How much beer do you need to entertain a room full of friends and family? How many kegs would you need to throw your next get-together or party? While the answer to these questions relies on many different factors, the short answer is…it depends.

How big is the keg?

This week, I discuss how to determine the number of beer kegs you will need to throw your next party or get-together. I explain why kegs come in various shapes and sizes and discuss some of the key factors you need to consider when determining how many kegs to purchase to entertain your guests. I discuss the difference between a pin-lock keg versus a ball-lock keg and how a Cornelius Keg is significantly larger than a Mini Keg. I also break down the math to help you determine how many glasses or cans of beer you can expect from each keg size and share some of the best practices for storing your kegs leading up to your big event.
