Draft Beer Or Bottled Beer? (whiskey, shelf, tastes, flavor)

[tijlover]

I won't drink Draft Beer anymore, finding it out that the taste of a Bud draft doesn't at all taste like the beer from a bottle.

How about you?

We have a kegerator and buy 2 kegs a month. It has saved us thousands of dollars in the months we've had it. We never buy anything in a bottle because we have a pool, but we do buy cans of hard seltzer if we have company coming that won't drink beer.

When I am out at a restaurant I always go for the draft beer. It always seems to be colder, and fresher than bottled. I'm not a fan of the common beers like Bud and Miller, though. I prefer a good IPA.

I prefer the draft version when it’s available.

Usually, I prefer a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on draft or a “typical” American beer such as Budweiser Light or Miller Lite.

I recently shifted my drinking to local artisan corn whiskey.

We attend charity events every month that are usually co-hosted by our local Home-brewers club. Those guys always have spare kegs that they need to have emptied before they can brew up their next batch.

Depends. I like local craft brews and my tastes really enjoy the Scottish Ales much better off draft than in a can or bottle.

Beers like Bud Light or Coors light- Don't care. They taste like garbage to me anyway you serve them up.

Draft beer usually tastes better because it is not pasteurized (therefore once a keg is opened it is good for about 30 days).

Pasteurization can affect the flavor of beer: https://beerandbrewing.com/dictionary/edvVKFchSZ/

Most canned/bottled beer is pasteurized as it increases shelf life. There are some beers (such as Miller Genuine Draft and Coors Light) that are cold filtered and therefore not pasteurized. The marketing of these products sugggests that they taste much closer to draft beer.

As always, preference is up to the individual.

Draft beer is probably healthier with more fermentation than just bottle beer that taste more like a bitter can of soda. Can beer is even worst, how can people drink that.

Draft beer is in a giant aluminum can.

Draft beer is definitely better!
