Does Draught Beer Contain Formaldehyde?
I would, however, stick to bottled beer if to guarantee a healthy beer if your local bar is a bit suspect. Draught beerlines should be cleaned every 7 days. After 10 days you should see the crap that builds ups in the lines with beer basically going cloudy with a “foosty” smell evident in the glass. And an improper clean makes it very easy to get a tainted pint, either chemically or moudly. My friend used to work cleaning taps in college (it was a great job; make your own schedule — the bartender usually pours you a couple beers — gotta test the tap — sometimes you get tipped). However, he’d tell me to avoid some places because their taps were set up in such a way that the lines couldn’t be cleaned (most of the time this was because they were real long, and went out to the cellar or something). He also mentioned that occasionally there’d be big ass tapeworms that would somehow get into the taps, and just sit there, guzzling away beer until they became large enough to be discovered.
