Where there’s a fun party, there ought to be some beer flowing - and what can be better than a good old keg to keep your beer cool and fresh?

Welcome to BeverageCraft - your online keg store dedicated to all things beer and offering quality beer keg supplies, where you can find a perfect keg for your party needs. For those of you who are still new to the concept of a beer keg for home, it might be interesting to learn a few basics first.

What Is a Keg?

Keg definition is pretty straightforward and it goes like this: keg is essentially a pressurized container in the form of a barrel used to store, transport and serve various drinks. Technically, kegs can be used for any beverage - whether it’s alcoholic or non-alcoholic, carbonated or non-carbonated. However, they are most commonly used for beer.

Beer keg is one of the most popular methods of dispensing beer at bars, pubs, clubs, festivals, and house parties due to its simplicity and efficiency.

Needless to say, beer in kegs is rather different to cask ale or bottled beer since it has to be pasteurized or filtered to make sure there are no more active ingredients left in them, which prolongs the shelf-life of the beer and ensures the same quality and taste across the board.

Beer Keg Sizes

Kegs come in different sizes and volumes, most of which have been established historically depending on the type of beverage.

Despite the fact that many people refer to a keg as a unit of measure, it isn’t. Keg sizes are not standardized, and they can come in a variety of shapes and forms. The volume, however, remains more or less constant.

Currently, most beer kegs are available in the following volumes:

  • ½ barrel aka “half-barrel” (15.5 gallons/58.67 liters)
  • ¼ barrel aka “quarter-barrel” aka “Pony Keg” (7.75 gallons/29.34 liters)
  • ⅙ barrel (5.17 gallons/19.57 liters)

However, there are plenty of other, different beer keg sizes such as:

  • Mini-keg aka “Bubba” (1.32 gallons/5 liters) - disposable kegs made of aluminum and therefore can be recycled
  • ⅛ barrel (3.875 gallons/14.67 liters)
  • European half-barrel (6.6 gallons/25 liters)
  • European standard barrel aka “Import keg” (13.2 gallons/50 liters)

In addition to the standard sizes, we have import kegs available on our website.

Types of Kegs

Depending on the type of beverage, there can be:

  • Craft beer keg
  • Home beer keg
  • Wine keg
  • Kombucha keg
  • Soda keg
  • Whiskey keg
  • Cider keg

Depending on the type of intended use:

  • Jockey box kegs
  • Kegerator kegs
  • Kegs for weddings (festivals, etc.)
  • Pub keg
  • Home brew keg

Depending on the size/volume - see the ones we’ve listed above. In addition to beer kegs, there’s also a so-called Cornelius keg (aka “soda keg”) previously used mostly for storing and dispensing soft drinks. Nowadays, Cornelius kegs are gaining more popularity among homebrewed beer enthusiasts - check them out here.
