Crossing the border with a keg?

Hello,

I am going to be venturing the Canada with a group of friends...as the title
of this message would indicate, we are considering bringing one or more kegs
into Canada with us.

What would the hit be at the border? I know each person over 21 is allowed
a case of beer and/or 1 litre of liquor...but I can't find any mention of
kegs. I'm sure it's come up at least once before...

Thanks for any input.
Wayne.

I'm pretty sure a keg holds more than a case. You could look it up.

Does that lead you to any conclusions?

1 keg = 6.875 cases. I can do math, thanks. Still doesn't answer the
question though.
Never use logic when thinking about alcohol laws.

It's not, but it is expensive! 36.35 loonies (33 USD) for a case of Labatt
Blue or Molson.

Just investigating some options

The real question here is: Why would anyone in their right mind
want to take American beer into Canada?

I was in Canada with a friend who drinks Budseiser (for some reason!).
He pointed out to me that the Bud available in Canada was stronger than
in the US, something like 5.5% against 4.5%.

That may vary by state.
