With the weather warming up, party season is in the air. Sabastino’s Pizza and Grocery has a list of keg options for local college students, and with the option for delivery, who could go wrong? Here are some of their half-barrel brands and prices. 

1) Coors: Between $99 to $105

As defined by the higher price, a keg of Coors is probably of higher quality than your usual college beer. Also, it’s something you’d see on tap at restaurants — real people actually drink this outside of parties. 

Party you’d see this beer at: CEOs and Corporate Hoes. One where you would expect to fraternize with mostly 21-year-olds. 

2) Labatt Blue: Between $99 to $105

Labatt Blue is about the same quality as Coors, but consumed more commonly throughout upstate New York. Though Coors is more nationally recognized, one could argue that Labatt might even be better. It’s certainly more dynamic in flavor than Keystone, with a seltzer-like, hoppy taste that is perfect to sip on all night.

Party you’d see this beer at: Lax Bro Kickback. Having a beer at a party where you can actually recognize the flavors and ingredients is perfect for a more casual setting. Lax bros love to relax — join them with a bottle of Labatt. 

3.) Keystone keg: $75, $69 for students

Keystone Light is almost an indispensable part of the typical college campus. Infamously known for being smooth, it’s ideal for beer pong, flip cup and other drinking games involving chugging. Arguably the best part of Keystone is the cardboard packaging: Each one is marked with a new smooth moment that strengthens the Keystone brand.  

Party you’d see this beer at: Any fraternity house or dorm party. Keystone is notoriously known for being everywhere. By the time senior year ends, who knows — you might even miss those ‘smooth moments.’

4) Milwaukee’s Best: $75, $69 for students

The main Milwaukee’s Best brewery is located in Wisconsin, and that’s where it should stay. Unfortunately, it has turned up at some house and frat parties, a campus-wide atrocity. The brew is particularly light, probably because it’s watered down with gutter water, and leaves a strong aftertaste of bitter tartness that, if drunk enough, might make you believe you just vomited. 

Party you’d see this beer at: White trash party. If you’re purchasing the brew, it better be because you’re short on money. So the party it’s served at probably won’t be the classiest. Might as well go all out with a wife-beater and trucker hat.
