Zero-proof kegs, on tap, anywhere
Here's exactly where we ship, how it works, and what to expect.
Where We Ship
United States & Canada
- We currently ship 1/6 barrel (5 gallon) kegs across the continental U.S. and adding parts of Canada.
- Kegs ship in one-way recyclable shells - no returns required.
- Local swap programs are available in select areas of Indiana.
Outside the continental U.S.? If you're in Alaska, Hawaii, or international, reach out and we'll tell you what's possible and what it costs.
Keg Format & Servings
All PourZero business kegs are:
If you can pour beer or cold brew, you can pour our NA kegs. We'll confirm compatibility before your first shipment.
Lead Times
We want you to know when your kegs show up, not guess.
Standard Orders
Pallet Orders (20+ kegs)
If you have a hard event date, tell us up front and we'll schedule backwards to protect service.
Shipping Methods
Parcel / LTL (1-9 kegs)
- Ships via parcel or LTL carrier
- Each keg ships in a protective outer box with handling instructions
Freight / Pallet (20+ kegs)
- Shipped on pallet by freight carrier
- Dock access is ideal but we can work with liftgate and delivery windows
Pricing note: Shipping and freight are quoted per order based on destination, total weight / pallet count, and required delivery timing. We pass through our rates; shipping is listed separately from keg pricing.
Local Keg Swap (Indiana)
If you're near our home base in Indiana:
- We offer steel swap kegs in some areas.
- You keep a keg on tap; when it kicks, we swap it for a full one.
- Pricing and availability depend on your location and volume.
Ask us if you're eligible for the local swap program when you request pricing.
Storage & Handling on Arrival
To get the best pour:
Store kegs cold on arrival (walk-in cooler or dedicated fridge).
Keep kegs upright during storage.
Let kegs settle after transport before tapping.
We provide a simple setup & serving guide with every first order and are available for questions on foaming, gas, and pour quality.
Shelf Life
Shelf life varies by product type, but general guidelines:
Unopened (stored cold)
1-6 months
depending on style
Once tapped
30-120 days
in typical bar/cafe/office conditions
We'll include recommended shelf life for each keg style on your order and can walk you through planning based on your volume.
Damaged or Problem Kegs
If anything shows up damaged or doesn't pour right:
Take photos of the keg, box, and label.
Email us at support@pourzero.com with your order number and what happened.
We'll replace or credit qualifying kegs and work with you to fix the root issue (shipping, gas, temp, etc.).
Our goal is simple: kegs that show up on time and pour clean. If that doesn't happen, we fix it.
Not Sure If We Can Ship to You?
If you're:
- •A multi-location group
- •Outside the continental U.S.
- •Unsure about freight or dock access
…reach out and we'll map it out with you.

Shipping, answered
How PourZero Ships Non-Alcoholic Kegs
Where does PourZero ship non-alcoholic kegs?
PourZero ships 1/6 barrel non-alcoholic kegs across the United States and Canada. Local keg-swap programs are available in Indiana. International shipping beyond Canada is not offered at this time.
How long does NA keg shipping take?
Standard lead time is 3–14 days depending on order size and destination. Single kegs and small orders ship faster via parcel or LTL; pallet orders (20+ kegs) need extra time for freight scheduling.
Do NA kegs require refrigerated (cold-chain) shipping?
No. Cold-chain transit is not required. Move kegs into cold storage on arrival and chill to 36–40°F (2–4°C) before tapping. Cold storage is required after a keg is tapped to protect carbonation and flavor.
Are there keg deposits or return fees?
No. PourZero primarily uses one-way recyclable kegs, so there's no deposit and no return logistics — the keg recycles at the venue. Local Indiana swap programs use returnable kegs under a separate arrangement.
| Order size | Typical lead time | Shipping method | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–4 kegs | 3–7 days | Parcel / small LTL | Best for home, single-tap pilots, and small offices |
| 5–19 kegs | 5–10 days | LTL freight | Most common for bars, cafes, and event orders |
| 20+ kegs (pallet) | 7–14 days | Pallet freight | Lowest landed cost per keg; needs receiving dock or liftgate |
| Indiana keg-swap | Local schedule | Returnable, local route | Available in the Indianapolis metro on a recurring cadence |
