Are kegs tacky?

I am not a big beer drinker...I do live in Portland, so we have great micro brews, but, I would say that with beer, I would drink it from a tap (keg) or a bottle. NEVER a can. I do not like canned anything.

@Kathy: since I'm alcohol impaired (I'm not a drinker at all...lol) can you tell me what micro brew is? I've heard it before, but not sure what it means. and, it would definitely be from a bottle or a keg. not a can. ew gross. lol

I've always considered cans tacky. Bottles are sort of ok, but it looks nicer to have drinks out of glasses vs. cans (or bottles) with beer labels sitting around at the tables. picture yourself in guests photos with a bottle of beer in hand, now think of a clear cup, with "something" understatedly in it. IMO I'd never use bottles or cans.

Microbrews are handcrafted beers made by smaller producers. They have far more favor and character than mass produced beers.

I agree, I don't think they'll be tacky at a wedding, as long as nobody pulls one out from behind the bar & start doing keg stands! lol

Im from wyoming and ive seen kegs both as tacky with groomsmen doing keg stands, and behind the bar were no one sees i figure if its behind the bar its fine. but leave keg stupidity for the stag party

Micro brew is a handcrafted beer generally from a smaller brewry

Funny you say that Mikesgirl...we had a keg at our wedding. Our reception started at 4 and by 10 the party was still going. Most of the older crowd had gone by then but my Dad was there and all the younger crowd dancing it up. I turned around and saw my new little brother's buddy (who is about 6'4" and 300 pound football player) doing a keg stand right next to my dad! I was in shock but it was fine they were just having fun and I think my dad didn't know what to say - he has probably never seen a keg stand before! It was something I will never forget.

But main point - I think a keg is fine and like PP said, if it is a formal event just make sure it stays behind the bar!

I don't think its tacky at all. I've been to a wedding that had some bottles of stronger beer for people who are beer snobs and then kegs of classic beers like bud light and budweiser for the majority. The bottled beer they had ran out so quickly but no one really cared. They were just happy to have any beer at all. Oh yea.. and at the end of the night when there were just a few close family members left.. they did keg stands and it was hilarious! My FH's family is kinda wild and definitely not uptight!

I am having a very casual barbeque/wedding reception in a park ! we got our liquor permit and our $1,000,000 insurance and are having kegs ... and boxed wine !!! but it is all being served by bartenders so i dont think its tacky at all !

Kegs are never a bad idea!! hide it behind the bar.no one will think its tacky!they'll be happy to be drinking beer! ours will be behind the bar as well....no keg stands at this shindig!

Lol stephanie m!...okay maybe a few keg stands.at the end of course..and not by me in a dress!

If guests have to serve themselves out of a keg that is super tacky. If the bartender is serving it, its ok.
