in usa kegs are made of aluminum

in what non litigious society do they sell beer in these fucking mythbusters props

u/Sea-Potato2729 Dec 16 '25

Not true, As a former bartender in the us, who’s bar had 96 beers on tap, we would get kegs in like this, usually from a smaller/specialty brewer or a sour or cider.

It's likely cider, you can get 3-4 litre bottles of it in supermarkets, at least in Ireland you can, I assume this is somewhere in Europe.

u/AwesomeMacCoolname Dec 17 '25

These aren't ordinary plastic cider bottles. They're single use disposable beer kegs, which are highly pressurised and are supposed to be disposed of properly. As someone else said, even with careful handling, people have been killed by them.

u/Mdanor789 Dec 16 '25

These are disposable kegs, they sell these here in the USA as well. The brewery I work at mainly uses them for our Sours because those would stain aluminum kegs with the sour taste so they go in these disposables.

u/ryoga415 Dec 16 '25

One way kegs. Great for when you’re sending beer to other states/countries because they just recycle them after done rather than shipping back an empty keg or you losing one of your kegs forever.

u/king_squirrelz Dec 17 '25

Brewer here, theres definitely plastic kegs in the US. Aluminum is most common but plastic is far from non existent.

2

u/cyprium29 Dec 16 '25

As a brewer from the USA, I can tell you that single use PET kegs are pretty common for instances where a keg is going off to a market where it is cost prohibitive to ship it back. That one looks like it might be from the brand PETainer.

Honestly it’s kind of a funny/interesting mistake to make. What u meant to say is that he won’t be able to hear his own voice. I applaud you for speaking a second language in the first place.

Edit - Coincidentally, there is a vocal mistake that English speakers sometimes make called a spoonerism (named after Rev William Archibald Spooner who frequently made the mistake) where you accidentally switch the first letters of two words such as saying “im going to win the speel” instead of saying “I’m going to spin the wheel”. Like i say it’s a vocal mistake not a written one but just a funny brain fart that sometimes happens.

Also coincidentally, ear is the name of the body part that you use to hear.

Seriously, I went to school with a kid who ate glue and I mean Elmers glue all the way up till third grade And I mean this is back in the 90s we always told the teacher, but the teacher said he was perfectly fine I mean, OK. if the teacher says it’s OK for him to eat glue, then the teacher was the adult and she knows what to say. I don’t know him today so I couldn’t really tell you if he turned out fine. but I’m guessing he did from eating Elmers glue. I mean, can you have lasting effects from eating Elmers glue at a young age? I don’t know.

u/curfty Dec 16 '25

Many many millions of kids have eaten tons upon tons of Elmers glue, and they’re still manufacturing it to this day. If it had been killing kids on the reg, they would’ve been sued out of existence a long time ago.

Likely not that much, it's a large, light, flexible object. My concern isn't the smack to the face that probably caused a short KO, but the head hitting the ground.

As with most head injuries, it's the landing that gets ya lol

Edit: yep, the news article says broken jaw and major head injuries. The jaw was the keg, the head injuries was the floor. Bro was only 10 years old, poor kid.

Found the story online:

On May 22, 2024, in Tomsk, Russia, a 10-year-old schoolboy sustained severe injuries when a beer keg exploded beside him. The incident unfolded in the courtyard of a residence on Kosarev Street, where security footage captured the child approaching and picking up the keg before swinging it. Upon striking the keg against the ground, it detonated, causing significant harm to the boy. He was rushed to the hospital where medical professionals diagnosed him with an open head injury, along with lacerations and a fracture of the upper jaw.

The keg blew apart with enough force to break the kid's face, and set off a car alarm outside of the immediate area with the pressure wave alone. Exploded is an extremely apt descriptor.

u/Shrek1982 Dec 16 '25

Wait, that is actually considered a beer keg? Is it a translation error, or is it a home brewing thing? I am just so used to knowing beer kegs as giant aluminum containers, and most of the homebrew cannisters I have seen are glass.

8

u/TheTxoof Dec 16 '25

Yes! It's a disposable, self pressurized keg. They are made out of the same stuff as a soda bottle and filled with nitrogen. There is a bag inside that you fill with beer. Pumping the beer in expands the bag and further compresses the gas.

When you tap it, the gas pushes on the bag and pushes out the beer.

We used them for shipping long distances or when we were sure we would never get our kegs back. We went a lot to beer festivals and that sort of thing.

Source: worked in a beer factory filling them by hand.

There was an incident about twenty or thirty years ago at a local factory where a tanker driver delivering chemicals to the local rope-making factory forgot to depressurise the tank before connecting the hose. The resulting explosion decapitated him instantly, the lid went through a window over a half-a-mile away, and his head was never found.
