Why Does Draft Beer Taste Way Better? #BEER201
Introduction
When it comes to beer, there's something undeniably special about a freshly poured draft. It's not just an old saying - there's science behind it. Draft beer offers a flavor experience that bottles and cans simply can't match. Let's delve into why this is the case.
Freshness Matters
Draft beer is renowned for its superior freshness. Brewed and stored under controlled conditions, it undergoes minimal exposure to light and air. This ensures that the flavor profile remains intact, making keg-served beer consistently superior to bottled alternatives. With Pubinno's Smart Tap, you can monitor the freshness of your kegs in real-time, ensuring your customers always enjoy beer at its best.
Temperature and Pressure: The Perfect Duo
Maintaining precise temperature and pressure levels is crucial in serving draft beer. Too high, and you get excessive foam; too low, and the beer lacks effervescence. Pubinno’s Smart Tap ensures optimal conditions, guaranteeing your customers always enjoy beer at its freshest and finest quality with every single pour by alerting bartenders when the temperature of the beer is too high and optimising it.
Light: A Potential Spoiler
Light exposure is a nemesis for beer. It can lead to that unpleasant "skunky" taste, particularly in bottles with lighter hues. Unlike bottled beer, which is at risk during transport, draft beer is stored in an environment that shields it from damaging UV rays.
Pasteurisation: A Flavor Game-Changer
Draft beer is typically not pasteurized, preserving its true taste. Pasteurization, a process involving high heat, is used to extend the shelf life of bottled beer. This alters the flavor, making draft beer the purer choice.
Pubinno's Smart Tap ensures that you serve beer as it was meant to be, fresh and perfect thanks to its imbeded technology which control all of the factors making of the perfect beer and even giving alerts to bar tenders and bar owners when the quality of the beer is low, if the temperature is too high or even if the keg has been opened for too long.

Pouring Technique: A Finer Touch
The way beer is poured matters. Draft beer undergoes a unique pouring process, allowing for a mellower taste compared to the brisk pour of bottled varieties. This results in a more refined and flavorful drinking experience. The Smart Tap regulates the flow of beer with unparalleled accuracy, achieving the perfect pint with every pour.

Draft beer's superiority arises from a combination of factors: its unparalleled freshness, precise temperature and pressure control, protection from light, and an unaltered flavor profile. This makes it the preferred choice for true beer lovers.
