How long does a keg of beer last?
The shelf life of a keg of beer can vary depending on several factors, including the type of beer and how it is stored. In general, an unopened keg of beer can last for several months if kept refrigerated. Once a keg is tapped, it is best to consume the beer within a few weeks to ensure optimal freshness and taste.
For the best beer...
To prevent foamy beer, keep keg stored at fridge temperature for at least 12 hours before tapping.
It's normal for hazy beer to contain some sediment. Agitate keg by tilting it a few times before tapping to reduce excess sediment in first pours.
