Signification
Beer served at a low temperature.
Contexte culturel
The tradition of not clinking beer glasses stems from the 1849 execution of Hungarian generals. While the 150-year vow has expired, many still avoid it. Unlike Hungarians, Germans almost always clink glasses and insist on eye contact while doing so. Beer is often cheaper than water in Czechia, and 'hideg sör' (studené pivo) is a national pride, similar to Hungary. In the UK, some ales are served at 'cellar temperature' (warmer than Hungarian lagers), so 'hideg sör' specifically implies a lager.
The Accusative Shortcut
If you forget the exact vowel for the suffix, just adding a soft '-t' at the end of 'sör' will usually get you what you want.
Don't Clink!
Remember the 1849 history. If you're with older Hungarians, just raise your glass and nod.

The 'Pohár' vs 'Korsó'
Always specify the size. A 'pohár' is 0.3L, a 'korsó' is 0.5L.
