kegful

One barrel's contents

A kegful is the amount that fills a keg, typically referring to beer.

Since standard kegs hold about 15.5 gallons (a half-barrel), a kegful represents a substantial quantity of liquid—enough for a large party or gathering.

We went through a kegful at the reception.

The term follows the pattern of other container-based measurements like cupful or bucketful.
