How long will a keg stay fresh?
How Long Does a Keg Stay Fresh? – For most beers on tap, dispensed with CO2, the rule of thumb is that non-pasteurized beer will retain its freshness for 45-60 days, if proper pressure and temperature are maintained. If you are serving up pasteurized draft beer, the shelf life is around 90-120 days.
- If you have just gotten an air pumped party keg, you should consume the beer within 8-12 hours if you want to enjoy it at peak freshness.
- You will find that most breweries now print a freshness date on the keg for your convenience.
- Be sure to read the labeling carefully, as some breweries print this as an expiration date, while others opt for a “born on” date.
These dates have the days it is in inventory at the brewery figured into the equation and generally print the date on the side of the keg or on the cap.

This is especially true for craft beers because different styles of beer last longer than others. A good rule of thumb is that the shelf life for a keg of pasteurized beer is about 90-120 days (or 3-4 months), and unpasteurized draft beer will last about 45-60 days (or 6-8 weeks) when stored at the proper temperature.
- Many imported and domestic beers are pasteurized.
- If you’re unsure whether or not your beer has been pasteurized, treat it like it is unpasteurized.
- An important thing to remember is that countdown starts the day your keg is filled at the brewery, not when you tap it or buy it.
- One of the first things you should do when you pick up a keg is to check the label to see if it has a “born on” date or expiration date.
If the beer in your keg is passed its expiration date, then we wouldn’t recommend drinking it.

UK and Irish keg supply structure – The beer vessel supply structure in the UK and Ireland is quite different, whilst the couplers for kegs have been largely standardised to sankey, grundy and interbrew, a couple of others exist such as UEC and U-Type, however these are much less common.
- The kegs themselves are made from stainless steel or aluminium.
- The standard keg size is 11 imperial gallons (50 litres/88 imperial pints) and the vast majority of keg beers are supplied in this keg size.
- There are also smaller 30 litre (≈52.7926 imperial pints) kegs usually reserved for more specialist and premium European beers.
A number of manufacturers also produce 18 imperial gallon (81.82 litres/144 imperial pints) and 22 imperial gallon (100 litres/176 imperial pints) kegs, however owing to their size they are not as popular, as manual handling is seen by some to be difficult, and as a result they tend to be used only for large-scale events and bars with high output.
