How long could a keg last after its been tapped?


Rate This Answer

Once a keg has been tapped, the device that is used to tap it has a great bearing on how long the beer will stay fresh. A keg that has been tapped with a "party pump" or a pump that is powered by air will only last about eight to 12 hours, no matter what temperature it is kept at. Air (specifically oxygen) is an enemy of fresh beer, and once it has been exposed to it, deterioration immediately begins to set in.
