Why do you need a beer converter?

Find best value: For example, is it really cheaper to buy a pitcher vs. many pints? You will be surprised to learn that it's not always the case! Maybe the owner had too many pints when he decided the price of a pitcher.

Keep track: For example, when you buy pitchers of beer for a party of people, you may be interested to know how many pints of beer each person drank.

Plan a party: For example, to find out how many kegs you need to serve a certain number of pints per person.

Beer Measurements

Pint: A pint of beer is 16 ounces, which is what we used in the math above. However, we have found that sometimes when you ask for a pint, they give you a beer glass that is actually less than 16 ounces.

Pitcher: There is no official pitcher size, so you would have to ask your server what size their pitchers are. For our math, we use 60 ounces, as that seems to be the most common beer pitcher size.

Keg: A standard keg size that you have probably seen at parties is a 1/2 barrel. A barrel of beer is 31 gallons, and half of that is 15.5 gallons. There are 128 ounces in a gallon. Thus, a 1/2 barrel keg of beer is 1984 ounces, which is what we used in our calculations above.
