A keg and a barrel of beer primarily differ in size and usage. A keg typically holds 15.5 gallons (or half a barrel), while a standard beer barrel is 31 gallons. Kegs are commonly used for draft beer service in bars and restaurants, whereas barrels are often used for aging beer or in larger-scale brewing operations. Additionally, kegs are generally pressurized and designed for dispensing, while barrels are not.
