    90 pints and you should get one for around €180

    88 pints. Take into consideration the frothy head and you can add on a few extra pints.

    Suppose a pub would make around about 440 euro on a keg.

    But everything needs to be paid for out of that!

    Don't forget that 23% of what the publican charges is VAT.
    (duty is factored into the wholesale price)

    staffing can then be anywhere from 17- 30 % of the rest of that!

    88 is the number I was told by more than a few bar managers. I've no reason to doubt them

    A keg is 50 litres, that is just about 88 but carbonation will increase the volume a little, hence the head of each pint

    88 is what you'd get out of a perfect keg, perfectly poured at the perfect gas settings.

    In reality though, you might lose anywhere between 1-5 pints in spillage, too much gas and then the run off in the morning/if it hasn't been used for a while.
