The 2nd and 3rd are okay as amended.

I see that Rover has posted a different opinion, so I'll add that my answer is based on what one usually hears in NY.

Would all three be okay in England?

I thought it was okay too, because in my mind, I'm thinking - draft beer, so why not draft Heineken, draft bud light, etc..

There are some brands of beer (in the US) that offer "draft"-style beer in cans and/or bottles. Similar to Bud Lite or Busch Ice, you'll also find Miller Genuine Draft and Michelob Golden Draft (for example) available in bottles. To avoid confusion, if you're curious as to what selections are available on tap in a US bar, ask "What do you have on tap?" or "What do you have on draft?". If you're looking for a specific brand, you'd ask "Do you have Coors Lite on tap?" or "Do you have Coors lite on draft?" :cheers:

Yes.

No bartender in the UK would find any of those odd.

Sure, but then again they serve beer at room temperature in the UK, don't they? That's like painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. :crazyeye:

Draught beer is served at cellar temperature in the UK. Bottled beer is served chilled.

I don't like "on draft." "On tap" is what I would ask, like "what do you have on tap?" I might ask what kind of draft beers you have. But not "on draft."

The biggest mistake here is confusing Coor's Light with actual beer. As they say, it's like making love in a canoe.

In BrE, it would be "on draught" (note the BrE spelling too). We would all understand "on tap" though.

With all due respect sir, I've had bottled beer in the UK, and their version of "chilled" is not the water-droplets-running-down-the-bottle ice cold refreshing beer to which US palates are accustomed. :-D

Word.

There is American "cold" and then there is "cold" as understood by the rest of the world.

The old joke is:

Q: Why do the British drink warm beer?

A: Because Lucas makes their refrigerators.

I don't get that at all! Is it a pun on "Lucas" and "Luke" (lukewarm)?

I found this, ems.

Lucas seems to be the butt of countless dodgy electrical appliance jokes.

We have strayed too far from the original question.
