Typically you want to drink those lite burrs cold because it masks the off flavors, when beer actually tastes good you will appreciate it more at a higher temperature as everything is intensified.

Whatever the temp is outside.
Seems kinda warm for American beer tastes. Are you from down under?I believe 69 is the correct answer.
Drift? Lol.
In Sombertown? From what I remember, it seems like there was a lot of snow there.That's what it would be here - 1" snowfall -> 300' tall megadrift!
I get the argument that if a beer is too cold you may mask some of the aromas, but I like that first taste to be ice cold every time. I don't care if it's a stout, ale, wheat, lager, etc.
Granted, by the time I finish one, it's likely warmed to optimal temp anyway.
Mostly agree, but should one sneak into the back of my fridge, I'm certainly not drain pouring it at day 91. The colder temperatures will help preserve just about everything not just the IPAs, which in general is a good thing; the exception being big booze bombs that you want to mellow a bit (doesn't seem to be a case for the OP with maybe the exception of some Belgian quads and triples).
A colder fridge is going to preserve your beer longer. A cold IPA will stay "fresh" longer. I keep my beer I'm "aging" in my unfinished basement which stays between 55-60 degrees all year long. Any beer I plan on drinking I put in my normal house fridge then take it out early before drinking it. My personal preference is to open it colder than I usually like it, let it open up so I can taste it develop over temperatures.I'm the proud owner of a new beer fridge with a temperature control (37° - 54°). It's installed indoors and only holds beer and kombucha. I currently have the temp set to 37° but after some basic research I'm thinking that's way too cold. I mostly drink Saisons, Belgians, IPAs, and sours. Not big on porters or stouts or other beers that are typically served at a warmer temp. I typically drink out of an insulated pint (Hydroflask) or standard glass pint. Looking for opinions on what temp to keep it at.
