Draft is a serve. Craft is marketing. Neither is a TTB class. Draft means keg service, not a beer type. Craft is a trade word, not 27 CFR Part 7 identity. Count the ABV on the tap list. Official Bud Light this project: 4.2% / 110 cal / 12 oz. Typical lager lots sit near 5%, menu. A 12-ounce 5% pour is one NIAAA drink; 4.2% is about 0.84. Under 0.5% cannot say beer (7.145).
