He’s got the whole beer thing wrong. When people say our beer is warm they’re referring to ale which is served at room temperature. What Americans call beer we call lager which is served cold
Ale is also served at room temperature because there's a lot of complex flavours that would be lost at colder temperatures. (Colder things have less taste.) You can have a wide range of hop, barley flavours as well as chocolatey, coffee-ish, fruity, buttery, nutty flavours that different ale's can have depending on the brewers intention. A lot more variety. The is comparison to lagers which are cold refreshing drinks but mostly taste the same.
Kegged ie served by gas, beer/lager is chilled. Live Casked Ale is physically pumped out and served at the cellar temp (often slightly lower than room temp).

In school my English classes weren't called "English", students did called them that, but we had "English Language" and "English Literature", which didn't need to be pluralised (pluralized). Also, I didn't have a "Science/Sciences" class. I had "Biology", "Chemistry", and "Physics".
the word science is actually a term of a process of deduction that all three fall under. while they are seperate entities they all follow a scientific principle. which is why it is not necessary for a plural indication. 😉
@doobsthegr8 no I'm British. And yeh we had gymnastics both within pe but also as a lunchtime club and after school activity. And it was always referred to as gym. "I've got gym club"
I was very confused about this. I thought pudding a specific type of dessert, with some sort of cake. So glad to have that cleared up. We Irish do have black and white pudding which is delicious, imo. Clonakilty pudding is probably the best.
11:09 a lot of American attitudes to food of the British Isles date to world war 2 and US GIs coming over, hating the food and telling everyone all about it at length on their return home. Never mind that refrigerators and freezers were expensive and rare. Never mind that we were at war and food rationing was a thing. In reality things have moved on considerably since then.
Just to make things more confusing, Pudding *is* just another word for dessert, *but* there's a lot of other things we refer to as pudding as well, such as Yorkshire pudding, which is basically pancake mixture baked in the oven in a tiny bit of hot fat, and served with a main meal, usually roast beef, but it goes well with any roast. It's up to you how you have it. We also have meat puddings, like steak and kidney pudding. These are sponges made from suet and steamed. We also have black pudding, which is made from pigs blood and cereal and I'm not sure what else. Anything else you might have for dessert can be referred to as pudding. For instance ice cream, a fruit salad, Rice Pudding, a flan etc.
Pudding is, to many of us, a generic term for dessert. For example "Mum, what's for pudding?" Additionally, actual pudding can be sweet or savoury and encompasses everything from black pudding to treacle pudding.

The "warm beer", It refers to proper ale (cask ale), not lager which Americans might refer to as beer, for example Bud or Coors. Just like the rest of the world this is drank ice cold out the fridge, have a bbq and a cold "beer" goes down a treat. if its cask ale, it isn't ice cold, but certainly isn't "warm". They are and should be served at cellar temperature and not artificially cooled. Because its not ice cold, it created the myth/stereotype that we drink warm beer. The same myth about Brits having bad teeth, when infact we have some of the best in the world (at one point we held top spot). Americans are known for having more dental cosmetic work than any other country, but tooth decay in American children is off the chats.
" but tooth decay in America is off the charts" Yes that is true! You can tell that by the fact that the modern tooth brush was invented in Kentucky, otherwise it would have been known as a 'teethbrush'!
This is more historical , when casks may be in a cellar, or even behind the bar, and served at cellar or room temperature. Only likely at beer festivals these days. I remember a pub in Derby that stacked the casks behind the bar, in the Nouthies!
On my last visit back to the UK, there was a cask of real ale sitting on the bar. It was a warm day ( I am reminded of an old Daily Mirror headline, 'Britain sizzles in the 70s) I tried it. it was bloody 'orrible!
Ale in the UK must be stored in a cellar at around 54 degrees Fahrenheit (old imperial units for context, and because that was how I learned it 30 years ago). Warmer than that and the beer spoils. Colder than that and you lose flavour, which is the point of drinking ale.
As a brewer with no cellar I served at room tempreture summer or winter and no one ever refused a pint based on tempreture. You may be right that cooler extends the life as mine lasted about 21 days with out bottleing in the original barrel.
The beer question is simple we drink cold lager which you Americans drink but call beer, which came from German immigrants, where here in Britain beer used to mean bitters and mild beers which traditionally served at room temperature, so we say Lagers and beers
Puddings are basically any item, that *is or traditionally was* cooked by steam. Christmas Pudding, Steak& Kidney Pudding (ie) Suet Pudding and Black Pudding etc... etc...
As a previous comment state, Beer is a collective noun for the various types of beer. Ale (a type of beer) is drunk at room temperature so regardless of the availability of a refrigerator, it should be stored at room temperature. Lager (another type of beer) is drunk chilled and so it is either stored in a refrigerator or passed through a chilling system as it is pumped into the glass. Ale is a traditional British beer whilst Lager is an imported format/recipe even if it is manufactured in the U.K. these days. American beers are mostly if not exclusively of the same format as Lager. Stout is another form of beer. Originally served at room temperature, it is most often served chilled these days. Examples are Guinness and Beamish (Irish origin) and Mackeson (English origin).
A "British" person is someone from the UK, just like an "American" is someone from the US. We don't have a better demonym for someone with UK nationality. ("British" also extends to people outside the UK like the Isle of Man and Channel Islands if we're being technical.) The term "British" is controversial within Northern Ireland. There's some parts that are adamant they are British and NI is fully part of the UK. Whereas other parts are adamant they are Irish and live in occupied territory. To solve this someone born in Northern Ireland is able to choose to have British, Irish or both citizenships.
I visited The Epcot Center as a teenager, where they had an 'authentic' English pub, serving 'authentic' English ales. They had beer warmers! Like those electric element thingies you stand in a cup of soup. They were literally heating up beer and serving it and lots of Americans were lining up to try it the 'British way'. How wrong can they be? I had never seen or heard of anything so ridiculous in my life. I think it's something that was initially misunderstood from old times when hundreds of years ago, the ales served in pubs were only as cold as the cellar they were stored in, but no beer is ever served warm.
@@kombat6555 i think they were called mulled bear and wines, and honey mead I'm sure was served warm on those cold winter nights... I don't mean bitters or larger, they have nowadays...
In the US, 'pudding' is a horrible synthetic gloop. In UK, pudding can mean almost anything we want it to mean, from black pudding via Yorkshire pudding to almost any dessert.
Did you ever think that pudding can be made from scratch from fresh ingredients rather than prepackaged from a shop? Don't tell me you don't have prepackaged food in the UK 😂
@@ukaly1 Yes, but these extremely dim UA-camrs don't cook, and seem to live on fast food. I don't make my own black pudding, but I do everything else from scratch.

Fun facts: The majority of people don't know that the British Isles consists of OVER 6,000 islands (an 'isle' is considered an area larger than 1 hectare of land; about the size of an International Rugby pitch). Also, although the hectare is a non-SI unit, it is the ONLY one accepted as a measurement for use with SI units. Many of these islands disappear under water in a 24 hour period due to falling & rising tides around the UK. Great Britain is the largest island, Ireland the 2nd largest and then Scotland's 'Lewis & Harris' is the 3rd largest (which is just one island of the Outer Hebrides, but having two named parts). Also included in the British Isles are the Channel Islands off Northern France (although they are geographically NOT part of the British archipelago). Officially (and not counting sign language), the BI's have over 13 languages I.e. English, Manx, Welsh, French etc. 😊
PS, the Monarch is the UK (and others of his realms) is best described as having extensive constitutional powers, none of which (or very few of which) he exercises. He delegates almost all of these powers to the government. The value of this is that the monarch legally has those powers which he could exercise as a last resort, such as the Prime Minister refusing to call an election after five years, or trying to call out the military to make himself a dictator.
Simplified The king has the legal authority and duty to protect the people from the folly of politicians and parliament Parliament, which has executive power, through the Prime Minister, has the task of protecting the people from the King's follies *** Generally, the King/Queen stays out of politics, and is the ultimate authority and diplomat in the service of the monarchy *** Formally, he is also the supreme judge, but I believe that no one in the UK has the desire or will to seek a trial before the King/Queen, because then no "laws" or "procedures" apply, then you are at the mercy of the King and there is no appeal against the verdict
That power of the crown also extends to the Commonwealth Realm like Canada. A few recent examples. In our province BC, we had an election where it was very close. Our premier, kind of like a provincial Prime Minister, went to the Province's Lieutenant Governor (pronounced lefttenant here!) and asked if the election could be held again, to avoid a minority government. The LG is the crown's representative in the province. She had the power to decline, which she did! Another more recent example was where the Governor General, the Crown's rep for all of Canada, was causing all kinds of trouble in her office. The PM, Justin Trudeau did try to put things right, but it just got worse. It was then 'strongly suggested' that she retire. She initially refused. It was at this point that it was realised , that the PM could NOT fire her, only the Queen could! Before this happened, she did quit!
Nope a body called the Privy Council would make the decision, the Privy Council is a body of senior current and former MP'S and Members of the House of Lords.
The beer thing: Pubs serve beer from casks (historically, wooden barrels) stored in the cellar - generally colder than the public bar area. So it would not be warm, but should be a few degrees cooler than room temperature. In contrast, America can generally get much hotter than Britain, so air conditioning is standard and widespread - and drinks are generally cold, as cold as you can get them. For instance, the burger chain A&W don't just cool their signature root beer in the fridge, they also store their glass mugs in the freezer, so it stays colder for longer after it is served. In contrast I used to regularly drive past a home-made sign at the side of the road advertising the local pub. It was in southern England in an area with lots of visiting Americans. It advertised the pub with "warm beer, lousy food".
In the UK beer is never served warm, it is either sold at room temperature or cellar temperature. The reason for this is because beer is a living entity because beer contains living yeast. When you chill beer you kill the beer. We like our beer natural and unfiltered and without chemicals. In the states they chill beer and add a small amount of poison to kill the yeast, the beer is then filtered. Who wants to drink chemically altered beer?
My opinion is that was a great reply. As a former brewer reading your reply I agreed but formed the question about what then is the difference with larger (USA Beer). But dead yeast or inactive answered that for me. It maybe also explains why so many places in England advertise some beers as filtered. TY
'Mathematics' has its final 's' because it derives from the Classical Greek word mathematikos (transcribed from the Greek alphabet.) As educated people were writing in Latin and Greek it was quite natural to retain the 's' although treating the word as a singular. As to beer, English beer is served at very slightly below roomtemperature as this is the temperature at whch is most flavoursome. American (and German) beers have very little taste at room or fridge temperature. Think of win. Red is usually served at room temperature and white chilled. (Although I know some Americans serve red wines chilled - there is clearly no accounting for taste or the lack of it!)🙂
Pudding ermmm - pudding is all the things that the video explained, but also in UK there is a suet pudding that is a suet pastry case with a (usually) meat (usually beef) and gravy mixture put in a bowl with a top on (usually cotton or greaseproof paper tied with string around the bowl) and steamed in a pan of boiling water for a couple of hours until cooked. It tastes goooood! But is obviously savoury, so we can have pudding as a main and pudding as a dessert! (Also in Yorkshire, Yorkshire pudding is traditionally served as a starter, although not many people outside Yorkshire even know this little fact).
The 'warm beer' the Americans moan about comes from WW2 when we generally did not have fridges. It came out of the beer cellar, which was cooler than room temperature. It was necessary as our beer, not lager types, needed to be kept at.
and i bet for the life of me as an Englismen you don't even know English is derived from 14th century French, latin and Germanic......... English is not the oldest language in the world not even close so it's not the mother language it never was

@@Sparx632 They're British citizens too. It's just they can *also* be Irish. Some identify as British, some don't, it varies. Tread lightly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"Pudding" describes any desert that served after a main course. Deserts not served after a main course will just be called their product name (cheesecake, etc) or collective name (such as ice-cream, etc).
People born in Northern Ireland are generally considered British citizens by birth under the British Nationality Act 1981 if one of their parents was either a British citizen or legally settled in the UK at the time of their birth.20 Oct 2022 (house of lords).
Pudding in Australia refers to a boiled dessert, most probably Christmas Pudding, but there are recipes for many others. We have supermarket pudding that’s a powder we mix with milk and leave in the fridge to set.
The putting of an 'R' in between certain phrases is a real thing, one that I did not notice until a Syrian friend I made a a festival in the Czech Republic asked me about it and I suddenly realised it was true!
Is it not to do with the different sounds of 'A'. Some can sound like AE (Aie) whilst others sound like 'a' (aa. as in words such as bar, Ma, Car, far, ga, ha, jar, la, Ma, nah, Pa, rah, ta, and yah. Some artists may use 'r' but they are artists using rhyming as a device. In the JL words 'I saw r film today oh boy. He is rhyming the 'r' with the end of the next line '........'had just won the war'. It is a common enough poetical device. So I think it is not proper English as in PR English but is artistic (Artistic Licence) as well as west country corruption dialect Au Arrrrrrrr! Arrrrrr me hearties. Arrrrrr Jim lad.
He's talking out of his arse..the question refers to UK cask beers Lawrence is comparing keg beers, both served the same in the UK & US. Cask beer is a whole different story, needs looking after in the cask, served warmer than keg beer so has a vastly different flavour profile. Far too complicated for you Tyler.
I agree with this. The clarification that needed to be made here was what type of Beer. In the USA the dominant form of beer, drunk in most placed, is a pale lager. Those are usually served cold in both countries. The thing is (pulling numbers out of my arse), when 90% of the beer in the USA is a cold lager vs 50% of the beer in the UK, then it seems like more beer is cold in the USA. No, the UK just has a culture of drinking more pulled keg beers and ale, which taste better warmer.
As others have stated "warm beer" is not referring to common lagers . Real Ale /Cask Beers/ old fashioned pint of bitter are not traditionally served ice cold. I used to drink Directors which was best at 4°C.
The majority of people from Northern Ireland will say they are British or Irish. People from Scotland will say they are Scottish. If asked where I'm from I will say England. You forgot about the Commonwealth. Canada only became independent from Britain in 1982. In Australia, New Zealand and Canada the head of state is still King Charles.
Kind of the same as pudding, I find the use of “tea” meaning just any meal eaten during the evening quite funny. Like “ we’re having hamburgers for tea tonight”. 😎
Pudding as a term for the entire dessert course: this is both regional and class based. Formal occasions and fancy restaurants and posh people and quite a lot of Southerners would refer to it as the dessert course rather than pudding. Informally, among working-class people and in the North, pudding very much is still used. Of course it's also used to refer to specific dishes, not all of which are desserts.
Dark beer and porters are made to be warm or room temperature. Larger beer is made to be chilled. Would you drink a cold drink in the snow? So on the Pennines it is normal for some traditional beer drinkers.
Room temp is cellar temp 55, real ale pubs serve it at 55. Im from 30 years in pub trade. We actually like our lager and cider much cooler and is therefore chilled with equipment. The reason is that real ale is served at cellar temp is why their is this mis-understanding. Dessert is an adopted French word, and the olde English word pudding is an old Viking word for a honeyed bread. The reigning Monarch can hang government in national emergency and form anew only under certain conditions though.
You would take your beer back in a pub if it was served at room temperature, let alone warm. Cellar temperatures, where the beer is stored and pumped from, are kept at 12 degrees centigrade. The beer lines to the pumps pass through a chiller, called a remote. Lager is chilled more than keg beer.
I'm British, and you're right, we say we're British more than UK, that's probably just because there isn't a word for "UK resident". What are we going to say, "I'm UKish", "I'm a UKaian"? Secondly, he's right about British people loving to moan but it goes beyond that. We UKians love the underdog. We feel most comfortable and at home when we see people being humble and failing, a LOT. We mostly don't like people who succeed or do well, because we generally do not do well. The best we hope for is to survive, to get through it, to endure what ever shit is raining down on us. American's though (I understand) like to believe that they will succeed, they will do fantastic, they will achieve the (American) dream. That just makes us mad, especially if they actually are doing well. More than that you believe in your country, think it is great. We love our country also, or at least we love our own little slice of it, but thats for our innermost thoughts and for when others attack it, but most of the time, we like to put it down ourselves and moan about how rubbish it is. Also, lager is drunk chilled and bitter is drunk at room temperature (although that might more accurately be from the cool beer cellar).
As someone who has studied an MA TESOL, there is actually something called “Englishes” it is used to describe the different types of English spoken in the world.
"its technically correct, which is the best type of correct" - classic!!! ill be stealing that and using it myself pretty soon. Cheers average American geeza !!

Some ales and stouts lose flavour when chilled so they are generally served at room temperature. Lager and other "fizzy" beers are almost always chilled.
I was born in London. Mathematics you have explained. We do actually say "watch sports on TV ". We don't put an R into words. But perhaps regional accents sound like an R. We do drink "real ale" at cool cellar temperature. Occasionally I've put ice in it. It isn't warm but comes from a chilled cellar.
It's true that the royal family in the UK is mostly ceremonial in nature but the king is still regarded as head of state and nothing happens without his approval. The royal family are not involve in the politics of the country and choose to remain impartial to keep the country's stability preventing any uprisings.
11:34 - When you say "beer" you're thinking of what we would call Lager. Ale is served at CELLAR TEMPERATURE from barrels with a "draft pump" - it's definitely NOT warm but isn't kept in a refrigerator (Fridge to Brits lol)
Regarding UK vs Britain: "British" _doesn't_ mean from Britain. British is the name of the nationality. So *all* people from the UK, whether in Britain or not, are British.
The debate between "math" and "maths" often centers around regional differences, with "math" being used in the United States and "maths" in the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries. However, the reasoning behind the use of "maths" goes beyond the idea of it being a plural form. A more accurate explanation lies in the etymology and the way the term is used. "Maths" is short for "mathematics," which is derived from the Greek word "mathematika," meaning "things related to learning." The word "mathematics" is treated as a singular noun despite ending in "s," and in British English, it's common to abbreviate it as "maths" to reflect its full form. The British preference for "maths" also aligns with how they abbreviate other subjects or terms that end in "ics," such as "physics" becoming "phys" or "economics" becoming "econ." In contrast, American English tends to prefer simpler, shorter abbreviations, leading to the use of "math" instead. Thus, the choice of "maths" is not because it is plural, but rather as a reflection of its full form "mathematics" and the linguistic convention in British English.
Mathematick as the sunject predated mathematics. During a language reform in the 17th century we changed to mathematics to fit the naming of other fields of study(physics for example). Before the change "math" was used almost exclusively. During the change "maths" was often used to differentiate the language that'd be used(so "math" was old terminology, "maths" was new terminology), but people tended to use what they grew up with. When the settlements in the new world(america) wrote books they didn't need the separation of terms, they split off after the terminology changes, but before the new generation grew up with the new books, so they used a mix of the two(old and new). Maths wasn't meant to be plural, it was meant as a shorthand to differentiate the old Latin heavy word based approach from a more modern approach(so no more talk of "a unit length", we just write 1, it's not "a right angled triangles third side may be expressed as the positive of the square root of the squared unit lengths of the sides touching the right angle sumated" we just say "a² + b² = c²").
On the "beer" question, Beer as its known in the USA is called Lager in the UK and its always served cold. Beer would usually refer more to real ale over here, or i think Americans call it craft beer, this can be served at a higher temp, though its very rarely as high as room temp, its cool but not ice cold.
"British" is a nationality. "Britain" (Great Britain to be proper -- more on that below) is a geographical location. "British" is a collective nationality ascribed to English, Scottish, Welsh and members of the Unionist communities in Northern Ireland (who consider themselves to be British). However, the Nationalist communities in Northern Ireland consider themselves to be Irish as a nationality and would, on the whole, be quite offended if they were referred to as British -- like calling a Scottish person English). Together, the geographical locations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern make up the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" -- this is not a geographical location, but a political and constitutional entity. "Great Britain" comes from the French region "Bretagne" or "Brittany" in English. At the time of the French invasion of England in 1066, the French speaking invaders, led by William the Conqueror, referred to their conquested land as "Grande Bretagne" (they still do) or "Greater Brittany" in English -- which evolved into "Great Britain". Last note -- the "British Isles" includes the whole island of Ireland as well as the main land and surrounding islands, but that is a carry over from the past when Ireland was entirely ruled by the British and so in this exception, the "British" in "British Isles" does not refer to a nationality, but to a geographical location.
'British' as a nationality also includes citizens from British Overseas Territories (such as Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha, Pitcairn Islands etc.).
@@Langstrath Yes, that is correct -- my explanation was in the context of British, Britain and how it relates to the the UK and why people who come under the auspices of the UK tend to describe themselves as British and not from the UK, which is a political construct -- because of the nuances. The overseas territories are neither part of the UK, or the geographical locations Britain or the British Isles. Whilst they remain British overseas territories, the residents have the right to call themselves British as a nationality (just like the Unionists in Northern Ireland even though Northern Ireland is not part of Britain). However, if any of those territories were to break away or gain full independence, "British" would no longer apply -- just like if Scotland were to gain independence. If Scotland were to be independent, it would still be part of the British Isles, but not Britain. Its people would be Scottish as a nationality, but not be part of the UK.
Can you name a source in Norman French which uses that term "Grande Bretagne"? Why would the Normans even care about the name of the island when Angleterre was their concern, not Britain? Greek literature was calling the island "Great Britain" 1000 years before the Normans and several hundred years before the name "Brittany" had been coined in France. At best, the Normans would have been using an existing term.
I think the thing you are missing about people saying they are British is, whilst Northern Ireland is not in Great Britain those living their are British citizens, which is why they would/might say they are British. Hope that helps
The beer thing started in WWII. G.Is were used to lager which is chilled. We drank ales, stouts and bitters which weren't cooled. Beer came over 10000 years before cooling .
Correct, "saw a" usually gets spoken as "saw (usual pronunciation of saw with no r) rah", so him saying sawr was wrong and nobody would say that, but rah is where the r would appear.
Yeah we don't drink warm beer lol. Trouble is, in the supermarkets they don't alway sell them cold. But in a bar, they sell the best beers ice cold. Especially in the expensive chain bars like Pitcher & Piano.
Americans don't like the taste of beer so they almost freeze it so it no lunch nher taste like beer, the British like the taste of beer and the warmer beer is the more taste it has. Each type of beer needs to be kept at a particular temperature to retain maximum flavour, the US haven't figured that out yet.
From my experience people from England 🏴, Scotland 🏴 & Wales 🏴 will often say they are British, However they often often say they are from UK.
"On Tap" beer/Lager, like massed produced lagers and bitters are served cold (typically 3-5 Degrees C) as its an automated process that chills the beer/lager as it comes through the pipes, this is what "Americans" are used to drinking... Hand Drawn/Pump beers/ales, are hand drawn, exchanging air in traditional hand drawn, or CO2 (through an attachment) in more modern hand drawn pumps into the barrel as the liquid is drawn out, the beer/lager is stored at "Cellar" temperatures which typically are between 10-13 degrees C... Serving "Room" temperature beers/lagers allows the full flavours and aroma's of the liquid to be fully expressed, drinking real ales/lagers is more about savouring the taste rather than having a refreshing cold drink.
The king does have power but openly exercising it would cause constitutional problems. So the situation is usually that the government doesn’t put the monarchy in an awkward position and the monarch doesn’t interfere (at least openly) with the running of the country.
Tyler he is wrong about the beer, hope you read this i know you dont respond. no its not warm beer, or room temperature, we have been drinking beer for centuries, there were no cold chillers back in the day. beer was stoored in the cellar, usual at a similar temp through out the year. late in time chillers for beer, was brought in as a thing, but, many beers have stayed the same These are normally locally brewed ales, in a keg or casket, and cranked to the glass from the keg. The thing with real ale, which you will know as warm beer, has a short life span, the keg is opened, gas let off, and ale can be pumped or cranked as you see, at cellar temp, , this keg now only has a 4 week life span, from opening at its best, to 4 weeks later, have lost the edge but still good Now, if you chill ale, like your cold beer, it tones the flavour down and is lost, through cooling down through refrigeration. if you want to know the difference, drink standard guiness, at cellar temp, and then drink, what is the extra cold guiness two different tastes, i will be honest i find standard guiness, bit to much, i like the extra cold toned down, by the chilling method
The beer thing is simple really. Up until probably the late 70s/early 80s the most popular drinks in UK pubs were ales & bitters. It was only after this that lagers started to displace them & eventually take over in terms of popularity. Both ales & bitters need to be served at cellar temperature in order to preserve their flavour, lagers need to be chilled. Basically this is just another example of something that used to be true being assumed not to have changed when in fact it changed a long time ago. Personally I started my drinking "career" with ales & bitters, like most men of my age. I then changed slowly to lager through my 20s (with the occasional detour through brown ale) Nowadays I prefer cider for refreshment & whiskey or bourbon to savour slowly. Red wine with a nice meal. Life is a process ! 😀
I'll add a little bit of Dutch in the mix, about when he was talking about sport vs sports. In Dutch the plural of sport is sporten. When we say we love "sport", it means we like watching it. But when we say we love "sporten", that means we like doing it ourselves.
The adding an r sound is not a British thing but a English thing, it's not done in Scotland. In terms of U.K and British United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the name of our country where as British is our Nationality.
Pudding isn’t synonymous with dessert. It’s synonymous with *sweet* desserts, i.e. not a cheeseboard. So if you were to go for a 2-3 course meal you may be asked whether you want pudding or cheese for dessert; whereas 4 or more courses will (almost always) include pudding and then cheese.

Its been really interesting watching your videos and learning alot about the different way in which we use words and phrases. Ive found whenever ive been in america on holiday the american people are very welcoming of us british people. I hope to be back to disneyworld next year😊
It’s the same reason as why white wine is served chilled and red wine is not. White wine has “off” flavours which are suppressed by chilling. Same goes for lager/Pilsner beers. Ales are traditionally served at cellar temperature.
Also, lager is usually "dead", which is why it's served from a keg using carbon dioxide. Ale is alive (the fermentation process has not completely finished (which keeps the beer in good condition) and served from a cask or barrel.
I think warm beer dates from American servicemen in World War II. As you say, American beer is always served chilled. In the UK, lagers are served chilled but there is variation in other beers, such as bitters and ales. Some are served cellar cooled, which is cooler than room temp but not by much, and others can be served at room temperature. Back in WWII, lager wasn't served in pubs in the UK, so all beer would be warmer than Americans were expecting.
16:03 - 'UK people' say "British" in much the same way that 'USA people' say "American". It's just a matter of habit and convenience, despite Britain and America referring to different geographical concepts.
He’s got the whole beer thing wrong. When people say our beer is warm they’re referring to ale which is served at room temperature. What Americans call beer we call lager which is served cold
even more precise - its hand pumped ale that's generally "warm".
Ale is also served at room temperature because there's a lot of complex flavours that would be lost at colder temperatures. (Colder things have less taste.) You can have a wide range of hop, barley flavours as well as chocolatey, coffee-ish, fruity, buttery, nutty flavours that different ale's can have depending on the brewers intention. A lot more variety.
The is comparison to lagers which are cold refreshing drinks but mostly taste the same.
Anything by him is normally bollocks
sorry my comment should have been a response to yours
Kegged ie served by gas, beer/lager is chilled. Live Casked Ale is physically pumped out and served at the cellar temp (often slightly lower than room temp).

We might ask our mother/wife 'what's for pudding?'. The answer could be jam Roly Poly, apple pie, fruit cocktail, ice cream etc.
I was very confused about this. I thought pudding a specific type of dessert, with some sort of cake. So glad to have that cleared up. We Irish do have black and white pudding which is delicious, imo. Clonakilty pudding is probably the best.
11:09 a lot of American attitudes to food of the British Isles date to world war 2 and US GIs coming over, hating the food and telling everyone all about it at length on their return home. Never mind that refrigerators and freezers were expensive and rare. Never mind that we were at war and food rationing was a thing. In reality things have moved on considerably since then.
Just to make things more confusing, Pudding *is* just another word for dessert, *but* there's a lot of other things we refer to as pudding as well, such as Yorkshire pudding, which is basically pancake mixture baked in the oven in a tiny bit of hot fat, and served with a main meal, usually roast beef, but it goes well with any roast. It's up to you how you have it. We also have meat puddings, like steak and kidney pudding. These are sponges made from suet and steamed. We also have black pudding, which is made from pigs blood and cereal and I'm not sure what else.
Anything else you might have for dessert can be referred to as pudding. For instance ice cream, a fruit salad, Rice Pudding, a flan etc.
Sorry but when Americans say Math my head spins 😂😂
It's very weird.
Pudding is, to many of us, a generic term for dessert. For example "Mum, what's for pudding?" Additionally, actual pudding can be sweet or savoury and encompasses everything from black pudding to treacle pudding.
Except 'Yorkshire Pudding' is normally eaten as part of a full Sunday roast dinner with Beef, potatoes, veg and gravy on the same plate.

PUDDING, I think the origin is anything boiled, wrapped in a cloth or skin, from a time before ovens. Which can be sweet or savoury.
It's originally from the French word 'boudin', meaning sausage. But it evolved, to cover the way of cooking, as you say.
@@wessexdruid7598interesting.
Before refrigeration everyone was drinking warm beer, well it would be kept in a cellar but it would still be just about room temperature
The "warm beer", It refers to proper ale (cask ale), not lager which Americans might refer to as beer, for example Bud or Coors. Just like the rest of the world this is drank ice cold out the fridge, have a bbq and a cold "beer" goes down a treat. if its cask ale, it isn't ice cold, but certainly isn't "warm". They are and should be served at cellar temperature and not artificially cooled. Because its not ice cold, it created the myth/stereotype that we drink warm beer. The same myth about Brits having bad teeth, when infact we have some of the best in the world (at one point we held top spot). Americans are known for having more dental cosmetic work than any other country, but tooth decay in American children is off the chats.
Yep and Tap al;e tends to be served warmer than lager, all be it not room temperatrure.
" but tooth decay in America is off the charts" Yes that is true! You can tell that by the fact that the modern tooth brush was invented in Kentucky, otherwise it would have been known as a 'teethbrush'!
This is more historical , when casks may be in a cellar, or even behind the bar, and served at cellar or room temperature. Only likely at beer festivals these days.
I remember a pub in Derby that stacked the casks behind the bar, in the Nouthies!
On my last visit back to the UK, there was a cask of real ale sitting on the bar. It was a warm day ( I am reminded of an old Daily Mirror headline, 'Britain sizzles in the 70s) I tried it. it was bloody 'orrible!
@@brentwoodbay🤣🤣🤣 this is definitely my best comment!
Ale in the UK must be stored in a cellar at around 54 degrees Fahrenheit (old imperial units for context, and because that was how I learned it 30 years ago). Warmer than that and the beer spoils. Colder than that and you lose flavour, which is the point of drinking ale.
As a brewer with no cellar I served at room tempreture summer or winter and no one ever refused a pint based on tempreture. You may be right that cooler extends the life as mine lasted about 21 days with out bottleing in the original barrel.
lol, when you said... mathematics, you used the plural! Maths is the shortening of the word mathematics.
The beer question is simple we drink cold lager which you Americans drink but call beer, which came from German immigrants, where here in Britain beer used to mean bitters and mild beers which traditionally served at room temperature, so we say Lagers and beers
Most people don't know UK is actually a corporation. England is a country in Britain!
Puddings are basically any item, that *is or traditionally was* cooked by steam. Christmas Pudding, Steak& Kidney Pudding (ie) Suet Pudding and Black Pudding etc... etc...

As a previous comment state, Beer is a collective noun for the various types of beer. Ale (a type of beer) is drunk at room temperature so regardless of the availability of a refrigerator, it should be stored at room temperature. Lager (another type of beer) is drunk chilled and so it is either stored in a refrigerator or passed through a chilling system as it is pumped into the glass. Ale is a traditional British beer whilst Lager is an imported format/recipe even if it is manufactured in the U.K. these days.
American beers are mostly if not exclusively of the same format as Lager.
Stout is another form of beer. Originally served at room temperature, it is most often served chilled these days. Examples are Guinness and Beamish (Irish origin) and Mackeson (English origin).
A "British" person is someone from the UK, just like an "American" is someone from the US. We don't have a better demonym for someone with UK nationality. ("British" also extends to people outside the UK like the Isle of Man and Channel Islands if we're being technical.)
The term "British" is controversial within Northern Ireland. There's some parts that are adamant they are British and NI is fully part of the UK. Whereas other parts are adamant they are Irish and live in occupied territory. To solve this someone born in Northern Ireland is able to choose to have British, Irish or both citizenships.
I visited The Epcot Center as a teenager, where they had an 'authentic' English pub, serving 'authentic' English ales. They had beer warmers! Like those electric element thingies you stand in a cup of soup. They were literally heating up beer and serving it and lots of Americans were lining up to try it the 'British way'. How wrong can they be? I had never seen or heard of anything so ridiculous in my life. I think it's something that was initially misunderstood from old times when hundreds of years ago, the ales served in pubs were only as cold as the cellar they were stored in, but no beer is ever served warm.
Not true, some types of beer are served warm,as well as some types of wine and mead, larger however has to be cold otherwise is just nasty 🤢

Fun facts: The majority of people don't know that the British Isles consists of OVER 6,000 islands (an 'isle' is considered an area larger than 1 hectare of land; about the size of an International Rugby pitch). Also, although the hectare is a non-SI unit, it is the ONLY one accepted as a measurement for use with SI units. Many of these islands disappear under water in a 24 hour period due to falling & rising tides around the UK. Great Britain is the largest island, Ireland the 2nd largest and then Scotland's 'Lewis & Harris' is the 3rd largest (which is just one island of the Outer Hebrides, but having two named parts). Also included in the British Isles are the Channel Islands off Northern France (although they are geographically NOT part of the British archipelago). Officially (and not counting sign language), the BI's have over 13 languages I.e. English, Manx, Welsh, French etc. 😊

PS, the Monarch is the UK (and others of his realms) is best described as having extensive constitutional powers, none of which (or very few of which) he exercises. He delegates almost all of these powers to the government. The value of this is that the monarch legally has those powers which he could exercise as a last resort, such as the Prime Minister refusing to call an election after five years, or trying to call out the military to make himself a dictator.
Simplified
The king has the legal authority and duty to protect the people from the folly of politicians and parliament
Parliament, which has executive power, through the Prime Minister, has the task of protecting the people from the King's follies
***
Generally, the King/Queen stays out of politics, and is the ultimate authority and diplomat in the service of the monarchy
***
Formally, he is also the supreme judge, but I believe that no one in the UK has the desire or will to seek a trial before the King/Queen, because then no "laws" or "procedures" apply, then you are at the mercy of the King and there is no appeal against the verdict
That power of the crown also extends to the Commonwealth Realm like Canada. A few recent examples. In our province BC, we had an election where it was very close. Our premier, kind of like a provincial Prime Minister, went to the Province's Lieutenant Governor (pronounced lefttenant here!) and asked if the election could be held again, to avoid a minority government. The LG is the crown's representative in the province. She had the power to decline, which she did!
Another more recent example was where the Governor General, the Crown's rep for all of Canada, was causing all kinds of trouble in her office. The PM, Justin Trudeau did try to put things right, but it just got worse. It was then 'strongly suggested' that she retire. She initially refused. It was at this point that it was realised , that the PM could NOT fire her, only the Queen could! Before this happened, she did quit!
Nope a body called the Privy Council would make the decision, the Privy Council is a body of senior current and former MP'S and

We do talk about the sciences in Britain.
The beer thing: Pubs serve beer from casks (historically, wooden barrels) stored in the cellar - generally colder than the public bar area. So it would not be warm, but should be a few degrees cooler than room temperature. In contrast, America can generally get much hotter than Britain, so air conditioning is standard and widespread - and drinks are generally cold, as cold as you can get them. For instance, the burger chain A&W don't just cool their signature root beer in the fridge, they also store their glass mugs in the freezer, so it stays colder for longer after it is served.
In contrast I used to regularly drive past a home-made sign at the side of the road advertising the local pub. It was in southern England in an area with lots of visiting Americans. It advertised the pub with "warm beer, lousy food".
I think the American person was referring to ale which is served at room temperature
In the UK beer is never served warm, it is either sold at room temperature or cellar temperature.
The reason for this is because beer is a living entity because beer contains living yeast. When you chill beer you kill the beer. We like our beer natural and unfiltered and without chemicals.
In the states they chill beer and add a small amount of poison to kill the yeast, the beer is then filtered.
Who wants to drink chemically altered beer?
Americans, because they literally consume poison exclusively.
My opinion is that was a great reply. As a former brewer reading your reply I agreed but formed the question about what then is the difference with larger (USA Beer). But dead yeast or inactive answered that for me. It maybe also explains why so many places in England advertise some beers as filtered. TY
'Mathematics' has its final 's' because it derives from the Classical Greek word mathematikos (transcribed from the Greek alphabet.) As educated people were writing in Latin and Greek it was quite natural to retain the 's' although treating the word as a singular. As to beer, English beer is served at very slightly below roomtemperature as this is the temperature at whch is most flavoursome. American (and German) beers have very little taste at room or fridge temperature. Think of win. Red is usually served at room temperature and white chilled. (Although I know some Americans serve red wines chilled - there is clearly no accounting for taste or the lack of it!)🙂
The warm beer thing is about cask ales which are quite unique to uk pubs and always served unchilled.
The "r" thing is most definitely an English thing. As a Scot I have never added and "r" on any words.
Pudding ermmm - pudding is all the things that the video explained, but also in UK there is a suet pudding that is a suet pastry case with a (usually) meat (usually beef) and gravy mixture put in a bowl with a top on (usually cotton or greaseproof paper tied with string around the bowl) and steamed in a pan of boiling water for a couple of hours until cooked. It tastes goooood! But is obviously savoury, so we can have pudding as a main and pudding as a dessert! (Also in Yorkshire, Yorkshire pudding is traditionally served as a starter, although not many people outside Yorkshire even know this little fact).
His voice didn't change much when he coppied him 🤣
The 'warm beer' the Americans moan about comes from WW2 when we generally did not have fridges. It came out of the beer cellar, which was cooler than room temperature. It was necessary as our beer, not lager types, needed to be kept at.

"Pudding" describes any desert that served after a main course.
Deserts not served after a main course will just be called their product name (cheesecake, etc) or collective name (such as ice-cream, etc).

The putting of an 'R' in between certain phrases is a real thing, one that I did not notice until a Syrian friend I made a a festival in the Czech Republic asked me about it and I suddenly realised it was true!
Is it not to do with the different sounds of 'A'. Some can sound like AE (Aie) whilst others sound like 'a' (aa. as in words such as bar, Ma, Car, far, ga, ha, jar, la, Ma, nah, Pa, rah, ta, and yah. Some artists may use 'r' but they are artists using rhyming as a device. In the JL words 'I saw r film today oh boy. He is rhyming the 'r' with the end of the next line '........'had just won the war'. It is a common enough poetical device. So I think it is not proper English as in PR English but is artistic (Artistic Licence) as well as west country corruption dialect Au Arrrrrrrr! Arrrrrr me hearties. Arrrrrr Jim lad.
The r at the end of a word is specific to parts of England not Britain in general. In Scotland no r is added.
Somewhere Rover the rainbow is my fave adding of an R between words.🌈

He's talking out of his arse..the question refers to UK cask beers Lawrence is comparing keg beers, both served the same in the UK & US. Cask beer is a whole different story, needs looking after in the cask, served warmer than keg beer so has a vastly different flavour profile. Far too complicated for you Tyler.
I agree with this. The clarification that needed to be made here was what type of Beer. In the USA the dominant form of beer, drunk in most placed, is a pale lager. Those are usually served cold in both countries. The thing is (pulling numbers out of my arse), when 90% of the beer in the USA is a cold lager vs 50% of the beer in the UK, then it seems like more beer is cold in the USA. No, the UK just has a culture of drinking more pulled keg beers and ale, which taste better warmer.

Kind of the same as pudding, I find the use of “tea” meaning just any meal eaten during the evening quite funny. Like “ we’re having hamburgers for tea tonight”. 😎
Pudding as a term for the entire dessert course: this is both regional and class based. Formal occasions and fancy restaurants and posh people and quite a lot of Southerners would refer to it as the dessert course rather than pudding. Informally, among working-class people and in the North, pudding very much is still used. Of course it's also used to refer to specific dishes, not all of which are desserts.
Pudding can also be a general term for any pie made with an enclosure of suet rather than pastry, again not all being desserts.
May I correct you. Upper class people refer to the sweet course as Pudding. They do not say Dessert.
Dark beer and porters are made to be warm or room temperature. Larger beer is made to be chilled. Would you drink a cold drink in the snow? So on the Pennines it is normal for some traditional beer drinkers.
Room temp is cellar temp 55, real ale pubs serve it at 55. Im from 30 years in pub trade. We actually like our lager and cider much cooler and is therefore chilled with equipment. The reason is that real ale is served at cellar temp is why their is this mis-understanding. Dessert is an adopted French word, and the olde English word pudding is an old Viking word for a honeyed bread. The reigning Monarch can hang government in national emergency and form anew only under certain conditions though.
Pudding is also from a French word - boudin. It means sausage, i.e. meat cooked in a case.

You would take your beer back in a pub if it was served at room temperature, let alone warm. Cellar temperatures, where the beer is stored and pumped from, are kept at 12 degrees centigrade. The beer lines to the pumps pass through a chiller, called a remote. Lager is chilled more than keg beer.
Keg beer is served ice cold and cask is cellar temperature

I'm British, and you're right, we say we're British more than UK, that's probably just because there isn't a word for "UK resident". What are we going to say, "I'm UKish", "I'm a UKaian"?
Secondly, he's right about British people loving to moan but it goes beyond that. We UKians love the underdog. We feel most comfortable and at home when we see people being humble and failing, a LOT. We mostly don't like people who succeed or do well, because we generally do not do well. The best we hope for is to survive, to get through it, to endure what ever shit is raining down on us. American's though (I understand) like to believe that they will succeed, they will do fantastic, they will achieve the (American) dream. That just makes us mad, especially if they actually are doing well. More than that you believe in your country, think it is great. We love our country also, or at least we love our own little slice of it, but thats for our innermost thoughts and for when others attack it, but most of the time, we like to put it down ourselves and moan about how rubbish it is.
Also, lager is drunk chilled and bitter is drunk at room temperature (although that might more accurately be from the cool beer cellar).

It's true that the royal family in the UK is mostly ceremonial in nature but the king is still regarded as head of state and nothing happens without his approval.

The debate between "math" and "maths" often centers around regional differences, with "math" being used in the United States and "maths" in the United Kingdom and other English-speaking countries. However, the reasoning behind the use of "maths" goes beyond the idea of it being a plural form.
A more accurate explanation lies in the etymology and the way the term is used. "Maths" is short for "mathematics," which is derived from the Greek word "mathematika," meaning "things related to learning." The word "mathematics" is treated as a singular noun despite ending in "s," and in British English, it's common to abbreviate it as "maths" to reflect its full form.
The British preference for "maths" also aligns with how they abbreviate other subjects or terms that end in "ics," such as "physics" becoming "phys" or "economics" becoming "econ." In contrast, American English tends to prefer simpler, shorter abbreviations, leading to the use of "math" instead.
Thus, the choice of "maths" is not because it is plural, but rather as a reflection of its full form "mathematics" and the linguistic convention in British English.
Mathematick as the sunject predated mathematics.
During a language reform in the 17th century we changed to mathematics to fit the naming of other fields of study(physics for example).
Before the change "math" was used almost exclusively.
During the change "maths" was often used to differentiate the language that'd be used(so "math" was old terminology, "maths" was new terminology), but people tended to use what they grew up with.
When the settlements in the new world(america) wrote books they didn't need the separation of terms, they split off after the terminology changes, but before the new generation grew up with the new books, so they used a mix of the two(old and new).
Maths wasn't meant to be plural, it was meant as a shorthand to differentiate the old Latin heavy word based approach from a more modern approach(so no more talk of "a unit length", we just write 1, it's not "a right angled triangles third side may be expressed as the positive of the square root of the squared unit lengths of the sides touching the right angle sumated" we just say "a² + b² = c²").
English, not British English.
@@John-jw8rx all English language comes from the British language original,
@@chriscollins550 There is no "British" language
@@John-jw8rx yes there is, and it's written down I the history book's, try again.
On the "beer" question, Beer as its known in the USA is called Lager in the UK and its always served cold. Beer would usually refer more to real ale over here, or i think Americans call it craft beer, this can be served at a higher temp, though its very rarely as high as room temp, its cool but not ice cold.
"British" is a nationality. "Britain" (Great Britain to be proper -- more on that below) is a geographical location. "British" is a collective nationality ascribed to English, Scottish, Welsh and members of the Unionist communities in Northern Ireland (who consider themselves to be British). However, the Nationalist communities in Northern Ireland consider themselves to be Irish as a nationality and would, on the whole, be quite offended if they were referred to as British -- like calling a Scottish person English). Together, the geographical locations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern make up the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" -- this is not a geographical location, but a political and constitutional entity.
"Great Britain" comes from the French region "Bretagne" or "Brittany" in English. At the time of the French invasion of England in 1066, the French speaking invaders, led by William the Conqueror, referred to their conquested land as "Grande Bretagne" (they still do) or "Greater Brittany" in English -- which evolved into "Great Britain".
Last note -- the "British Isles" includes the whole island of Ireland as well as the main land and surrounding islands, but that is a carry over from the past when Ireland was entirely ruled by the British and so in this exception, the "British" in "British Isles" does not refer to a nationality, but to a geographical location.
'British' as a nationality also includes citizens from British Overseas Territories (such as Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, Ascension Island, Tristan da Cunha, Pitcairn Islands etc.).
@@Langstrath Yes, that is correct -- my explanation was in the context of British, Britain and how it relates to the the UK and why people who come under the auspices of the UK tend to describe themselves as British and not from the UK, which is a political construct -- because of the nuances. The overseas territories are neither part of the UK, or the geographical locations Britain or the British Isles. Whilst they remain British overseas territories, the residents have the right to call themselves British as a nationality (just like the Unionists in Northern Ireland even though Northern Ireland is not part of Britain). However, if any of those territories were to break away or gain full independence, "British" would no longer apply -- just like if Scotland were to gain independence. If Scotland were to be independent, it would still be part of the British Isles, but not Britain. Its people would be Scottish as a nationality, but not be part of the UK.
Can you name a source in Norman French which uses that term "Grande Bretagne"? Why would the Normans even care about the name of the island when Angleterre was their concern, not Britain?
Greek literature was calling the island "Great Britain" 1000 years before the Normans and several hundred years before the name "Brittany" had been coined in France. At best, the Normans would have been using an existing term.
I believe that before larger became popular, beer was served warm. But the adoption of larger lead to chilling beer.
I think the thing you are missing about people saying they are British is, whilst Northern Ireland is not in Great Britain those living their are British citizens, which is why they would/might say they are British. Hope that helps
The beer thing started in WWII. G.Is were used to lager which is chilled. We drank ales, stouts and bitters which weren't cooled. Beer came over 10000 years before cooling .
Most Brits wouldn't say the r in words like saw.
Correct, "saw a" usually gets spoken as "saw (usual pronunciation of saw with no r) rah", so him saying sawr was wrong and nobody would say that, but rah is where the r would appear.
Yeah we don't drink warm beer lol. Trouble is, in the supermarkets they don't alway sell them cold. But in a bar, they sell the best beers ice cold. Especially in the expensive chain bars like Pitcher & Piano.
Americans don't like the taste of beer so they almost freeze it so it no lunch nher taste like beer, the British like the taste of beer and the warmer beer is the more taste it has. Each type of beer needs to be kept at a particular temperature to retain maximum flavour, the US haven't figured that out yet.
The Brits hate Yanks because they don't drink tea - we remember Boston! :)
They do. It's just cold 😂🤮
From my experience people from England 🏴, Scotland 🏴 & Wales 🏴 will often say they are British, However they often often say they are from UK.
I guess saying "I'm British" is easier than saying "I'm from the UK"
I say I'm British because I'm irish welsh on my mothers side and anglo Scott on my father's,... So I'm British or as i like to say, anglo celt.
I always say I’m English or European ( that’s a bit more troublesome nowadays)
No I say I'm from Wales because.....I'm from Wales.
I say I'm Welsh because if I said "British" people assume English.
"On Tap" beer/Lager, like massed produced lagers and bitters are served cold (typically 3-5 Degrees C) as its an automated process that chills the beer/lager as it comes through the pipes, this is what "Americans" are used to drinking...
Hand Drawn/Pump beers/ales, are hand drawn, exchanging air in traditional hand drawn, or CO2 (through an attachment) in more modern hand drawn pumps into the barrel as the liquid is drawn out, the beer/lager is stored at "Cellar" temperatures which typically are between 10-13 degrees C...
Serving "Room" temperature beers/lagers allows the full flavours and aroma's of the liquid to be fully expressed, drinking real ales/lagers is more about savouring the taste rather than having a refreshing cold drink.
Of course the English have the correct spelling etc, they created the language..LOL
The king does have power but openly exercising it would cause constitutional problems.
So the situation is usually that the government doesn’t put the monarchy in an awkward position and the monarch doesn’t interfere (at least openly) with the running of the country.
Tyler he is wrong about the beer, hope you read this i know you dont respond.
no its not warm beer, or room temperature, we have been drinking beer for centuries, there were no cold chillers back in the day. beer was stoored in the cellar, usual at a similar temp through out the year.
late in time chillers for beer, was brought in as a thing, but, many beers have stayed the same
These are normally locally brewed ales, in a keg or casket, and cranked to the glass from the keg.
The thing with real ale, which you will know as warm beer, has a short life span, the keg is opened, gas let off, and ale can be pumped or cranked as you see, at cellar temp, , this keg now only has a 4 week life span, from opening at its best, to 4 weeks later, have lost the edge but still good
Now, if you chill ale, like your cold beer, it tones the flavour down and is lost, through cooling down through refrigeration.
if you want to know the difference, drink standard guiness, at cellar temp, and then drink, what is the extra cold guiness
two different tastes, i will be honest i find standard guiness, bit to much, i like the extra cold toned down, by the chilling method
The beer thing is simple really. Up until probably the late 70s/early 80s the most popular drinks in UK pubs were ales & bitters. It was only after this that lagers started to displace them & eventually take over in terms of popularity. Both ales & bitters need to be served at cellar temperature in order to preserve their flavour, lagers need to be chilled. Basically this is just another example of something that used to be true being assumed not to have changed when in fact it changed a long time ago. Personally I started my drinking "career" with ales & bitters, like most men of my age.
I then changed slowly to lager through my 20s (with the occasional detour through brown ale) Nowadays I prefer cider for refreshment & whiskey or bourbon to savour slowly. Red wine with a nice meal. Life is a process ! 😀
The lager or blonde beer is run through a cooling system.
The ale isn't. It's served at the cellar temperature, the cellar is also chilled.
I'll add a little bit of Dutch in the mix, about when he was talking about sport vs sports.
In Dutch the plural of sport is sporten. When we say we love "sport", it means we like watching it. But when we say we love "sporten", that means we like doing it ourselves.
The adding an r sound is not a British thing but a English thing, it's not done in Scotland.
In terms of U.K and British United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the name of our country where as British is our Nationality.
Pudding isn’t synonymous with dessert. It’s synonymous with *sweet* desserts, i.e. not a cheeseboard. So if you were to go for a 2-3 course meal you may be asked whether you want pudding or cheese for dessert; whereas 4 or more courses will (almost always) include pudding and then cheese.
Did you notice the R in arse. lol
As in Lawrence is an arse 😂
Hi tyler, ive just discovered your channel and i really love watching it. I live in the uk but im kind of obsessed with american culture. Im lucky that ive visited america 5 times, mostly disneyworld but also los angeles, new york and miami. Have you any plans to visit the uk? Its been really interesting watching your videos and learning alot about the different way in which we use words and phrases. Ive found whenever ive been in america on holiday the american people are very welcoming of us british people. I hope to be back to disneyworld next year😊
It’s the same reason as why white wine is served chilled and red wine is not. White wine has “off” flavours which are suppressed by chilling. Same goes for lager/Pilsner beers. Ales are traditionally served at cellar temperature.
Also, lager is usually "dead", which is why it's served from a keg using carbon dioxide. Ale is alive (the fermentation process has not completely finished (which keeps the beer in good condition) and served from a cask or barrel.
I think warm beer dates from American servicemen in World War II. As you say, American beer is always served chilled. In the UK, lagers are served chilled but there is variation in other beers, such as bitters and ales. Some are served cellar cooled, which is cooler than room temp but not by much, and others can be served at room temperature. Back in WWII, lager wasn't served in pubs in the UK, so all beer would be warmer than Americans were expecting.
16:03 - 'UK people' say "British" in much the same way that 'USA people' say "American". It's just a matter of habit and convenience, despite Britain and America referring to different geographical concepts.
