Likewise, Keg is a container that holds and serves large quantities of beer, cider, and other alcoholic or carbonated drinks.
After grouping out this bar item, I got the green group” Bar Fixtures.”

A tug, also known as a Tugboat, is a marine vessel that maneuvers other vessels by pushing or pulling them with direct contact or a tow line.
