A keg is technically any type of steel container used to serve beer from using either pressurized air for carbon dioxide. What most people think of a keg is actually a 1/2 barrel. A barrel is equal to 31 gallons (US). What most people call a keg is actually a 1/2 barrel, so 15.5 gallons.
Oddly enough, what most people call a 1/4 keg is actually a 1/4 barrel, not a 1/4 of what people think of when they think of a keg (which is a 1/2 barrel). So a 1/4 keg (aka 1/4 barrel) is 7.75 gallons.
There's 128oz of beer in a gallon. Assuming you want a cup of beer to be 12oz, which is what is in a bottle or can of beer, there will be 82.67 cups of beer in a 1/4 keg (aka 1/4 barrel).
