Important investigative journalism — going to a day game at Yankee Stadium and checking the temperature of the beer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Armed with a thermometer and a fistful of twenties, the Daily News found that beer at yesterday’s afternoon game was as warm as 60 degrees — closer to room temperature than freezing.<\/p>\n

“The guy only makes it down a couple of rows before they get warm on a 90-degree day,” complained Scott Fried, 33, of Long Island.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t much better Tuesday night when the temperatures dipped into the 60s.<\/p>\n

“It’s warm. $8.75 for a beer, it should at least be cold,” said Bob Henderson, 44, of Clinton, N.J., holding a bottle of Miller Lite.<\/p>\n

Vendors blame balky coolers in the bowels of the Stadium for the perennial problem, and say they don’t like hawking lukewarm beer to customers.<\/p>\n

For a while, they were dumping ice in their bins to keep the bottles cold — until management banned it Sunday, apparently so customers wouldn’t be splashed with melting ice water.<\/p>\n

One longtime vendor gave The News a copy of his flyer that says “any vendor that is found with ICE in their bin is subject to disciplinary action.”<\/p>\n

“I just don’t like selling warm beer,” he said. “Sometimes I’ll come in and they’ll tell me, don’t work behind home plate, the beer there isn’t right today.”<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

The News’ two-day survey found numerous examples of beer being served at 50-plus degrees — way too warm, according to Miller and Anheuser-Busch, which says beer served over 45 degrees “quickly loses its zest.”<\/p>\n

“The recommended serving temperature for Miller Lite is around 36 degrees,” said Miller spokesman Pete Marino.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
