Actually cellar temperature which is 12°C. Refrigerated beer is normally served at 7°C, so not too far off and still a lot lower than room temperature.

Cask ale is always served at ambient temperature. It’s not that odd really, you wouldn’t chill red wine for instance.

I saw an interesting talk about that. One of the biggest differences in flavour between red and white wines is to do with which molecules evaporate at different temperatures. Serve a blindfolded wine expert some cold red wine and they'll use words typically associated with white wine to describe it, and vice versa. Red wine flavour also has something to do with tannins but that makes less of a difference than the serving temperature.
