Hot Beer for in flight service
I think maybe the "First World Problem Complainer" gods are punishing me for other posts, but at the risk of that being the case.....
....has anyone else noticed that the beer served on the flights has been warmer than normal? Yes, I get that it is summer, and I of course know it isn't the fault of the FAs (as they are playing the cards dealt), but I've had to return beers on my last few legs. And note, I'm not a beer snob. I love a great IPA or Sour, but Miller Lite ("no cup please") is my go-to/volume beer. And I cry when beer is wasted, but I just can't seem to stomach it when it has been skunked and is hot. Last night I felt so bad for the FA, as she came back to apologize and said "I tried to chill your glass!" She apologized again when I deplaned!

Agreed. I've petitioned the Mods for a more prominent posting, and I've submitted multiple complaints to DL (online, Twitter and via USPS - certified). I'm also reaching out to some other people I know who drink beer in the hopes that someone is more successful than me (like corporate) in the off chance that one of them works for (or can call) MillerCoors. I'd like to think that they too would be horrified at how their product is being mishandled and will join with me in rectifying this travesty.
