The subtle back up vocals are a real asset to this pleasant tune.

Saw Ray Davis perform last week. Came away slightly disappointed, musically he was as great as ever, vocally he seemed challenged. Can't really knock anyone who wrote so many timeless songs

Yes, it seems like some of my favorites are not able to keep those vocal talents as they age...sad but true

For me, it depends on the season and the kind of beer. A good cold hefeweizen hits the spot on a beastly hot day. A slightly warmed malty porter or stout works on a winter evening. I like warm IPAs—don't like all that bitterness when it first comes out of the bottle.

You're right about the mass-market beers, although my dear departed grandmother preferred that cheap lagerish swill (the cheaper the better) when eating pizza. Amazing what people will subject their tastebuds and liver to, just because it's heavily advertised.

Cost is generally the motivating factor in buying cheaper beers - not advertising. Expensive beers are no more beneficial to one's liver than cheap beers. Great song.

I'm one of those "beer snobs" in a way and Hannio's right. Of course, I'm an Americanized beer snob, so I'm used to cold beer too. Of course, I do let the beer sit and breathe a little before consumption. That lets some of the CO2 escape and gives the beer time to warm a little, or at least for the cold edge to dull.

The cold dulls the taste of the beer, that is why most people drink it room temp. I'm not so hardcore that I prefer warm beer, but I wouldn't turn one down because it was warm. Unless it is one of those dull beers (Bud brands, Miller, PBR, and most of what is stocked at your average gas station), I won't drink one of those cold.

It's ironic that people say warm beer tastes nasty but will drink that swill.


I play sports as an excuse to drink beer. Usually don't taste the first one.

Saw the kinks a long while ago at the LA Amphitheatre. Ray keep holding a hienken bottle with his teeth and tip it up and draining it. It was a great show

In the summertime when the skeeters are dive bombing and the cold beer is warm and fat black flies whilst the sound of chain saws and other machinery of mass destruction obscure a lovely shade drenched afternoon............ahhhhh!

Always was and will be one of my favorite Kinks songs . A BIG, FAT 10...


It's a fave, alright. Not a 10, mind you, but a fave nonetheless.

Gotta love 'drunkin-ness and cruelty' the way Ray slurs it out.

I think it's that one line that moves it from a 9 to a 10 for me.
