Pony kegs

For those who don't know, a pony keg is a drive thru liquor store that also sells convenience foods like milk, sandwiches, snacks, etc. It sounds like a strange idea, but is extremely convenient
A&A'smommy replied: I have never heard of that but that is really neat!!!
bwalkerletters replied: A pony keg in Nashville is a SMALL keg......... like the kegs you have at parties. Boy, I remember those days. LOL
ammommy replied: A pony keg in Nashville is a SMALL keg.........
I remember those, too! I think that's how the stores got the name because they sold a lot of those to the college crowd
~KARA~ replied: Most of the drive thrus around here(marion ohio) sell liquor and all that other stuff too!
Kaitlin'smom replied: I think there is still one around here in Kettering/dayton ohio
but yes I know what your talking about
Mommy2BAK replied: thats what a pony keg is here too
coasterqueen replied: that's wat they are here in Illinois too.
Did you ever do keg stands?
mom21kid2dogs replied: That's so funny they call them that! We have 3 or so "pony kegs" at our family reunion but those are smaller sized kegs that you tap. Here we call drive thru liquor stores here drive thrus. We have 3 in our little town~priorities, you know!!
My2Beauties replied: YEah same as bwalker here too, we had a pony keg at the IL's house for Derby!
bwalkerletters replied:
LOL.............Yeah, but that's before I grew! LOL.........Bringing back memories on that one and memories I have forgotten because of the keg stands! LOL
mammag replied: We have them here in Columbus but I've never heard them called that before. We also just call them drive thrus...
uwishucudfly replied: same here.....
But in the North Carolina Outerbanks they have things called a Brew-Thru. It is a drive thru beer and liquor store. So cool!
gr33n3y3z replied: they are either full or 1/2 kegs here
No drive thru
Boys r us replied: I was among the thought that they were small kegs too Ahhh the good memories from college! LOL
Here we call those a Brew-Thru but they only sell beer, not liquor as far as alcohol goes and they have milk, bread, soft drinks..here's a pic:
ammommy replied: Yep, Nichole...that's a pony keg! I don't think actual hard liquor is sold, but the rest is (or used to be). I'm glad I'm not the only one who's heard of these things.
coasterqueen replied: We had ONE in our town that was like that, but it lasted like 6 months and was gone. Which kinda stinks because now that I have kids I'd DIE to use one of them for little things. Would be heaven not to get out of the car with kids and go into the store for just a few items. I'm really suprised they aren't more popular, especially with moms/dads. Hmmm, maybe they're just marketed wrong .
jdkjd replied: Same here. We do have a drive-thru Beer Barn...
mammag replied: I agree.... you would think they would be more popular but I think it's because they are targeted more for the alcohol buying crowd. You should open one and call it a mommy-thru! Sell diapers, wipes, milk, soda, otc infant meds, formula, and all the odds and ends that we all have to make midweek runs to the store for. You could make millions!!!
Here they tend to be in the lower income neighborhoods. I remember my dad going to them all the time when we were young for his daily beer run so I have bad memories and would probably never go to one.
Maddie&EthansMom replied: Yep! They are called Drive Thru beer barns here, too.
