kegs

Tapped party containers

Kegs is the plural of keg, a small barrel typically used for storing and dispensing beer.

A standard keg holds about fifteen gallons.

We ordered three kegs for the party.

A keg stand is a party stunt where someone does a handstand on a keg while drinking from the tap.

Keg also appears in powder keg, a container of explosives and a metaphor for volatile situations.
