Whats the difference between can beer, bottle beer and draft beer?!


Question:

Whats the difference between can beer, bottle beer and draft beer?


Answers:
can and bottle are pretty much the same thing. many people feel one tastes better over the other due to the way there stores, ie the can or the bottle. i think bottles beer tastes better but maybe its in my head. draft beer is beer you get out of a keg like at a restaurant or bar. usually a little more airy and sudsy, i think it tastes a bit flat...cheaper though

The container

Can and bottle are the same, just different packaging.
Draught has a different manufacturing process

Can beer is in a can.
Bottle beer is in a bottle.
Draft beer...comes from a draught.

Draft can be watered down by the establishement your at depending on where you are. Bottle or can is just your prefrence but it's more expensive to drink from a bottle beer cost a bit more in the bottle cause glass is more expensive tha alunimun. I hear people telling me all the time that it taste diffrent in a bottle but they are full of it.

The shape that it's in before you drink it. Afterward, the shape you're in depends on how many of 'em you drink, at how short intervals.

can beer is in a can
bottled beer is in a bottle
draught or draft beer is in a barrel,keg.

Packaging and price, personally I can't tell the difference between can and bottle (there are exceptions.....).

The major "taste" difference between draft and bottle or can really depends on the establishment. Cleaner taps generally give beer a better taste. There is also the issue of whether or not the gas pressure is too high (creating more or less "suds").

I've worked in many bars and have YET to see an establishment water down beer. It just isn't practical and, in many places, may cost a business its license. Watering down booze, is far more common, but again, once a business does things like that, you will inevitably lose business, so again, really not worth it.

the taste

Draft beer and bottle beer to me, taste a little more fresh. Canned beer tastes a little more flat.

Canned beer can taste tinny because of the can. Bottled beer is the tastiest and the safest. Draft beer is good as long as the lines are clean otherwise you can get sick if the bar doesn't clean the lines very often.
