A barrel is a US unit of measurement, 31 gallons.
US beer barrel: 31 US gallons (117.3 litres), the result of tax law definitions

A keg is 15.5 gallons of beer, also referred to as a half barrel, since it's half of a legally defined barrel.
a half keg is usually refferred to as a quarter barrel, or a pony keg, is 7.75 gallons of beer.

So Bud costs $68 for a half keg/quarter barrel?

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
