Technically speaking, draught beer is beer served from the cask in
     which it has been conditioned. It has been applied, loosely, to any
     beer served from a large container. More recently, it has been used
     as a promotional term for canned or bottled beer to try to convince
     us that the beer inside tastes like it came from a cask. See also
     "Real Ale".
