    You're unlikely to get one for free off a pub as they pay a deposit on them and they're also used as scrap metal so don't come cheap regardless.

    I have seen them lying about near pubs i.e. where some wains have taken a keg for a laugh and then abandoned it, so you could keep an eye out.

    Building sites tend to accumulate kegs sometimes as well but they might be a bit beat out/covered in gunk.

    Or if you know of a closed down pub in your area there might be an old keg or two lying round it somewhere.

    There's about 4 different types of kegs, each with a different diameter. Best get the keg first and measure the diameter.
