That says 1 pint on it, not that big.

I used to remember 1 litre cans of Cains FA that you could get in the supermarket, but haven't seen them since.

It was great pretending I had a Jeremy Beadle hand, supping away.

Heineken do a [url= http://www.heineken.com/gb/our-beer/products-keg.aspx ]DraughtKeg[/url] which is ok if you like Heineken

I usually see them in the Shops around fathers day/Christmas, but maybe catch it in a superstore?

Have you tried any of your local breweries for a pin(4.5 gallon)?

I know a few local to me, that will sell you a pin with a tap (as long as you return them) for a price that works out at £1.70 a pint, a firkin works out even cheaper, but I would struggle to one of them in a weekend, 72 pints!

😉

This. Good local brewery will sort you out.

Edit - just read the more recent bit about getting through security.

Can't you just decant something into a few cheapo 2 litre cider bottles?
