It doesn't. The end

Generally, it's fresher.

It sure does, maybe because it's much fresher, I bet keg beer averages less than a week from filling to consumption where I bet bottled or canned beer is weeks? But I'm just guessing.
Maybe someone that works for a bottler or distributor will chime in?

With lagers it doesn't matter as much, but ales are best served fresh, especially hoppy ales.

That depends on the beer. The mass produced Buds and Millers can sit in a keg for a while, depending where they are distributed to. But the freshness of those styles doesn't really make a huge difference to begin with.
Kegs also keep light and air from tainting the beer as well. Cans and bottles aren't 100% impenetrable from air.

As someone who is very experienced in the bar industry the draft beer goes much quicker if it's not a commonly ordered beer such as bud lite.

Draft beer is 1) colder and 2) unpasteurized

False, the freshest beer you can drink is out of a can. Pour draft, bottle, and can in a pint glass and see four yourself. I worked for Budweiser for four years in marketing fwiw.

This doesn't make any sense. Is this a joke about the organic milk thread?

This is generally true. Tons of Colorado breweries have switched to cans, but light ruins net quicker than anything.
Luckily for Corona, their beer is so shitty, it doesn't matter that the glass is clear.

I have something for you to stroke...
[img]Domestic draft beer is not normally pasteurized, and so it must be stored at 38 degrees F in order to prevent secondary fermentation from occurring in the keg. Imported draft beers are usually pasteurized, and so the kegs can be stored at room temperature without negatively affecting the beer. For proper serving, and to ensure an appealing taste the imported kegs of beer must be stored and served at 38 degrees.[/img]
Try reading your own link, douchebag.
Edit: It also varies per brewery.

Imported draft beer, dipshit cunthead. That's the same as bottling it. We're talking about domestic draft beer.

For the most part, keg beer brewed and packaged in kegs in the U.S. is not pasteurized although the big three (Budweiser, Coors, Miller, plus some such as Anchor Steam) pasteurize even their keg beers.

Obviously, good beer shouldn't be pasteurized, but a lot of what you see in bars unfortunately has been.

Not sure how you can look at beer in a glass and gauge its freshness.
And I said generally. It doesn't always hold true, especially for mass produced crap like Budweiser. I actually think Bud and Miller taste awful from a keg.
But when I'm drinking an IPA, Pale Ale, Stout, etc. I much prefer draft as it tastes better to me. And generally speaking it is fresher.
