All about beer
Basic, domestic draft beers like Budweiser, Coors, and Miller are much cheaper than microbrews and craft beers — a keg of Budweiser is around $100, while something like Dogfish Head is twice that. But even if that keg costs you a couple hundred bucks, it’s still pretty cheap when you think about the cost per drink.
Consider that the average cost for a standard half barrel keg of Budweiser is approximately $100. A standard keg contains 15.5 gallons, or 1,984 ounces. A case of Budweiser contains twenty-four 12oz. cans (288 total ounces) and costs about $23.
Keg Sizing Information on the brewery, beers are kegged in various size containers, as follows: 1/2 barrel = 15.5 gallons = 124 pints = 165 12oz bottles – (Full Size Keg) 1/4 barrel = 7.75 gallons = 62 pints = 83 12oz bottles (Pony Keg) 1/6 barrel (20 Ltr) = 5.2 gallons = 41 pints = 55 12oz bottles (Sixtel)

Buying cases of Costco beer are less expensive on its own. However, once you take into account the other expenses and inconveniences of getting a keg (such as cups, ice, keg , and tap deposit), Costco beer may be a clear cut better choice.

Some drinks are much stronger than others, and one or two craft beers can lead to intoxication. The consequences of excessive alcohol use are potentially severe and may lead to injury and death.

At 30 pounds empty weight, a typical stainless steel keg might be worth around $24 (January 2013 scrap price for 304 stainless steel of ~ 80 cents per pound). While the price of scrap fluctuates, recent history has shown that the scrap value of a keg is easily the same or higher than a typical $20-30 deposit.
