Why does draft beer and bottled beer taste different?

Question

I drank a draft beer and liked it, when I drank it in a bottle it did not taste the same. Anyone know why??

Answer 1

very simple.....draft beer has carbonation from the kegs. that is why draft beer rocks!!!!

Answer 2

This is actually a pretty common sentiment. I can't stand some beer bottled, but will drink it from the tap without complaint. I believe kegs and bottled beers are preserved differently similar to how bottled soda vs fountain soda are.

Answer 3

Same reason fountain soda and bottled soda taste different. Draft beer is on tap, and is effected by that process.
