     Draught beers are racked into sterilized casks which are made from planks of Oaks and bound by metal belt.Most modern casks made by metals. These beers are allowed to condition before distributing to the market which makes the content to CO2. This aids in the fermentation of  'head' while serving. Casks are stored horizontally on the stillion in the cellar. Casks are available in different capacities in the market.

    It is advisable to bottle the beer in the dark glass bottles to protect it from sunlight. Most breweries use brown colour bottles.However, beers are available in clear glass bottles which should be store away from the sunlight.Bottles of different sizes are sold in plastics crates for easier transportation and stacking.Nips are smallest bottles with a capacity of one-third of a pint which hold stronger beer.This bottle is termed as a baby.Half pints and one pints bottles are quite common in western countries. The capacity of Indian beer bottle 650 ml and some brands in India are also available in the sizes of 300 ml and 375 ml.

length of time,and easier packing and distribution.

Kegs:-

    These are metal containers of beer stored vertically in the cellar.The condition of the beer is taken care by CO2 cylinders which are secured near the keg.The sizes of the keg are usually 5-10 gallons which should be exhausted with in 4 days of delivery. Guinness keg don't need a gas cylinder as the gas is contained in the keg itself.
