What Are the Kegs Made of? How do they stand the test of time?
• Kegs are wood products which expand and contract depending on moisture. Over time the oak, cherry and walnut woods mellow to their final coloration. The first keg we made back in about 1986 still hangs in our shop – good as new! • When your keg arrives it is “new” wood coated with a protective lacquer. It may even still smell “factory fresh”. The color will change as noted above. To keep it in shiny new condition we recommend an occasional polishing with Scott’s Liquid Gold wood protectant. Do you “rent” kegs or provide them for use in advertising? • NO! Absolutely not. We do not believe in the exploitation of the Saint Bernard for commercial activity or profit. Suddenly people who do not know what they are getting into want a “Cute Dog” and too many of them end up in bad homes or in Rescue. How big are the kegs?
