US beer barrel == 31 gal
You are correct that a beer keg == 1/2 beer barrel (15.5g), but if you buy kegs
from a lot of stores, you'll find that 95% of them refer to a half barrel as a "half
keg," and a quarter barrel as a "quarter (or pony) keg." So you see, they actually
do sell "1/2 kegs."
Seems that the term keg isn't very standardized, at least in common retail use.
