Our Story
Welcome to Draught Class!
Covid-19 closed our bar, but it didn't end our love & fervor for Craft Beer. Draught Class™ is the manifestation and refocusing of that creative energy, unrealized passion and a go at keeping actively involved with this community.
In professional sports the year athletes are drafted into the majors will always be referred to as their Draft Class. In the beer community the year you turned 21 is considered your Draught Class™.
Draught is the British spelling of the word draft.
In America it is estimated that approximately 10,000 Gen Z turn 21 everyday. That's about 9,999 other people having this communal experience. That's nearly 3 Million people just this year. It's time we seek them out and boast our pride in our Draught Class™!
Which year is your Draught Class™?
Wiki Beer History
Until Joseph Bramah patented the beer engine in 1785, beer was served directly from the barrel and carried to the customer. The Old English dragan ("carry; pull") developed into a series of related words including drag, draw, and draught. By the time Bramah's beer pumps became popular, the use of the term draught to refer to the acts of serving or drinking beer was well established and transferred easily to beer served via the hand pumps. In time, the word came to be restricted to only such beer. The usual spelling is now "draught" in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand[1] and more commonly "draft" in North America,[2] although it can be spelt either way. Regardless of spelling, the word is pronounced /drɑːft/ or /dræft/[3] depending on the region the speaker is from.
