If I'm correct decommisioned kegs get crushed at the scrap yard.
True?

 

[zippo]

Not if they are purchased prior.

Breweries dont sell kegs off. Which brewery name is stamped on the chime?

They were not purchased from a brewery, but from a scrap dealer.

Please do not post if you are not interested in purchasing :beer:

Thank you

I'd be interested in purchasing if you can confirm that they are legally procured.

Just cause you got them from a scrap dealer doesn't make them any more legit. As someone that helped run a family owned scrap dealership for 15 years... Scrappies are not pillars of society.

i have purchased items(eg. engines) of the same dealer before and have had never had any problems. i asked him where they were from and what he was goin to do with them and he said he bought them from a brewhouse down the coast and he was goin to crush them for scrap.

That's cool mate... just suggesting that people will be a little trepidatious when dealing with potential illegal items. I reckon a photo or 2 will help to dispel anxiety and aid in your selling. Basically if it is marked with a big name brewery i'd suggest stay away from them, because they DON'T sell their old kegs. Throw a photo up... best way to put the issue to bed.

What do the large breweries do with there kegs??

 

[geoff_tewierik]

Drill holes in them so they can't be used and sell them for scrap.

 

[Banshee]

As far asI know the breweries sell or give them to the scrap metal merchants in trust that they are going to be crushed not sold on the black market.

 

[zippo]

these ones have the valve in the top removed and were goin to be crushed. the have some company on them, not tooheys or castlemaine though.

 

[JestersDarts]

thanks for the clues, holmes.

on the microbrewery site they have been advertising used kegs from different sources over the last couple of weeks for sale. So I gather everything isn't all about shady deals when talking selling kegs

Yeah the OP edited his thread after I asked the question so it now says in the description.

From working at a scrap metal recycling business I know that the breweries have specifically sent out notices to scrap yards not to pay for kegs that have the brewery's name stamped on them.
