How does the keg deposit work?
Kegs carry a refundable $50 deposit added at checkout. Return the empty keg within 4 days and your $50 is refunded. (A few one-way kegs from certain vendors carry no deposit.)
How does the gas tank deposit work?
CO₂ and nitrogen tanks carry a refundable $100 deposit per tank. When you return the empty tank, the $100 is refunded.
Do you refill CO₂ and nitrogen tanks?
Yes. We refill CO₂ (5, 10, and 20 lb), 100% nitrogen, and beer-gas (nitrogen/CO₂) blends at our Mission St store. Bring in your empty tank, or order a refill online for pickup or Bay Area delivery.
What keg sizes do you carry?
We stock kegs from sixtels (1/6 barrel) and 5-gallon Cornelius kegs up to 1/4 barrels and 1/2 barrels (full size), across beer, wine, cold brew coffee, and kombucha.
Which keg coupler do I need?
It depends on the brand. Most American macro beers use the "D" (Sankey) coupler; many imports use "A," "G," or "S"; Guinness and most stouts use the "U" coupler. See our Keg Guide for a brand-to-coupler breakdown, or call us and we'll match it for you.
