Canned draught beers

Nah, figure some lawyer would defend that when you pop the top, you genuinely feel a small "draft" if the beer is sufficiently cooled. At least that's what I would argue, but I'm not a lawyer, so.....

 

No need to sue. No false advertising involved with Miller Genuine Draft. Its allowed under Federal Regulations given certain conditions are met. See the link below for further details.

Before this erupts and derails into false CAMRA platforming - nitro is a tradeoff. Muted flavors and aroma for a creamy smooth mouthfeel NOT attainable in cans or bottle through other means

 

draught does not mean unpasteurized

 

If its canned or bottled, draught on the label or in the name does mean unpasturized.

See the link above to the explanation.

 

How does everyone pronounce "draught"?

 

It's pronounced "draft". Think of the word "laughter". Same thing with "draught".

 

Brewing Process

​

Murray explained that the recipe for Guinness has undergone only minor adjustments over the years. Every keg of Guinness Draught imported to the US comes from St. James’s Gate in Dublin (though Guinness Extra Stout is made in Canada). It contains water, malt, roasted barley, hops and yeast - and that’s it. Like many major labels, Guinness relies on “high-gravity brewing,” which involves large batches of wort (unfermented beer) high in fermentable sugars (note to beer geeks: the goal is a 1072 gravity). Eventually these are watered down to attain a 4.2 percent ABV (alcohol by volume). The brewers also blend batches to aid in consistency, and the beer is pasteurized.

 

"Druft." Kidding. "Draft." However, it's one of those funky words in English. I recall taking a literary analysis class in which that word was used repeatedly in a Moby Dick passage. I wasn't quite smart enough to catch on, and because I thought it was pronounced "dr(AW)t" I completely missed the "accepted" interpretation of the passage.

 

And there is a difference between US regulations governing Draught on canned/bottled beer and on kegged beer, which is what this description talks about.

Did you take a look at the contents of the link I posted? The case of kegged beer is covered there by the person making the post.

 

that's the most intelligent thing I've read on BA for awhile. I always thought draft but want to pronounce it differently when I read it. Now the "Draft" really makes sense.

 

I did, but I also found many sites pointing to the 14.9 oz Guiness Draught can as being pasteurized. I'll concede happily.

 

Well then we need to invite @jesskidden to comment on what appears to be an exception to his post. Could be the material he cited does not apply to beers brewed outside of the US or that there's been a regulation change since his post.

 

It mentions "bottles" not cans. Not sure if that is the loop

""The words 'keg' or 'draught' may be used as part of the designation of class and type for domestic products of the Brewing Industry in bottles, which are unpasteurized and which otherwise conform to the trade understanding of draught products."

 

"Draught" simply means the beer has been drawn from the bulk.It does not mean anything regarding brewing processes.

 

You're thinking in terms of logic. We're discussing an aspect of American administrative law. Totally different.

I thought Guinness cans still had the widget?

P.S. this is a silly question but how exactly is a beer pasteurized? When it's boiled? If so, how is it possible for a beer not to be pasteurized?

 

The boiling process takes part before fermentation. It's wort, not beer, which is boiled.Once fermented, infections and spoilage are possible so some brewers pasteurise the beer.
