A beer keg is not a standard measure. In the US, a keg can range from 10.6 pints (a mini keg) to 124 pints (half barrel keg).
Keg beer is a term for beer which is served from a pressurised keg. Watney's (UK) started with an experimental pressurised beer Red Barrel which was served in a pressurised Keg rather than the traditional Cask (barrel) in 1936. The use expanded rapidly circa 1960
There are 165 12oz glasses of beer in a 1/2 Barrel (15.5 gallon) Keg.
In an American Keg there is 100 glasses of beer. In a European Keg there is 84 beers. Both these numbers are half barrels. in a quarter barrel there is 33.
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).
It is 16.125 inches.

If you are talking about a full size keg, then it is about 165 12oz beers, or 124 16oz beers. If you are talking about a half keg, then it is about 82 12oz beers, or 62 16oz beers. Obviously there are other sizes, but those are the main ones.
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.
