Lately I have gotten more into trying different types of beer, and one type in particular that I enjoy are brown ales.
The first one I had was a Hobgoblin, which was awesome. I put it in my fridge for a while, but drank it before it was all the way cold, and the flavour was amazing. I had another one recently that had been in the fridge for a day or so, which still tasted great, but with less flavour.
I know that brown ales are best served at "cellar temperature" (45 - 50 degrees), which I think is what I inadvertently hit the first time.
From your experience, are bottled brown ales best served at this temperature? I have a friend who said he would drink it cold from a bottle, and wouldn't go for the cellar temp unless it was being served from a cask. I'm not sure if it really matters.
Also, what's a good way to measure the temp of the beer? I'm want to just be able to set one out of my fridge when I know I'm going to be drinking it. Would a thermometer like this work?:
