Is Draft Beer Better?

Beer is great. But is draft beer better? Today, we're going to find out!



Draft beer is made when beer is poured from a keg into a glass or mug, versus canned or bottled beer, which is packaged in a sealed container. It’s often viewed as superior to canned or bottled beer, but is draft beer better? Let's take a closer look at what draft beer is and explore whether it's really better than other types of beer.

What’s the difference between beer on tap, bottled beer, and canned beer?

Unlike bottled beer or canned beer, beer on tap is a fresh beer that’s been brewed within the last few weeks. This means that the flavors of the hops and malt are more pronounced and the beer is generally smoother.

Some people believe that bottled or canned beer is better because it’s been stored under controlled conditions. But, many times, these beers have been sitting on shelves for weeks, or even months. If you’re looking for the freshest possible beer with the most flavor, your best bet is to find a place that serves draft beer.

Which tastes better?

Which tastes better, canned beer, bottled beer, or draft beer? This is a question that has been debated by beer lovers for years. And, to be honest, there isn’t a definitive answer.

Some people believe that canned beer tastes better because it’s been protected from light and air. But the longer a beer is stored, the more the flavors start to break down and fade. Bottled beer is also exposed to light, air, and temperature changes, but it’s often packaged in a way that protects the contents. However, as with canned beer, bottled beers can sit on store shelves for quite awhile.

If you’re looking for the freshest tasting beer, draft beer has been brewed within the last few weeks. The flavors of the hops and malt are more pronounced and the beer is generally smoother.

So, which is better? It really depends on your taste preferences. If you’re looking for a smooth, flavorful beer, then draft beer is probably your best bet. But, if you don’t have access to draft beer, bottled or canned beers will always do the trick.
