Out of the keg...and right back in. Who woulda thunk?

Heh...more than just the beer gets recycled here. You can't make this stuff up...or can you? Listed on marketplace for $300 each, minus the valves.

Like soothing rain on a tin roof, I'll bet they make the most awesome sound (pardon, ladies)!

Seems appropriate. I'm a fan of "up cycling" repurpose something that would otherwise be garbage.

I've also seen BBQ grills made from kegs. Lots of cool ideas.

Very cool! I'm a fan of upcycling also. I like Pinterest for ideas...

They should have the names of some of their beers above the "kego-urinal" for fun

Corona, Keystone, Budweiser...looks and tastes the same as what is being poured into the urinals.

Good point!!!

It's just rent money. You pay for the beer, channel it and then recycle it back into the water system.

Often times the bar will actually bring these back to a distributor to refill them, saves them the trouble of whipping out the ouija board to summon andre the giant just to crush a can.

Yes, they definitely use these until they are no longer safe to do so....much like the returnable bottles of my childhood.

The kegs are typically stainless steel or aluminum, so the scrap always demands a premium regardless how they are used.

Must be Budweiser

The days of taking your wagon around the block and collecting bottles. 2¢ for the small bottles and 5¢ for the quarts. About 5 doors down from where I lived as a little kid was a bar and my dad knew the owner and the head bartender. So, that's where all my deliveries were taken. Could easily make 75¢ on a Saturday or Sunday morning, before the street cleaner came through. Not a truck, but a guy pushing a big barrel on wheels and he had a wide broom. He always had an old smashed stogie in his mouth.

Local place has those in men's room with taps on top.

 

[Gino]

Is it recycled from the previous donator ??

Just don't munch on the urinal cake

Gino, you are the oldest, not really actually that old, person that I have ever met

If you have a Ford's Garage (which is actually a restaurant despite the name) that's what they have in the men's room. BTW, try the bison burger, it's amazing.

Those edges at the top look like they could be a hazard to someone who has been drinking. And I hope that is rust on the top sprayer bar on the left...........

Not all of us have to stand so close.
Wait, aren't kegs aluminum? What is that? Hand stand barf?

Science says no. The back of those kegs are parabolic curves, if you shoot from a distance counter-fire will come right back at you. Real urinals are not barrel-shaped for safety.
