Yes, a half barrel is a type of keg commonly used for storing and dispensing large quantities of beer. It typically holds around 15.5 gallons or 58.7 liters of liquid.
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).
12 thirty packs! Since keg sizes are not standardized, the keg cannot be used as a standard unite of measure for liquid volumes. This size standard varies from country to country and brewery to brewery with many countries using the metric system rather than U.S. gallons. In the US, however, a "full keg" or "half barrel" contains 15.5 and therefore depending on the quality of the fill anywhere from 150-165 12 oz. beers. Doing the math, that means that 5 to 5.5 "30 packs of beer fill a keg."
Assuming each person drinks 2 beers, you would need 150 beers. Since a standard keg contains 165 12-ounce beers, you would need at least 1 keg. It may be a good idea to have an extra keg on hand to ensure there is enough for everyone.
There are approximately 124 pints of beer in a 15.5 gallon keg.

In an American Keg there is 100 glasses of beer. In a European Keg there is 84 beers. Both these numbers are half barrels. in a quarter barrel there is 33.
There are 165 12oz glasses of beer in a 1/2 Barrel (15.5 gallon) Keg.
Yes, a half barrel is a type of keg commonly used for storing and dispensing large quantities of beer. It typically holds around 15.5 gallons or 58.7 liters of liquid.
The answer will depend on the measures of the beer: half-pints, pints, half-litres, litres etc.
If you are talking about a full size keg, then it is about 165 12oz beers, or 124 16oz beers. If you are talking about a half keg, then it is about 82 12oz beers, or 62 16oz beers. Obviously there are other sizes, but those are the main ones.
about 40 pitchers in a keg.
