Serious beer??

Question

What is the difference between draft, bottled and draft bottled. I have a physical reason to ask. I'm well aware of hops and the other ingredients but....how about fiber??

To the person I chose as the best answer. I love your comparison of bottled beer and a doornail. Sounds like you'd fit in our family.

Answer 1

as long as it's from canada I dont care.

Answer 2

Beer is usually made from wheat, barley, hops as you noted, but beers don't have much fiber. Some beers contain fruit ingredients like some of the Belgian speciality beers, they may have small amounts of fiber, but very little. Check out Realbeer.com for some great beer information.

Draft beer, comes straight from a tap or keg, bottled is that, it's bottled and sealed and I think draft bottled speaks itself. Draft beer will go bad and flat much quicker than bottled and can spoil if tapped incorrectly.

Answer 3

Bottled beer is (usually) pasteurized - which means its as dead as a doornail. Usually, better quality beers are not pasteurized and as such can still ferment in a bottle, much like wine.
Beer should be like yoghurt, a living, breathing thing, and draught beer is exactly that. It lives, and is (usually) of a better quality.
Draught beer varies in alcohol level, because it keeps fermenting, because it is still alive.
"Canned" or "bottled" Draught beers is a bit of a marketing gimmick, and I won't go for those.
As for fibre - beer is beer - and I'm no dietician, but I'd hazard a guess at saying that one wont have any more or less fibre than the other.
