What is the difference between draught beer and bottled beer?

Answer 1

Answer Alcholic content of draft vs ...No. Different beers have different alcholic strengths. Coors light is a low alcholic content beer, it's bottle and draft strength are the same. While a Coors (not picking on them, simply an example), may have a low strength, another may be 6,8 or even higher(reg Coors is-or was-3.2%, the Belgium beer I had yesterday is 8%). The brand's bottle and draft strength are typically the same.

I have to disagree. In some states, including Kansas(where i m from), bottling companies make different proofs of beer. For example, I go to the liqour store on Friday at 5:00. I get 6.0 beer (always BudLight), but if I want beer on Saturday after 11:00 p.m., I have to go to a convenience store and get beer that is 3.2. Some states have a certain alcohol percentage that can be sold for each product being served. That is why different beers have different alcohol contents. Luckily, KS is becoming a county choice state, so I don't have to go to Nebraska or Oklahoma to get liquored up!!!

i have to disagree with the disagreer if for no other reason than that bud light is not, never has been and never will be 6.0%abv, regardless of the state you're from. It's 4.2%. also, a states laws nor the distributor of the product determine the strength of the beer because brewers don't change there recipes to accommodate your city, county or state. for example, if bud light in your state was 6%, bottle, can or keg, it would not be bud light.

I live in Utah and the beer sold in this state outside of state run liquor stores is 3.2% which is ABSOLUTELY a different strength than most other states. It is my understanding that there are only about a half dozen states left that have this lower alcoholic content beer. FYI

Answer 2

Draft beer is much weaker in alcoholic volume then bottled beer. For example Carlsberg draft could be 2.8% vol as a botttle is 5% hence they will taste different. Usually draft beer will taste more watery. Bottled beers often include preservatives that affect the taste. There is also a larger chance that the beer has been exposed to temperature extremes that will have a negative affect on flavors.

Answer 3

No. The color of a beer come primarily from the malted grains and specialty grains being used to produce a particular style. The strength of a beer comes from the amount of fermentable material in the brew. In other words, the more malt or sugar used, the stronger the beer. Has nothing to do with the color. A very famous stout, that I won't mention by name, is often assumed to be more potent than normal grocery store beer, when, in fact, it isn't at all.

Answer 4

Draft (draught) beer is served in casks or metal kegs and where it's served will have a mechanism to add carbon dioxide or nitrogen (depending on the type of beer) where applicable, where as bottled beer is just... bottled. Some cases certain brewers will condition the beer to be suited for bottles (by keeping them a bit longer before it leaves the brewery).
