Buying a keg of beer is great for a party and much more economical than buying beers in bottles or cans. We all know that a keg holds a lot of beer, but exactly how much? The answer varies depending on where you live.

What Is a Keg?

A keg is a cylindrical container similar to a barrel usually made of aluminum. Keg sizes are not standardized and can vary between countries and breweries.
