    As from recently there are a couple of places in the UK where you can have a Duvel on tap. Can anyone help me find Duvel glasses that say DRAUGHT or DRAFT on them?
    Cheers

    Duvel is a bottled beer so I'm not sure why anyone would want such a thing, unless to advertise they've been taken for a mug by Duvel Moortgat's marketing team.

    This is what the official website of Duvel says:
    Because of the beer’s complex (re)fermentation process and high carbon dioxide content, until recently, enjoying a Duvel on tap seemed to be an impossible dream. Yet, many countries are unfamiliar with the ‘pouring culture’ and international customers prefer to have beers served on tap instead of by the bottle. With this in mind, at Duvel Moortgat Brewery, they began working on developing a new system that would allow the Duvel to referment in the keg and also to maintain the carbonation level and the alcohol percentage of 8.5%.

    After two years of research, Duvel Moortgat Brewery successfully designed a tap system that met all the requirements to serve a Duvel on tap that’s just like one from the bottle. Including the Duvel tornado, the iconic visual expression of the beer’s high carbonation level. Every new keg of Duvel comes with special tubing that is installed between the tap and the keg. The taps themselves have also been adapted and the tubing is considerably narrower in diameter, enabling a fresh glass of Duvel is to be served on tap complete with its characteristic head of foam. At 4°C, a Duvel on tap is slightly colder than one from the bottle, but unlike other specialty beers served on tap, it retains its authentic, hoppy flavour without loss of quality.

    From now onwards, you'll be able to taste the first Duvel On Tap in the UK on the following locations:

    Draft House Old Street
    Mews Unit - 211 Old St - London EC1V 9NR

    Canalhouse
    48-52 Canal St - Nottingham NG1 7EH

    BottleShop: Bermondsey
    128 Druid St - London SE1 2HH
