  I tried something that worked: there are beers like Kingfisher Light that have pretty good carbonation content.
  So even at room temperature you get a good time. You can try any other beer that has strong carbonation and <strong>little</strong> mild in flavour.</p>

(I call ahead and tip well) but always drink the bucket. If not, give the beers away so he doesn't re chill them and ruin them. Is this strange?</p>

Answers.Text: At a lot of restaurants and bars I need to ask them for unchilled glasses because they go hog-wild with the "cold beer" thing trying to serve like 2 degrees above freezing.  Sure, fine...but you can't taste the beer when it's that cold.
  Really though, your drinking habits are between you and your bartender so if he's cool with accommodating you that's all the validation needed.  Most people serve light lagers that cold because the flavor's not considered that impressive, but if it's your jam then rock it.

Sweetness generally becomes <a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v438/n7070/abs/nature04248.html" rel="noreferrer">stronger</a> with warmer beer. Something with a bit of sour would probably hold up well when warm. At the same time, styles that are meant to be sweet are usually served at/close to room temp: barleywines, or anything imperial/double/doppel/strong. Bonus: you won't have to carry as much.</p>

Comments.Text: You don't need to drink a beer at room temperature. Find a stream, lake, pond or whatever and stick your beer in there for a while. If that's not available, dig a hole in the ground until the ground cools off. Stick the beer in there for a while with good contact with the soil. Cans work better for this. If you have an couple of hours, the beer might be at least cooled off into the 50s or 60s.
