Beer barrels awaiting delivery
Beer kegs awaiting loading onto the brewers drays for delivery throughout the UK from a large scale brewery in the south of Englang Although it is common to refer to draught beer containers of any size as barrels, in the UK this is strictly correct only if the container holds 36 imperial gallons. The terms "keg" and "cask" refer to containers of any size, the distinction being that kegs are used for beers intended to be served using external gas cylinders. Cask ales undergo part of their fermentation process in their containers, called casks. Casks are available in several sizes, and it is common to refer to "a firkin" or "a kil" (kilderkin) instead of a cask. In the United States, the term "keg" commonly means a 'half barrel' size container.
