How many fluid ounces are in a single beer?

Answer 1

There are many factors that need to be taken in to accurately determine how many, "Pints" or "Beers" come out of a keg.

The factors are assuming that the keg is properly chilled, the glasses are clean and are being delivered to the glass is what is known as a "direct draw system" or method, since heat is a factor and the distance the beer must travel from keg to glass greatly effect the number of beers out of the keg do to foaming. From there you will need to know what type of glass (beer mug, Shell, hour glass, Pilsner, etc.) the beer is going into, how many fluid ounces the glass is, and the size of the "head" (foam) that is put on the beer. These all affect volume.

Example: A 10 floz beer stein with a 1" head yeilds 248 beers from a 1/2 BBL Keg where a 1/2" yeilds 220 a 11.2% variance. A 14 floz., same glass and head would yield, 170 and 156, respectfully. For keg party, this is no big deal. If you are a bar or restaurant owner looking to control costs. BIG DEAL!
