all depends on how big of drinkers they are. if they’re boozers, might need 2. otherwise, 1 would probably be enough ---

A “1/2 keg” for 50 people? Plenty, if there’s moderation. ---

I believe that was called a “Coors Light Party Ball”? 1/2 bbl is about 60 bucks for decent quality beer, iirc. ---

We used to have parties of about 150, went through 3 - 1/2 barrels and a party ball. Heck, at my last job we had an employee picnic where my boss and I kicked a 1/2 barrel ourselves (maybe I shouldn’ve driven home that day) For 50 people I’d recommend 2 - 1/2 barrels. ---

I was thinking 4 barrels (1/2 keg) foir 150 people… Sound right? I’m a little concerned that is a bit much as I know there are others who will bring a bottle of their own to drink Like Rum or something ---

newchic… did you check the prices for those??? I think that amount you listed above would satisfy the crowd for sure, if the turnout is that large. ---

I’m gathering it will be in teh neighborhood of $60 per barrel… including a $20 deposit for each… which will be refunded after they are returned… So for 4 barrels… we are looking at an end cost of 160 ---

Also, I’m going to be checking prices on everything… hopefully early Saturday… so I plan on making the official thread with what the plan is as well as how much to charge and all that crap by end of day Sunday. That should give everyone 3 weeks to respond and one week for us to gather everything needed. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/beer/186281.md?page=2)
