5 Hard Rated
While we did say that this was a list just for beer kegs, it would be crazy not to include a relativity new offering, which I'm sure you've heard about. It involved a name change, but that didn't slow down the orders at all, I'd say orders for this keg have actually increased!

It’s particularly popular at parties and events where a lighter, more refreshing option is desired.
