How many pints are in a 1/6 keg?

The amount of beer in a 1/6 keg, also known as a sixtel, is important for understanding how to pour and serve beer effectively. A 1/6 keg holds approximately 5.16 gallons of beer. Since a US pint is equal to 0.125 gallons, you can calculate the number of pints by dividing the total volume of the keg by the volume of a pint.

5.16 gallons divided by 0.125 gallons per pint equals about 41.28 pints. This result rounds down to 41 standard pints, which is why the correct answer is 41 pints. Understanding these measurements is essential for anyone working with draft beer service, as it helps in managing inventory and serving sizes accurately.
