Would British Beer taste any different if it was drawn by an electric pump or hand pump?
Theory or/& practice.
Excludes temperature control. This gives drawn beer from a cooled cellar an advantage over gravity beers.
Answers:
its not about the way its pulled its about the way its conditioned and looked after in the cellar.
most men of the older generation would say that beer tastes best drawn from a hand pump.
It does taste different, I prefer it from a hand pump.
how shouyld i know try both at the same time and compare them
hand pump is best because there is a constant flow of ale through pipes when any is wasted it filters back into the barrel where as electric pumps just sit for however long youi use them for dont like bitter but it is the best
I would think hand would be better
It would certainly taste better if it was cold!
I seriously can't see that it would make any difference.
After the first 2 or 3 it wouldn't make a lot of difference!
definitely do not know
yes, the way a beer is pumped affects the consistency and taste of the beverage!

There are three ways of pumping up beer.
1. Lager is pressurized (not pumped) with carbon dioxide and acidity, which it has naturally since lager yeast ferments from the bottom.
2. Ale is pumped by hand not to add carbon dioxide into it since ale yeast ferments at top and carbon dioxide goes up the sky. These are usually called real ales in England
3. Guinness (and few other ales) are pressurized with nitrogen that doesn't give taste or acidity to the beer just foam and you save the pumping job.

It's actually best drawn from the wood with only gravity feed. You have to have it up on a gantry to do this. Its very common in rural SA bars, not tourist places or bars selling castle lager.
Traditional English Real Ales are brewed differently to keg beers. A Real Ale is pulled from a barrel through a beer engine with no use of pressure and a keg beer is removed from the barrel under pressure using C02. Real ales complete their fermentation in the cellar of the pub they are being served in whilst keg beers have dropped bright before delivery. You cannot swap the way you draw the pint from the barrel. Some brewers make a keg and a real ale version of the same beer such as Greene King IPA and IPA Smoothflow. They do taste different due to the C02 content. Also the taste ofreal ale can be affected when in the cellar of the pub and keg beer cannot.
