All about beer
Keg Sizing Information on the brewery, beers are kegged in various size containers, as follows: 1/2 barrel = 15.5 gallons = 124 pints = 165 12oz bottles – (Full Size Keg) 1/4 barrel = 7.75 gallons = 62 pints = 83 12oz bottles (Pony Keg) 1/6 barrel (20 Ltr) = 5.2 gallons = 41 pints = 55 12oz bottles (Sixtel)
Consider that the average cost for a standard half barrel keg of Budweiser is approximately $100 . A standard keg contains 15.5 gallons, or 1,984 ounces. A case of Budweiser contains twenty-four 12oz. cans (288 total ounces) and costs about $23.
A SUB Keg holds two litres of beer . This corresponds to about four 50cl pints.
How Many Beers In a Keg? Using the standard keg size in the U.S., the half keg, there are 165 12 -ounce cans or bottles or 124 16-ounce pints in a full keg.

This is what most people know as “a keg,” but the half barrel name throws them off. One of these has 15.5 gallons of beer in it. That means you can get 165 12 oz. beers from it, or 124 16 oz.
A: Draft beer is definitely better than bottled, but canned can be better than draft . Light and oxygen are the enemies of beer . Draft beers usually move faster, and if you’re replacing kegs more often, that usually means fresher beer . So, in terms of quality and turnover, it’s draft , then cans, then bottles.
A quarter barrel, more commonly known as pony keg , is a beer vessel containing approximately 7.75 U.S. gallons (29.33 liters) of fluid. It is half the size of the standard beer keg and equivalent to a quarter of a barrel.
Large liquor retailers like “Liquor Barn” are going to be the most inexpensive places to buy kegs , aside from the actual brewery ( if they even sell on-site). If you can get a keg at a smaller retailer closer to you , you should consider it, though, because it will save you gas money.
However, I’ve found the kegs are invariably more expensive per beer than buying bottles or cans. For example, to rent a keg of Lagunitas from TotalWine is $220. That’s 164 12oz beers at $1.34 per serving, not including cups, ice, tap rental, etc. Totalwine sells the same beer in 12 packs for $14.

Garbage cans or plastic tubs The cheapest way to keep a keg cold is by placing it in a suitable container and covering it with ice. Place the keg in the tub, surround it with ice and then top up with cold water. You can then either connect a pressure regulator and beer lines or fit a picnic tap directly to the keg .

Summary. The number of beers needed to get drunk depends on its characteristics and your weight and body type. Some drinks are much stronger than others, and one or two craft beers can lead to intoxication. The consequences of excessive alcohol use are potentially severe and may lead to injury and death.
Designed to hold 1 mini keg (hence the name), mini kegerators are typically used in places with limited space. With a maximum capacity of 5 liters, these kegerators can be tapped 2 to 4 times. Intended for home use, full-size kegerators can fit one half-barrel (aka “full-size”) keg .
