Do you let bottles from the fridge warm up?

During the summer I keep many of the beers in bottles that I drink in my fridge in the kitchen (spring, autumn, winter beer is in the garage and drunk straight from there)
But I like to have the bottle out of the fridge for 15-20 minutes just to take off the super coldness of the fridge temp. I find more of the aromas and flavours come out.
Anyone else do this or do you just chug a bottle straight from the fridge?

Somewhat depends on the style as to the temp I like to drink them at.

But I always drink pale lagers and malt liquor ice cold.

Depends on the beer. If its an IPA I have 6 of I’m less worried. If its a stout I’m excited to try, I usually drink it slowly so it warms and I can taste the subtleties.

I used to be one of those annoying asshats that worries about these type of things, but lately I take it out of the fridge and drink. At very best I take a beer out a few minutes in advance. If I’m worried about a rating, I won’t rate the beer until I’m halfway or more done with the glass. But usually it’s:

fridge, boost, chill

In that order.

Nah, but there are certain styles I don’t care about getting to a so chill temp before drinking. If I bring home a stout or something of the Belgiumed variety that I just bought off a (non-cooler) shelf and really want to drink it, it’s not gonna sit in the fridge too long.

Shit, I did in fact leave off that very important detail!

I usually microwave them to the proper temp

I plan ahead. Pull out the next beer I am going to drink when I pop the current one.

Living in Texas, they generally have no choice but to warm up once being removed and do not have to ask to be allowed.
