â¢ Lagers, which are fermented at lower temperatures to begin with, can generally be served at a refrigerator temperature of about 40Â° or below. Light beers, pilsners, and some wheat beers can also be served at this temperature. â¢ Ales like IPAs, ambers, and browns do better if served slightly warmer, at 45Â° - 55Â°.
âFor safety, the USDA recommends cooking lamb patties and ground lamb mixtures such as meat loaf to a safe minimum internal temperature of 160 Â°F as measured on a food thermometer. However, whole muscle meats such as roasts, steaks, and chops may be cooked to 145 Â°F (medium rare), 160 Â°F (medium), or 170 Â°F (well done). For approximate cooking times for use in meal planning, see the following chart compiled from various resources. Times are based on lamb at refrigerator temperature (40 Â°F).
