How to Pour a Mini Keg

When you don't want to spend the money on a standard-sized keg, or if you won't be able to drink the beer before it goes bad, mini kegs are a practical alternative. A few brands offer their beers in small kegs, which don't require a tap or any of the equipment needed for a full-sized keg. For those who prefer the taste of draft beer over bottled or canned, you can enjoy it without having to purchase a large keg with all of the extra equipment.

• 1

  Place your glass underneath the spout of the mini keg. Hold the glass at an angle almost perpendicular to the keg.

• 2

  Lift the lever on top of the mini keg. Beer should start flowing out of the spout and into the angled glass.

• 3

  Start to tilt the glass downward so that the bottom is parallel with the floor as the glass fills up with beer.

• 4

  Push the lever back to stop the beer from flowing when the glass is full.
