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
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.
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.
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).
Technically speaking, draught beer is beer served from the cask in which it has been conditioned. This term has been applied, loosely, to any beer served from a large container or keg. More recently, it has been used as a promotional term for canned or bottled beer, in a bid to convince consumers that the beer inside tastes like it came from a cask.
Draught beer isn't always better than bottled beer, but in many cases, this is true. If an establishment's draft lines are properly maintained (i.e., cleaned and checked daily), beer from the tap is the freshest you can get.
"Draft" or 'draught' means, simply, to draw. the word is derived from the Old English, 'draeht' which means, 'draw'. Originally, the word simply referred to the act of pulling - or drawing/dragging something. Later, it came to refer to the horses - large, solid-bodied, well-muscled, and bred for heavy work. [Note: the term draft/draught beer stems from the animals used to pull the large kegs of beer to distinguish between that 'kegged' beer as opposed to beer which was bottled and corked. The bottling process was far from precise in the early days of brewing and the beer produces and bottled was prone to leaking corks and stale flavor. Thus, people preferred "Draft beer" over bottled because the quality tended to be better.]
It is a drink. Beer.
No, the difference should be negligible to non-existent. In most breweries, they are the same beer, except that the bottled and canned beer is pasteurized, and draft beer is not.
No. Some beers and lagers (draught or bottled) are brewed for high alcohol strength, while other beers are brewed for a lower alcohol strength.

Draught beer's environmental impact can be 68% lower than bottled beer due to packaging differences.[134][135] Home brewing can reduce the environmental impact of beer via less packaging and transportation.[136] A life cycle study of one beer brand shows that the CO2 emissions from a 6-pack of micro-brew beer is about 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) -- including grain production, brewing, bottling, distribution and waste management.[137] The loss of natural habitat potential from the 6-pack of micro-brew beer is estimated to be 2.5 square meters (26 square feet).[138] Downstream emissions from distribution, retail, storage and disposal of waste can be over 45% of a bottled micro-brew beer's CO2 emissions.[137] The use of a refillable jug, reusable bottle or other reusable containers to transport draught beer from a store or a bar (where legal) can reduce the environmental impact of beer consumption (as opposed to buying pre-bottled beer).[139] The above was taken from the Wikipedia.org article on beer.
