How many pints are in a 1/2 keg?

To determine how many pints are in a 1/2 keg, it's important to understand the standard volume that a keg holds. A standard 1/2 barrel keg, often referred to simply as a "half keg," has a capacity of 15.5 gallons.

To convert gallons to pints, we can use the following conversions:

1 gallon equals 8 pints. Therefore, to find the number of pints in a 1/2 keg, you multiply the number of gallons in the keg by the number of pints per gallon:

15.5 gallons × 8 pints/gallon = 124 pints.

This calculation confirms that a 1/2 keg contains 124 pints. Understanding these conversions is essential for anyone involved in the beverage industry, as it allows for accurate planning and inventory management for beer service and events.
