How many cups of beer in a quarter keg?

A keg is technically any type of steel container used to serve beer from using either pressurized air for carbon dioxide. What most people think of a keg is actually a 1/2 barrel. A barrel is equal to 31 gallons (US). What most people call a keg is actually a 1/2 barrel, so 15.5 gallons. Oddly enough, what most people call a 1/4 keg is actually a 1/4 barrel, not a 1/4 of what people think of when they think of a keg (which is a 1/2 barrel). So a 1/4 keg (aka 1/4 barrel) is 7.75 gallons. There's 128oz of beer in a gallon. Assuming you want a cup of beer to be 12oz, which is what is in a bottle or can of beer, there will be 82.67 cups of beer in a 1/4 keg (aka 1/4 barrel).

What people typically call a "keg" in the US is actually a 1/2-barrel keg." A barrel of beer is 31 gallons, so a keg would have 15 1/2 US gallons of beer, or 1984 ounces. If you are using twelve ounce cups, that equals out to about 165 cups. If you are with real beer drinkers, you will want to pour a pint (16 ounces). You'll get 124 pints. If you are talking about actual 8-ounce cups, there would be 248 cups.
