Where Can You Pick Up An Old Beer Keg ?

[moetman]

I'm on the Mornington Peninsula - I picked up an old 50L Keg from someone years ago when I was AG'ing but now I'm after a couple more.

Are Craft Brew shops the only place you can pick these up?

You could try Craig Deacon from KegSystems. He mainly deals in new kegs but I believe that he does have access to old ones, well I know he does as he loans them to brewers for the beer awards as part of his sponsorship. Mainly 20's and 10's but he may have access to 50's. We bought some new 50's from him a few years back.

they pop up on ebay every now or then.

Probably, yes. But most won't carry them.
One of the retailers here imported a bulk-lot of 50L kegs from Europe a few months ago, but sorry I can't remember who they were.
I'm thinking ubrew.com.au for some reason?

All depends what you mean by "pick these up"

Some people have been known to "pick these up" from behind their local boozer. Some say this is liberating a repressed keg from the cluches of mega brew.
Others say it's stealing.
