Keg Scales for Accurate Draft Beer Inventory
Portable keg scales designed to help bars, restaurants, stadiums, event venues, and other hospitality operations track draft beer with more precision and less guesswork.
Beer Keg Scale
Accurate Draft Beer Inventory for Bars & Restaurants
Draft beer inventory becomes easier to manage when keg levels are measured by weight instead of estimated by shaking, lifting, or visual checks. Beer Keg Scale features rugged, easy-to-use equipment from Alcohol Controls — a long-established supplier of beverage control products for the hospitality industry.
The traditional shake-and-guess method leaves too much room for error. A keg scale gives managers a more reliable way to measure draft inventory, monitor usage, and compare what was poured with what was sold.

Better Inventory Control Starts with Better Measurement
When draft beer is inventoried accurately, management can understand exactly how much product is used each day. That visibility supports tighter inventory practices, more consistent reporting, and stronger accountability across the bar.
A keg scale can help reduce losses tied to unauthorized free pours, over-pouring, unrecorded draft sales, product waste, theft or skimming, and poor keg tracking between shifts. For operations serving high volumes of draft beer, even small discrepancies add up.
