Bottled beers were commonplace by the 17th century for the well off who didn't wish to drink in public inns, or who wanted to take a beer with them when fishing.
This aspect of keg design meant that all the beer in the keg was dispensed which therefore required that the beer be processed by filtration, fining or centrifuging, or some combination of these, to prevent sediment formation.
Beer casks come in a number of sizes, but by far the most common in the pub trade are those of 9 gallons (72 pints or roughly 41 litres) which is known as a Firkin and 18 gallons (144 pints or roughly 83 litres) known as a Kilderkin.

 Keg beer - Kegbeer
Keg beer is a term for beer which is served from a pressurised keg.
Keg beer is often filtered and/or pasteurized, both of which are processes that render the yeast inactive, increasing the shelf life of the product at the expense of flavor.
Kegs are artificially pressurised after fermentation with carbon dioxide or a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas.

  How to Keg your Beer
Still, it is possible to bottle from the keg using a special device called a counter pressure filler, and you can also draw a growler (glass container with a cork in it for temporary transport) if you want to take some over to a friend for dinner.
The ball type kegs seem to be more common, but it does not really matter which you use as long as the quick disconnect matches your keg type (either ball or pin).
Kegging is in many ways much simpler than bottling, and after you get over the initial sticker shock you will quickly wonder how you ever got along without a keg.

  Keg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A keg is a metal container (usually constructed of stainless steel) used to hold beer and other alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, carbonated or not carbonated, generally under pressure.
Kegs are characterized by a single (mostly two way) valve in the middle of the top which is used for cleaning, filling and tapping.
Keg games may or may not involve drinking as an integral part of the competition; games in which the keg is carried or thrown obviously require the use of an empty keg.

 ProBrewer.com: Quality Control For Keg Cleaning
Of all the refillable beer containers currently in use, the modern beer keg is certainly one of the most difficult to analyze with standard quality control methods.
Keg beer can be tasted under normal serving conditions or the beer can be abused by heating and cooling prior to tasting.
Modern beer kegs are certainly easier and safer to clean and fill than the older belly-bung kegs, but they have taken from the brewer the ability to readily inspect inside.

 Kegging Beer: The Brewers' Handbook
Kegs, another option in packaging beer, are used in bars and catering establishments where beer is served "on draught." Kegging involves filling carbonated pasteurized beer into sterile aluminum or stainless steel kegs of various sizes.
Aluminum kegs are generally more popular than stainless steel kegs because they are lighter and more resistant to minor damage.
Consequently, the shelf life for keg beer is between 1 and 3 months compared with the 2 to 4 weeks for traditional cask ale.

 Keg Beer - CAMRA
With a brewery conditioned or keg beer, the aim is to produce a product with a long shelf life which is ready to drink as soon as it leaves the brewery.
In order to make the beer lively, and also to dispense it, the beer is made fizzy with excess carbon dioxide - this gives the beer a distinctive bite.
Keg beers are generally served very cold to disguise the taste, or lack of it.

 Beer Guide: Additional Hints
Keg beer offers a fresher flavor than bottle or can beer since the keg beer hasn't been pasteurized to kill the yeast.
Keg beer must be kept constantly at about 45 degrees so the yeast won't start working again.
Beer is best served at about 45 degrees for the lighter varieties and about 50 degrees for the heavier varieties.

Kegs are available with two types of valves, ball-lock and pin-lock, which refer to the method used to couple the hose fittings to the valves.
Background: Your beer's carbonation level, known as "the condition in the beer," is determined by both the temperature and the pressure of the beverage.
Kegs that are just too ugly to use for beer, or are missing valve parts and aren't worth reconditioning, make excellent storage containers for grain and hops.

The snap of the tap top, the surge of beer and foam into the glass and the settling out of a well-formed head are music to beer lovers' ears and a masterpiece to their eyes.
The keg must be cooled to the optimum temperature, served under the correct gas mixture and pressure and dispensed through beer lines that need to be cleaned and sanitised regularly.
These days beer lines are often chilled en route from coolroom to fount and, even if you get all these factors right, bar staff still need to be trained to pour draught beer correctly.

MONTGOMERY (AP) — Keg beer parties may soon become illegal in Alabama because of problems with underage drinking, and it will be with the support of the beer industry.

The bill's sponsor, Sen. Bobby Singleton, D-Greensboro, said underage drinking of draft beer is a problem at fraternity parties, but a bigger problem is teenagers getting someone of legal age to buy a keg for them, and then using it to throw a party for other teenagers.

 What, no keg? Beer gets a makeover to fight falling sales - Jan. 20, 2006
The effort is being spearheaded by beer industry leader Anheuser-Busch (Research), said Robert Lachky, the company's executive vice president of global industry development, in an interview with CNNMoney.com Thursday.
Beer companies are expected to launch a new campaign next month that aims to overhaul the image of beer by highlighting some of the beverage's "finer" attributes.
Since beer is a less-concentrated form of alcohol, it's more appropriate for occasions other than sporting events and has "every right to be romanced as wine does," he said.
