For a frat brother, a keg is always appropriate.

it used to be you got what you got, or what others thought you should
get
Gift giving as a social obligation; you've been invited to to a
Sorority sister's or a Frat brother's wedding, what do you give? Not
someone you're really close to, but someone for whatever reason you
can't just ignore.
China, silverware & glassware are socially neutral gifts, particularly
if the couple are not close family. The bridal registry provided a way
for everybody to get on the same sheet of music. You aren't buying the
whole set, just one piece and you're assured it's going to fit in with
the other pieces they get.
AND, you could be sure you didn't give them the second toaster.
