draught beer

Beer from spigot

Draught beer is beer served from a keg or cask rather than a bottle or can, typically dispensed through a tap.

The spelling is British; Americans usually write draft beer.

Either way, draught suggests freshness and is associated with pubs and bars: I'll have whatever you have on draught.
