All about beer
Beer ball . Another type of mini keg is the ” beer ball ” or the ” party ball “, a disposable plastic ball that usually holds around 5.2 US gallons (20 l), roughly the equivalent of 55 twelve-ounce beers , though they can also be found in a smaller 3.8-US-gallon (14 l) size.
A Party Ball ® or beer ball is a spherical container that is used instead of a traditional beer keg. Beer kegs are used to store and dispense beer .

Here’s the bottom line: drinking a ten – year – old beer is certainly safe . You won’t get sick from drinking old beer , nor will you suffer any major side effects (aside from a foul taste in your mouth and drunkenness).
Look along the seam for the year on most Schlitz cans . Tax Statements: Look and see if there is a tax statement on the can , along the lines of “Internal Revenue Tax Paid” or “Withdrawn Free of Internal Revenue Tax” if so, then the can dates before March 1950. Before that date brewers had to include a tax statement.
“ Born on dates ” are the less common marking you’ll find on some bottles indicating when the beer was bottled. They were first introduced by Anheuser-Busch in the 1990’s as part of a marketing campaign, but in practice they also let the retailer know when beer should be taken off the shelf.
