Kegs To Go
Kegs to go are available at the brewery. We also fill growlers -- bring your own or purchase a spiffy Georgetown Brewing Growler for $11 ($6 for refill). See below for our keg rental policy, keg sizes/pricing, and answers to commonly asked questions. Call 206-766-8055 or email us at sales@georgetownbeer.com to reserve your keg. Directions to the brewery and business hours for keg pick-up and return are here.
Keg Rental Policy
Our keg and tap rentals are FREE; however, we do require a cash, check, or credit card deposit of $50 for each tap and $100 for each keg that is taken out. Items must be returned within 7 days of the date of purchase. If you have a nifty kegerator then we expect you’ll have the beer for a few weeks. If you need more time with your beer, just ask or call us and we'll extend your free rental period. After your initial 7 day time period is up, we will process your deposit (i.e. cash your check). Do not despair, if you bring back the keg and tap in good working order at a later date, we'll gladly buy them back from you for the same dollar amount of your original deposit.

Commonly Asked Questions
Q: How do I tap a keg?
A: We'll show you.

Q: How long will kegged beer keep and why does it go flat?
A: It will keep for a few days if you keep the beer cold, but it progressively changes in taste with each day it's exposed to air. Tapping your keg with a party pump is like opening a 2-liter bottle of soda -- it puts air into the container. CO2 then escapes the liquid and dissipates into the air, making the beer more flat.

Q: If I plan on drinking the keg over a period of a few days, what should I do?
A: Best thing to do is to untap the keg and keep the beer on ice! Cold beer will hang on to its CO2 longer. Do not pump more air into it -- that'll just oxidize the beer faster. Or... you could buy yourself a home CO2 draft beer system and be cool like we are.

Q: What causes beer to foam?
A: Primarily, beer will foam when it is warm. Bouncing it down the stairs won't help. Keep it on ice and keep it still and you will have a happy keg.

Q: How much does a keg weigh?
A: A full keg weighs between 155-165 lbs, so be careful moving it, macho man. No need to give yourself a hernia. We'll help you load it but you're on your own to unload.
