I don’t think you would like mulled beer. It has been described to me as "horrible stuff" by an elderly Englishman who saw it served in country inns in England in his youth. The vessel used was of brightly polished copper, almost fumnel-shaped, so that the pointed end could be pushed down into red glowing embers. Good old English ale was heated in this with spices and ginger, to make a hot, warming drink on cold wet nights. It must be, remembered that coachmen and carters drove many miles behind horses in those days and were not sheltered as in our modern motor-vehicles. So the men were very cold and would call for hot mulled beer when they reached an inn. Mulled wine is quite nice, and young people of my acquaintance have made it for parties on cold nights. Just heat sherry in an aluminium or enamel saucepan, with spice to taste and thin slices of lemon.
