How many beers are in a keg?
From 2L mini kegs to 50L commercial kegs — the full size guide, plus what to buy to get any of them on tap at home.
Beers per keg, by size
It depends on the keg size — anywhere from 6 stubbies in a 2L mini keg to about 150 stubbies in a full 50L commercial keg.
Double-wall kegs work like a giant thermos — fill one on your lunch break and it's still ice-cold that night, no fridge required.
