos!

Best beer ever, warm or cold...
By far and away the best warm beer (actually it was border line hot) was in Vietnam when a chopper landed in the field and a pallet beer was off
loaded and was sitting in the hot sun. As an enlisted man we were limited to 2 beers and needed a can opener to open them up. Best beer I have ever
had, warm or cold.
If memory serves correct, the officers had more than 2 beers.
Funny, I can't remember what I had for breakfast today but I sure do remember those 2 beers 51 years ago!

What...they couldn't drop a couple of co2 fire extinguishers with the pallet?
In 69 I was in Korea, and as an officer, I was only allowed to drink at the officer's club on the compound. Our commander didn't mind an occasional
moral boosting beer drop, but us junior officers were told leave the troops alone and let them enjoy our absence.

Nope, I remember, 2 beers only. Perhaps they didn't want any front line infantry jarheads with a buzz and an M-14 or M-16. Really don't remember the
whys and why not's, just remember it was hotter than hell and the 2 beers went down reel good.
Upon edit, I guess I had fishing on my mind, make that real good.

Best warm beer
My father said "Cold women, warm beer and wet toilet paper" couldn't tolerate any of them. My father was a wise man.

Well some old character recently raided my supply and I had to drink some more tepid beer. Budweiser it was and again it was fine IMO.
Any other nominations for good beer drank at room temps?? Not hot, but not chilled.

One time we ran out of ice camped out along the area that shant be named. It was summer. Placed the warm beer in the tide pools to cool off to around
67 degrees.
Never drank Corona again.

IMHO, Cask-conditioned ales are best served at "cellar temperature". My wife would call that warm, but a really good beer tends to lose some of its
unique flavor the closer it gets to freezing (or so I tell her).
Cropton Brewery in North Yorkshire, England, makes some award-winning ales - all cask-conditioned. Closer to home, Goose Island Brewery in Chicago,
despite being purchased by Anheuser-Busch, still makes really good cask-conditioned ales at their Clybourn Avenue location.
That said, room temperature might be a little too warm, and hotter than that, I would just as soon stick to water.

If the beer gets warm drink water until you can get to town for cold beer.
Nothing tastes worse than warm beer.
This is stupid.

San Miguel, brewed in the Philippines. I visited in the 80s while in the USMC, and it was most often served on ice (and not much ice) because
refrigerators were few and far between. Of course, if there was no ice, we drank them anyway!

Why drink warm beer? Just pour some whiskey or red wine.
If you plan ahead, you’ll have a palatable warm beverage for when you run out of ice, because you didn’t plan ahead; eh?

Nice to hear from some here on what we should all do. And also nice to see here that some have perfect plans that never go awry.
In the meantime, some make lemonade out of lemons.
