Keg Theft: Kegs Disappearing From Bars and Breweries
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008Not an activity we at Kegerators.com encourage, stainless steel kegs are disappearing from behind bars and breweries to be sold for scrap metal or possibly for home brewing.
The trend comes as the stainless scrap price has more than doubled in the last five years, making an empty 18-pound keg worth more than $13, according to price data for steel scrap sold in Chicago.
Hawaii actually passed legislation making beer-keg theft a crime. They may not have needed the law since existing theft laws probably would have covered it. But just for good measure, they passed it anyway.
