How Many Beers Does A Standard Keg Hold?
BY JOHN TOLLEY
If you are wondering if your keg holds enough beer for a particularly spirited shindig or if it would have been smarter just to buy cans of beer in cases, we have the answer.
A standard keg, often referred to as a half barrel, contains 15.5 gallons of beer. Therefore, a full keg holds a whopping 1,984 ounces of liquid gold.
Since a serving of beer is typically 12 ounces, a full keg would accommodate approximately 165 cans or 124 tall boys (16 ounces).
Whether you're opting for a full keg or a half, that quantity of beer can be a commitment, but rest assured they are designed to keep the beer inside fresh for quite some time.
