The standard state is the phase you see for the substance at room temperature and pressure, #25^@ "C"#, and either #"1 atm"# or #"1 bar"#, depending on your textbook.

For methanol, it's a liquid under these conditions. Its boiling point is higher than #25^@ "C"#, and its melting point is negative.
