Beers You Like Better In A Bottle Than Draft

Prairie Bomb.
I've had it out of the bottle and on tap multiple times, and the peppers and coffee always seem weaker on tap.

 

100%.

 

Yazoo Sue. Have had it on tap at two different places recently and neither measured up to past bottles. Made me wonder if Yazoo just didn't care that much about this beer and was moving on.

 

As previously stated, anything Cantillon.
I've had the luxury of first trying Cantillon Classic Gueuze on tap and I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, out of the bottle it is so much better. It may be because the bottle was a year older than the keg or it was the attachment I developed with the bottled version because it took me 20 minutes to get the cork out...

Cantillon Vigneronne is the most recent one that comes to mind.

 

Thought that Cherry Rye was better in the bottle.

 

pretty much anything with bugs/wild yeast

 

any hefeweizen much better in the bottle.

 

My answer pretty much jives with the multiple folks here that have said "Belgians". I don't recall ever liking a quad more on draught than from a bottle. For me it's mostly about the carbonation- I prefer the softer, creamier, less bubbly feel I get from a bottle.

 

I thought Hopslam was better from the bottle...which really surprised me. Could have been a bad keg or older keg I suppose.

 

Weekly is near impossible. To put into perspective, the place I work has 230+ feet of lines from coupler to faucet. That equates to about 5 pints I believe. Our distributors clean our lines for us when we ask or on a monthly basis. But if they come in and the keg on tap isn't kicked yet we end up wasting that much beer which obviously isnt something we as a business like to do. I can't speak to every bar but we do all we can to make sure our lines are cleaned, especially going from a sweet beer to something else or a dark to a light beer. I would be surprised to hear of a bar that has all their lines cleaned weekly if they aren't doing it themselves.

allagash white is always better in the bottle. often too clovely on tap.

 

Most stouts/porters for me since often times when I get them on draft at a bar they come out too cold and I have to warm them up. When I get them from a bottle I can control the temp I like them at and no waiting.

 

All things being equal, nothing. Draught all the way.
