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.
The main differences between ale and lager production are in temperature and type of yeast used. Lager is fermented at a lower temperature than ale and uses a bottom fermenting yeast whereas ale uses a top fermenting yeast.
How to pour the perfect Guinness Black and Tan... These are the directions for pouring from a tap, either at a pub or on a kegerator. 1. Hold your pint glass at an angle, and fill just over halfway with Bass Ale*. 2. Slow the flow control of the Draught Guinness tap down to a trickle. 3a. Fill to the top, letting the Draught Guinness hit the side of the glass... ~OR~ 3b. Pour Draught Guinness over an upside-down spoon to dispense the flow. 4. Let surge and settle.

Pilsner is a variety of lager. Other varieties include bock, dunkel, and Oktoberfest/Maerzen. Lagers are made using bottom fermenting yeast at relatively cool temperatures over relatively long periods of time, while ales are made using top fermenting yeast at warmer temperatures over less time.

An Irish lager is a beer
Lager
Lager is a type of beer that has been fermented using yeast that prefers a cooler temperature than ale yeast. It is made of the same ingredients as beer, namely barley, water, hops, and yeast. The only difference between Lager and Ale is the type of yeast used and the temperatures that it is fermented at. Lagers are a "bottom fermenting" beer that prefers cooler temperatures. Ales are "top fermenting" beers that prefer warmer temperatures.
