Does draft beer have less alcohol than canned beer?!


Question:

Does draft beer have less alcohol than canned beer?

Does an equal amount of draft beer have less alcohol than the same brand in canned form?


Answers:
If you have the same brand in a can, and in a keg, the alcohol content will match. However, not all manufacturer's put the same kind of their brew in kegs and cans. You may see "draft" attached in the name, which technically changes the brew you are drinking, and doesn't obligate the manufacturer to use the same recipe. However, in most cases, most manufacturers won't change a thing.

Except, for the preservatives. The recipe for keg beer is slightly different then the canned version, as the keg does not need the preservatives a canned version does. Although this doesn't (supposedly) affect alcohol content, you will see a difference in taste.

Drinking is bad for you.

No, it doesn't. It comes from the same brewerey, goes through the same process, but is just put in a different container. The same amount, no matter which container you are consuming from, is going to have the same amount of alcohol.
