Bottles and cans have been a popular way of drinking ale for many years. Before the modern bottling process most beers were kept in casks. A wooden barrel would be filled to the brim with the brew after the distilling process was completed. A wooden wedge tap would then be hammered into the barrel and ale could then be dispensed. The down side to this was that it was always warm and pieces of the barrel would end up in the brew. This is where draft beer systems, much like those found in Huntersville, NC have changed the way draft is dispensed.
Through the use of CO2 gas a metal keg can be pressurized. This allows the user to attach a hose and due to the pressure inside the keg the liquid golden ale is pushed out. Many set- ups using this technique have only been around since the start of the twentieth century.
This allowed the attendant to attach a hose and dispense the liquid without any eternal pumps or force. The pressure from the CO2 would push the liquid out thus creating a unique way of getting the liquid out of the container. A system of having the various kegs in a separate room with copper pipes leading to the front of the pub was invented. Thus allowed the kegs to be kept cool in another room and dispensed at the tap.
Every pub has a good dispensing system. This is a traditional way for pubs and bars to dispense the alcohol. Although most pub goers now prefer the bottled and can versions of their favorite brew, the ale on tap will always be a treat. Beer lovers around the world would argue that keg brew is not a true one.
A true brew would be that which comes from a cask and is matured in the old ways of making this. There has been such a divide that true drafts have been classed as "real ales". Mass manufacturing of beers has polluted the correct names beers and drafts. Even those claiming that the content of their bottles is this sort of brew, have actually misrepresented the liquid inside.
No matter how the ale is presented a good head on a brew is the true test of what a drink like this should be. The head or foam of mass produced dissipates very quickly were as a true draft the foam will be thick and last until the very end. Mass produced beers have an advantage over their cousins, whereby various flavors can be introduced to the brew.
In recent years more exotic flavors have flooded the market. From strawberry to peach, whatever the flavor, mass produced beers will be around for a long time to come. For the true lover, flavored ale is just a gimmicky idea and an insult to a great brew.
Whether you are a traditional drinker or a bottle cap popper, ale on tap remains popular. The technologies used in dispensing alcohol on tap will never change and will keep on living on even when technology changes around it. These days' draft beer systems, like the ones put in Huntersville, NC, will always be an iconic symbol in any pub.
