Draught beer
Draught beer, also spelt draft, is beer served from a cask or keg rather than from a bottle or can. Canned draught is beer served from a pressurised container featuring a widget. Smooth flow (also known as cream flow, nitrokeg or smooth) is the name brewers give to draught beers pressurised with a partial nitrogen gas blend.
== Etymology and usage ==
Until Joseph Bramah patented the beer engine in 1785, beer was served directly from the barrel and carried to the customer. The Old English word for ''carry'' or ''pull'' was ''dragan'' which developed into a series of related words, including ''drag'', ''draw'' and ''draught''. By extension, the word for carrying or drawing a beer came to mean the serving of the beer and, in some senses, the act of drinking or a drink of beer itself, regardless of the serving method. By the time Bramah's beer pumps became popular, the use of the term ''draught'' to refer to the act of serving beer was well established and transferred easily to beer served via the hand pumps.
"Draught" is the usual spelling in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22draught%20beer%22 )〕 "Draft" is the usual spelling in North America,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22draft%20beer%22 )〕 although it may be spelt both ways in Canada, depending on the origin of the beer. "Draught" and "draft" can each be pronounced or depending on the region the speaker is from.
