Beer, soda, and infused beverages all have one thing in common: the draught line. The draught line is commonly overlooked as a component of the draught tap system that supplies beverages from a source, such as a keg, to a tap or faucet where we await the satisfying nectar that flows through that source.
As early as the late 1600s, draught beer has been present in restaurants, bars, and homes throughout the world. In the 1690s, John Lofting gifted the world with beer pump systems, providing everyone with a way to enjoy a good brew with ease. By the 1790s, Joseph Bramah had innovated the pump system so that barrels and kegs could remain in cellars by utilizing a vacuum-operated system with a reverse pump capable of drawing fluids over long distances without continuous pumping. By the 1930s, draught beer had swept across continents with the introduction of pressurized kegs. In the 1960s, CO₂-pressurized systems capable of delivering cleaner, more stable refreshments emerged for public use.
Common benefits of draught beer and beverages include the immediate notice of taste and the defining features that come with draught service. Temperatures are more easily regulated, as kegs remain in cool or refrigerated storage while the fluid travels from source to tap in seconds. Flavor profiles are preserved in draught beverages because pressurized containers allow transfer without degradation from air exposure during transport. With fresher flavor straight from the keg, the profiles become distinct and appreciated with each serving.
Bottles and cans may alter flavor as well, as each container introduces different exposure levels for those delightful liquids, shaping them into a unique experience based on container type. Along with flavor enhancement comes the well-appreciated head on a properly poured glass. A beloved addition to a keg-tapped draught beverage is the foamy, wonderful crown at the top of the glass. As each bubble pops, a delivery of aromatic greatness permeates the air around us, drawing flavor profiles to the surface. A draught beer—or any beverage from a tap faucet—is something special, savored for its genuine perfection.
