keg

A keg is a metal container used to store and dispense quantities of beverages like beer, soda, or other drinks. Typically made of stainless steel, it maintains the beverage's freshness and carbonation under pressure. Kegs come in various sizes, with the most common being the half-barrel (15.5 gallons). They are used in bars, restaurants, and events to serve large amounts efficiently. A tap or nozzle attached to the keg allows controlled pouring, keeping the drink sealed from air to preserve quality. Overall, kegs are a practical means of storing and dispensing beverages in commercial or large-scale settings.
