Is Beer Better On Tap?
from Beer In Front Hosted by Dave Zalatoris
Episode 323: Is Draft Beer Really Better? Does beer taste better on tap, or do we just love the experience of drinking at a brewery or neighborhood bar? This week on Beer In Front, I explore the draft-versus-can-versus-bottle debate and why freshness, storage, clean tap lines, and clean glassware can matter more than the package. From the protection cans offer to the things that can go wrong between a keg and your glass, there’s more to a great pint than the tap handle.Then I put it to the test at Sketchbook Brewing with a blind, side-by-side tasting of Orange Door, one poured from a can and one from the tap. Could I tell the difference? Also in this episode: Why draft beer isn’t automatically the freshest option. How light, heat, and oxygen affect your beer. Why pouring canned or bottled beer into a glass makes for a fairer comparison. How the atmosphere at a brewery shapes the drinking experience. In Last Call, I discuss Admiral Maltings’ closure, and why supporting local craft maltsters matters to the entire beer community. Do you prefer draft, cans, or bottles? Let me know, and follow Beer In Front for more conversations about the beer in your glass. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-in-front--5704447/support.
