I was reading a Spenser novel by Robert B. Parker; Hush Money. In the novel, the hero and his friend are in a Boston bar, and have requested a re-fill of the beer on tap at the bar–in other words, it’s draft , not from a bottle or can. Here’s the passage in question:

We emptied the bowl of cashews, and the bartender came over and filled it and drew us two more beers. Way upscale.

Aside from the fact that I’m very interested in locating a Boston bar that serves cashews (!), I’m curious about the use of “drew” for refilling the beer from the tap.

Have you heard or read, “drew?” or have you heard “pulled” or something else for draft (draught ) beer?
