1/2 keg equals about 7 cases of beer. 1/4 are half of that. Do the math.....

7 * 24 beerz = 168 in a half keg
Divided by 2 = 84 beers in a quarter keg
That seems about right.

There are around 160 beers in a keg (200 oz.) I think there are about 80
beers in quarter barrell (pony keg). Drink lots of them.

Where do you get your info.? Which size keg are you talking about. There
are different ones. From your previous posts, you are probably talking
about Mill. Best or Meister Brau or Old Milwaukee or something like that.
Approx. 1,984 ounces in one of those.
Drink to enjoy,

Holts of Manchester still use Hogsheads !
The only brewers in the UK as far as I am aware.

British barrel sizes:
For un-pressurised containers (for ales) i.e. casks:
(20floz = 1 Imperial Pint)
8 Imperial Pints = 1 Gallon
4 1/2 Gallons = 1 Pin
2 Pins = 1 Firkin (9 Gallons)
2 Firkins = 1 Kilderkin (18 Gallons)
2 Kilderkins = 1 Barrel (36 Gallons)
1 1/2 Barrels = 1 Hogshead (54 Gallons)
2 Barrels = 1 Puncheon (72 Gallons)
3 Barrels = 1 Butt (108 Gallons)
For wholesale supply of traditional ale, only pins (occasionally),
firkins, kilderkins and barrels are used. I would doubt if any UK
brewers are stil using Hogsheads!
(Scottish & Newcastle and some other brewers use 11 & 22 gallon
casks as opposed to Firkins and Kils.)
As for pressurised containers (for ersatz lagers and stouts) i.e. kegs:
Generally kegs come in 11, 22 and 36 gallon volumes.
Some brewers use 10 gallon kegs, and low-alcohol products such as
Tennents LA (<1% alc by vol) come in 30 litre kegs (approx 6.5 gal)
Hope this helps!

Holts brewery in Manchester use them. One of their pubs in
central Manchester, the łOld Monkey˛ gets through 4 a day!
thatąs 1728 pints. Is it something to do with it costing
less than a pound a pint? ;-)

my opinions are not necessarily that of my wife, I have
her permission to say so.
