Keg FAQ

  • We do not directly deliver or ship kegs, but you can contact Big Cat Messenger service, (not affiliated with The Beer Junction,) for local delivery.

  • Yes, we can rent a party pump tap to you, either with a keg or on its own.

  • Yes! If your keg warms up, your beer will pour foamy. We recommend keeping your keg refrigerated as long as possible before your event.

    During your event, we recommend keeping your keg in a bucket of ice to keep it cold, especially during the summer.

    We rent ice buckets for your convenience, but we do not sell ice.

  • It depends on how you store the keg and the method used to dispense the beer.

    If using a party pump tap, (the most common way to dispense beer at a party), the beer should be consumed the same day. This style of tap injects oxygen into the keg to dispense the beer which causes the flavor to change faster than if it were on tap with CO2.

    If you store the keg under CO2 pressure and refrigeration, (i.e. using a kegerator system), the beer should stay fresh for around 2 months, depending on the style.

  • As a general rule of thumb, it takes about ½ lb of CO2 to dispense a ¼ barrel keg of draft beer and 1 lb of CO2 to dispense a ½ barrel keg of draft beer.

    We don't rent or sell CO2 tanks, but Central Welding Supply in Sodo and Sound Homebrew in Georgetown do.

  • The vast majority of American kegs use the standard US Sankey tap (aka "D Coupler"). If you are purchasing an imported beer you should check which coupler style is used.

    We will supply you with the proper party pump tap when renting a keg and tap through us, but if you are purchasing a keg for your kegerator you will need to provide your own coupler as we do not rent these.

    You can check out KegWorks to find and order the proper coupler.
