Just been enjoying a few beers lately. Same beer from the bottle good, from pub A great, then again from the tap of pub B tastes more bitter, an entirely different flavour that isn’t as refreshing.
I’ve experienced this before. So what’s up? Why are two pubs pouring the exact same beer from the tap and coming out with different flavours?

One thing that can really influence the flavor of the beer is it’s temperature, everyone knows that a cold beer is way better than a warm beer.
At the pubs it could be that one has a cooler walk in fridge where the kegs are stored, or alternatively one has longer lines to get the beer from the keg in the walk in fridge to the bar, which gives the beer more time to warm up as it flows to the tap. Since bottles are usually stored in a fridge right at the bar and then given straight to you, these also typically stay pretty cold. This could possibly be your answer.
