It is called a "keg"
Quote: Traditionally draught beer came from wooden barrels, also called casks. In the 1950's these began to be replaced by metal casks of stainless steel or aluminium, mainly for quality reasons as they could be sterilised and the beer was therefore less likely to spoil, but also for economic reasons. An additional benefit of the switch to metal casks was that staling from oxygen in the air could be reduced. Subsequently, in the early 1960's a form of metal cask, known as a keg was introduced which allowed for more efficient cleaning and filling in the brewery.
