The price of a keg of beer can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the size of the keg, the brand and type of beer, and where you purchase it. The most common keg size in the United States of America is the half-barrel keg, which holds 15.5 gallons or approximately 165 twelve-ounce servings.

When purchasing a craft beer keg of 6 liters in our website, expect to pay more—often between £30 and £50 or more, depending on the brewery and the beer’s ingredients, style, and alcohol content. Specialty or imported beers in half-barrel kegs can be pricier.

Smaller kegs are as well available and come at lower prices. A quarter-barrel keg (7.75 gallons) might cost around $60 to $100 for domestic beers. A sixth-barrel keg (5.16 gallons), popular in home kegerators, may range from $70 to $120. Cornelius kegs, frequently used by homebrewers and holding about 5 gallons, vary in price depending on whether you're filling them yourself or purchasing them pre-filled.

In Europe, where kegs are usually sold in liters, prices also vary depending on the beer and country, but a standard 50L keg can cost anywhere from €100 to €200.

Additionally, most keg retailers demand a deposit, often between $30 and $100, which is refunded when the empty keg is returned. Therefore, when budgeting for a keg of beer, it’s important to factor in both the base price and combined costs like deposits and equipment rentals.
