    Bottles.

    ETA: They'll be cheaper in the long-run, you can buy a few different kinds, and they're recyclable!

    I think a keg is more cost effective.

    I think bottles are less of a hassle. Also, when you say "a keg" do you literally mean one keg?

    Keg might seem cheaper, but it's more of a hassle to keep it cold, to have someone to serve it vs just having to open a bottle and leftovers are way easier in bottles.

    If you have a bar tender, definitely keg!

    I'd check with your caterer, we provided our alcohol too (they served it) and they said with a keg, they recommend a second bartender.

    I'd do bottles; a keg is a LOT of one kind of beer, and it's a pain.

    We had like 75 guests and had 4 sixtels with 3 different types of local beer. It was perfect. I think that's a better option than one big keg.

    We did bottles. We were able to return any unopened cases so it was definitely more cost effective.

    Definitely bottles for that size of a group. It's what we did. It also allows you to have several types of beer available, as not everyone will want the same beer (most likely).

    Bottles! You would have to rent glasses as well as a tub to keep it cold.

    You also have to pay for the price of the tap, but I have the same question.

    I just did bottles of beer and wine for my reception last Friday for around 60 as well and it worked great. We had 4 different kinds of beer and ended up having a ton left over. I'm going to see if I can return the leftover. Can't do that with a keg if you have leftover beer.

    Bottles. I'd rather have bottles than solo cups in my pics.
