A friend picked up this keg thinking I'd find it useful. It looks like a firkin but the ports are in the wrong locations. It's made by Firestone and says Anheuser Busch... anyone know what this is?

It's a really old school commercial keg before the move to the modern sanke topped ones.
Looks like this is a Golden Gate keg.


23rd Street just stopped using some similar to this, bunged with a sanke top, not that long ago. You can ask Tucker all about it.

Oh yeah! I remember those from way, way back. In college (late '70s) I ended up in possession of a hand-pump tap for that kind of keg. If I still had it, I'd give it to you, but it's been lost for decades.

Of course, it's been nearly that long since I've seen one like that.

Nice, thanks for the info.
