Anheuser-Busch stainless steel or aluminum?

[Grimstad13]

Did Anheuser-busch use aluminum kegs ever, or are they all stainless steel? Wanting to bid on one but they say its aluminum, sure looks like stainless to me. Any input would be appreciated.

I am not specifically aware of any aluminum kegs being used by A/B, although it is possible. There was a time when some kegs were made of aluminum, but not many. What does the keg in question look like?

rolled bottom and top which makes me think it is SS.

ask for the weight? should be about 30 lbs if it's stainless steel.

Sanke? Straight sides?

Yes they did ,to my under standing test them in some markets most where smaller in cir. Similar to cornys . St. Louis . LA and I think some where in west va have some full size kegs. But that was in the mid to late 90's I lost track after that /switch careers . But mind you they are rare .

That is stainless. As used as that one appears, it would be dented like crazy if it were AL

Isn't there a stamp on it? My Boston Beer Company has a stamp towards the top that states the grading of the SS and the date of manufacture along with some other info.
