Back before refrigeration, all beer was warm. It's the preservatives that give it the bite when warm. Europeans drink beer at about cellar temp, warmer, but not warm.
Check out the beer myths vid on Howstuffworks.com. They have a tv show now too, wow. HowStuffWorks "How Beer Works"
Wow, can't believe I didn't notice this thread sooner! I'm a HUGE beer geek, beer is tied with guns and cars in my "hobbies" (otherwise known as my obsessions constantly threatening to push me into debt!). I'm drinking a Bell's HopSlam ale right now typing this. I've got a few really rare microbrews sitting in the fridge from right here in IN and the immediate Midwest.
Glad to see that I share some similar beer interests/favorites with a few of you.

I've been a member there nearly 3 years, tasting and reviewing beer. I used to spend more time on there, before I found INGO. B.A. is a Great resource for the novice or the expert.
Bell's is my favorite brewery...I can never find HopSlam around here.
Is that the one with the light green label or pink label...I can't think of the name of it, but I can't find the other one either.
Hopslam is the one with the light green label
Hell Hath No Fury is the one with the pink label I think you're thinking of.
