College Keg Party

Perhaps the oldest kind of college party! The College Keg Party!

For a keg party the supplies are quite simple. All you need is a keg,a pump, a tub, some disposable cups and 20-30 (or more) good friends.

To find a keg you simply need to check with your local liquour distributor, liquor store, or brewery. There are several links on the internet that will point you in the right direction. Local laws will differ depending on location so be sure to check them out to avoid any problems right from the start.

Depending on the type of beer that you ar looking for, prices range from about $50-$100 per keg. There are also different sizes available such as a quarter barrel which will serve about 80 12oz servings, a half barrel which serves about 160 12oz servings, and some top beers offer a 5 gallon party keg that holds about 50 12oz servings. Make sure to find out if all supplies are included before deciding on a price, this will make the difference between an inexpensive keg and an expensive keg. You need a tap, some co2 gas, and preferably a tub that you can fill with ice to keep the keg cold. Most distributors will include this in the price of the keg but you will need to leave a small deposit to assure that it is returned. At a college keg party you usually don't need to go all out and buy the most expensive kind, but beware that a cheap beer can ruin a good time.
