A pressurised metal container used for storing beer. Because the beer is kept under pressure of carbon dioxide there is no spoilage, this also results in a beer with higher gas content than cask ale.
Spirits can also be stored and aged in kegs, as they are stainless steel and do not allow light to penetrate. Additionally, kegs are a common choice for home made stills.
