From my very small knowledge, yes, beer was consumed at room temperature. In Germany it still is, for example. Also, beer had less alcohol and was much more like bread in that it was nutritious and filling than what we have now.

In Germany, people don't drink warm beer, if, like anywhere else, they can avoid it.
