What is a "draught"?

A draught refers to a serving of a drink, such as beer, that is drawn directly from a cask or keg rather than being served from a bottle or can. This term is commonly used in the context of pubs, bars, and breweries, where beer is often stored and served in large containers like casks or kegs. To serve a draught beer, the bartender or server typically pulls a handle or tap to release the beer from the container and fill a glass or mug for the customer. Draught beer is appreciated for its freshness, flavor, and unique characteristics that can vary depending on factors such as the type of beer, brewing process, and serving method.
