Hi. I was just wondering where I can get my own keg filled. Latly I seemed to have "inherited" a keg so I was wondering where I can get it fiiled. I called one Beer Store and they said they will only fill the kegs they rent out. Is this Beer Store just full of it or do non of them fill your own owned kegs? If it matters I live in Toronto.

Thanks.

Your inherited keg belongs to a brewery I bet. Return it, get a legal keg , and enjoy with a clear conscience. I've never heard of a brewery that would let people bring their own kegs to be filled, even if they truly and legally owned it,

What really happened is a guy on my rugby team threw a kegger. Like an idiot he lost the receipt to the keg, so now he is going away and has nothing to do with it. So here I come in and take it off his shoulders. Could I not even get it filled at a Brew your own beer type place?

Even if you don't have the receipt, a beer store should be able to give you a refund on the deposit.

Do you know how much the deposit was?

Most places won't fill them because they are a PITA to clean, and fill. You might try to give the keg you have back and use it toward a deposit on a full keg.

Also breweries look out for each other. There is a serial number on that keg and the brewery you take it too will probably call the brewery whose name is on it. I had friends arrested with "stolen" kegs acquired reasonably innocently like yours. A keg party ended up at their house andthe keg buyer never took his kegs back. My buddies used them with boards as a shelf unit. The police stopped by on an unrelated matter, checked the numbers and arrested them. Those kegs are much, much more expensive than the deposit.

I don't know how it was "aquired", but we had an empty keg at the fraternity house when I was in college (just a few years ago). We used it instead of a deposit on the next full keg. We'd go in for a keg of Natty (I know) and just swap kegs instead of putting down a deposit.
