If you don't put ice in your beer in Thailand not only will you drink it warm but they will look at you funny.

Putting ice in beer is rumored to stop the beer farts.

Put zach and David's comments together and that is life in southeast Asia with high temps and high humidity. The beer is rarely stored cold and never cold enough except at a favorite watering hole-and that is why it is a favorite. Having my favorite light beer from home showing up in more places around the city is a refreshing change. Back home, I have put ice in a beer coming in from dehydrating 100 degree temperatures in the western US, near the home of that favorite light beer, but that ice doesn't melt nearly as fast as the ice does here in Saigon.

Adding ice to beer is silly. If it's a beer worth drinking, then it would be better warm than watered down. If it's something like bud light, or miller lite, then you can do whatever you want to it since it's watery already, but you should probably just be drinking it faster.

It's very common in south eastern Asia to put ice in Lager

Don't "fruit" the beer! No ice, no fruit, just BEER!

I add ice to beer, but only when it's hot and I'm drinking outside...and it's always an already "watered-down" mass market beer ala miller lite or bud light. Usually after softball or golfing I'll order a tall glass of water and whatever is on special. pound the water and dump the ice in the beer. When it's hot out, it's a good way to stay hydrated and cool.

I usually drink my beer warm (european style), so I don't always have a cold brewski in the fridge. On a hot day, I occasionally pour my beer into a glass of crushed ice, and later chew up the beer-flavored ice. Not for the purist, I know, but it works.

We have a drink her in Athens, GA., called the "Doug". It's Tecate on ice with lime. It sounds like a perversion, but it's delicious!
I only put ice in my beer when I make a lemon beer, you take ice, a real lemon squeeze the juice and pulp into a glass of ice add beer then a teaspoon of salt. Yum Yum

I agree with pickle! I have been to a Bar in Orlando, Florida where they brought out a bucket of ice to set the pitcher in too keep it cool, but never have I added ice to my beer.

cooler full of ice and the beer inside. If you take out a beer and it gets warm before you are done, you are not drinking fast enough.

I've often had ice in a zip lock bag added to a pitcher of beer. I first encountered this at a Hooters in Texas. It seemed a good way to keep the beer in the pitcher cold without watering it down. I've since had it that way a few additional times. I've never had ice in the glass, just in a zip lock bag in the pitcher.

A couple of the better places in Florida serve a pitcher with a small zipper bag of ice. You add the ice bag AFTER pouring the first one, but on hot days we would order one each and drink straight from the pitcher.
it would be an outrage to put ice in beer. just think how much worse bud lite would be on ice, firering squad. what's next? BUD HELIUM? ach, i'm beside myself. the horror, the horror. why is mine the first comment? must breathe... where...is...beer...bong? arghhhhhhhh.......
