Unit Definition (hogshead [UK])
The hogshead [UK] is a traditional unit of volume for liquids. Originally the hogshead varied with the contents, often being equal to 48 gallons of ale; 54 of beer; 60 of cider; 63 of oil, honey, or wine; or 100 of molasses. In the British imperial system, the hogshead equals 1/2 butt, or 52.5 imperial gallons (8.429 cubic feet, or 238.67 liters). The British imperial and American hogsheads are almost exactly the same size. No one seems to know for sure how this unit got its unusual name.
