Over-chilling kills wines. And beer with any flavour to it too, which just makes it join the fizzy iced-drinks category (triple but unsubtle sensation, fizz-chill-sweet ie sodas, fizz-chill-bitter ie lagers).

There was craft beer on tap at our local organic fair last Sunday. The brewer malts his own home-grown barley and has planted hops so he will soon have his own. The result is carefully made and pretty good. He has what I'd call a brown ale, that is really decent stuff out of the bottle. But fizzed-up and over-chilled out of the keg, it was just bland.
