    Belgian beers always taste better from a bottle IMO. Tap doesn't have that same magic.

    If bars actually clean their tap lines weekly then I would love draft beer so much.

    I don't trust bars though so I feel a bottles beer is the most accurate representation of what the brewer wanted to make.

    Zombie Dust, not sure the reason but may be that the draft I've had wasn't as fresh, though I doubt the bars are sitting on ZD kegs.

    Funny, I was just talking about this the other day...

    I almost always like IPAs on tap more than out of the bottle, but I liked all three of Noble's Showers releases (Citra, Nelson, and Amarillo) from the bottle more so than on tap. They seemed sweeter and maybe just a little boozier on tap.

    Someone mentioned Enjoy By earlier, but the last few batches have been more oniony from the bottle than on tap (IMO). Just sayin'.

    Any Belgian, mainly because I like to control my own temperature and pour.

    Amstel, Bud, and Miller. Most microbrews taste best on tap, IMO (as long as the lines are clean).

    Oh wait, I love any cheap lager out of the bottle when on vacation in the tropic zone (i.e. Red Stripe, Beerlao, Bintang, Imperial, etc.).

    For some reason Stone IPA is better in the bottle than on tap ...

    As my post above indicates, I can't think of any beers I prefer in bottles/cans. I am curious as to why you think 60 min, Boston Lager and Torpedo are better in the bottle? What did you experience with those beers when you had them on draft/in bottle. Could you explain your answer a bit, as I am genuinely intrigued.

    I'd rather have year-old Yeti from a bottle than fresh draft, I discovered recently.

    Bourbon County Stout and Black Note on draft always seem much thinner and with sharper alcohol burn than from the bottle. Ill take the bottle.

    I thought that 60 Minute was better out of the bottle than on tap.
