The Quarter Keg (Pony Keg) is also
used in two variations that are the
same capacity but have the slightly
larger 17" diameter.

These are the rubber sided version
(used by Miller Brewing Company)
and the bulged non-straight wall
version (used by Coors Brewing
Company).

These dimensions and weights may vary slightly as result of differences between keg manufacturers.
Availability of each size of keg will vary by brand of beer and location. You should inquire with your beer
supplier to find out which brands of draft beer are available in your area for immediate pick-up, which
ones need to be special ordered, and in which size keg those particular brands are available.

When inquiring with your local draft beer supplier, keep in mind that they usually only stock the most
popular brands of beer and keg sizes. But local draft beer suppliers usually get deliveries from the beer
distributors or breweries once per week. If the brand or keg size you are interested in is available, and if
given a few days notice, they are usually happy to add it to their next delivery.

As there are literally tens of thousands of breweries and brands of keg draft beer available, it's simply not
possible for Micro Matic to maintain a listing of the sizes of keg, or area in which, each brand of draft
beer is available.

It is very important not to kink the beer hose as it leaves the coupler, this will restrict flow and cause
foaming.
