I have a question about beer.

A couple of days ago I was out in a bar and asked what draft/draught beer they served. Cambodia draft was the answer so I ordered one whilst I waited for them to make my cocktail - because I’m fancy sometimes.

She gave me a bottle of Cambodia (green I think) with ‘draft’ printed on the label. Which obvs wasn’t what I was expecting, I drank it anyway and sat wondering. ‘What exactly is a draft/draught beer?’. I have always thought it was beer pulled from a pump as opposed to bottles or cans. And as I wondered I recalled that Guinness draught is sold in cans also…

So what exactly is draft/draught beer?

I would agree with Wikipedia on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draught_beer

No such thing as draft beer in can/bottle … gotta be from a tap … #tapthekeg

Wiki suggests that that using the word draught with bottles/cans is an Asian thing.
Hope it doesn’t catch on
