It is property of the brewery. Minimal effort, drop it off behind a taproom or place that sells kegged beer.. Or just set it on the street and it will be scooped up quick by someone. It belongs full of beer again.

This. The keg deposit doesn’t mean it’s yours. Half bbl legs like this one cost the brewery around $150 each. This needs to find its way back to Spoetzl aka Shiner Breweing

No need to be snarky.

You should just be able to take it to a liquor store. They should be able to get it back to the distributor who can send it back to the brewery. In Indiana we have to put a label on the keg that says where it came from. There might be something like that that would tell you where it came from originally.

Imma dude. And I ain’t worked up.

Also maybe a bar. I guess really wherever has/sells kegs would be a place to take it.
