The history and evolution of keg beer

Keg beer has a long and interesting history, dating back to the 16th century when wooden barrels were used to transport and store beer. In the 19th century, metal kegs were introduced and became the industry standard for storing and distributing draft beer. Today, keg beer is a popular choice for bars and restaurants, offering a convenient and cost-effective way to serve a variety of beers on tap.

One of the main benefits of keg beer is its environmental impact. Kegs are reusable, meaning they can be refilled and used again and again, reducing the amount of waste produced by disposable bottles and cans. Additionally, kegs take up less space and are easier to transport, making them a more efficient choice for beer distributors.
