Beer questions

1) How many pint size glasses of beer are in a keg (i.e. half barrel)?

2) How much does a keg of Guiness cost these days? How about Blue Moon?

 

I'm assuming someone out there works for a distributor or owns/works at a bar.

Going back to my beer delivery days, there are about 212-6 12oz glasses of beer in a keg. That is why alot of bars push tap beer. They can charge $1.50-$2.00 a glass which would get you alittle over $300 a barrel, with an just barrels only costing the bar $45-50. On the other side wholesale cases of beer are only about $5 less then what you pay for them at the store. Basically a bar makes about $20-25 off of a case of beer.

I bought a keg of Guinness a few years ago and paid between $125-150 for it. On top of that was a rental fee (nominal) and a huge deposit for the nitro system to pour the keg. This was maybe 5 or six years ago.
