Hello,

I'd like to know the gallon capacity of a standard beer barrel that
pubs get in the UK. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated!

Cask beer is supplied in firkins, or '9s', and kilderkins, or '18s',
holding 9 or 18 imperial gallons respectively. There are some larger
sizes but these are rarely used today. Remember that these are larger
than US gallons.

A few breweries supply in 'metric firkins' of 11 gallons - about 50
litres.

HTH, Paul
