If a brewery has decided that a keg is to be junked, I think it would likely be too messed up to safely/reliably keg in.

If a brewery has decided that a keg is to be junked, I think it would likely be too messed up to safely/reliably keg in.

Breweries sell perfectly good kegs all the time, often to each other. Sometimes they are trying to keep a uniform keg style, and will sell anything they get back from the distributor that's different. They also will get rid of kegs if the chimes get badly dented, even if the keg is still perfectly functional otherwise. I know of a few breweries who are trying to get their entire fleet rfid enabled, and are selling any kegs they get back that don't have rfid chips. If a keg truly is junk, breweries typically send it to the junkyard rather than trying to sell it.
