Just About Beer Kegs

Beer Kegs are pressurized, cylinder kegs designed specifically to contain and dispense filtered and pasteurized keg beer. They are often made of aluminum and require an additional nozzle to pump out the contents, and are often used to transport large quantities of beer because of their shape. The beer within pressurized kegs must be filtered and pasteurized to render the yeast which the beer is made from inactive. Doing so increases the shelf life of the beer without compromising the flavor.

Beer kegs are designed specifically to dispense keg beer. Not to be confused with drought beer, keg beer refers specifically to beer served under pressure. Technically, drought beer means any beer served from a larger container, which could include a beer keg or cask ale. Many people disapprove of beer kegs and all beer served from a pressurized keg, especially since the 1960's when pasteurized drought beers were replacing traditional cask beers.

Often times beer served from pressurized kegs can taste bitter and the carbonation can be low, though the quality of the kegging process has improved. Still, some people believe chemicals are used in the process, as often lead drinking large amounts of beer from a pressurized keg can lead to headaches or nausea. Despite the concerns of beer drinkers, keg beer has replaced traditional cask ale in many bars and alcohol establishments. Because of the concern of consumers, many bars offer both keg beer as well as cask ale for their drought beer selection as well as traditional bottled beer.

If searching for beer kegs online, there are many manufacturers and breweries which offer their services online. There are also many sites online designed specifically in helping consumers find the best deal on beer kegs and other beer and alcohol-related products.
