Decanting beer for a picnic

[RobM77]

I'm going to an open air concert in July where you're encouraged to take a deckchair and your own beer. I went a few years ago and it was great; we filled a chill box with beer and food and relaxed in the sun. This year though they've decided to ban glass bottles...

Does anyone have any tips for decanting beer into a plastic bottle? Will it lost its fizz between lunchtime on a Friday when we leave and 11pm when the concert finishes?

Heineken do a 5l keg.

Charles Wells do one. Or pop along to your local brewery and get a gallon jug. Or maybe 18 pints!!

Can you not just take cans?

this is what you want,



brewery's sell similar recepticles as do the very best pubs, plastic is good, but i've heard ceramic is even better (especially if you should be taking REAL ale)

Surely such a testament to middle classness should be attended with wine boxes?

On a hot summer's day over a period of 5 hours I'd be paralytic if I was drinking wine! I'd far rather have ice cold beers
