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.

Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.
I don't quite get it Andy. If you are paying the bar price, why not drink it there?
We had the 4-pint 'demi-john' style containers when I worked & lived at The Nelson (circa 1979), with a screw top and that push-down valve seal which never really worked.
The Evening Star does take-outs in 2&4 pint plastic 'milk' containers. I hope to be there at opening time next Sat, before it gets as rammed as was the case on Strongers' visit.

Time limitations and the need to be at home. You're right though, the cost is prohibitive compared to bottled beers.
Waes hael!
