I thought if I can't support my local pub by being there as much as I would like I could pop in and get my favourite cask ale in a takeaway container.
I found a website called baractivity that sells 2-pint beer cartons but they are aimed at publicans - £39.90 for 100 cartons.
What suitable alternatives would you suggest?
A few pubs round here do 2 or 4 pint reusable plastic demi-jon type containers for around £2 a pop , failing that i find an old lemonade bottle works fine;)
Back when we first started and Ray drove to pubs so needed his beer for later, we used pint milk bottles. Got funny looks off publicans getting a plastic pint milk bottle to fill up, but it worked well.
I don't quite get it Andy. If you are paying the bar price, why not drink it there?Quote:

Time limitations and the need to be at home. You're right though, the cost is prohibitive compared to bottled beers.
Sometimes, when I've been invited round to a beer loving friends house for a meal, I've turned up with four pints of carry out instead of wine. Works really well.Quote:
