I assume that you're referring to a half barrel? I've never tried, but I would guess that it won't. Too large a diameter.

Hmmm... with ice? I'd like to see pics of that. Hope no one sits on the car during the party. JK... really depends on the keg: http://www.micromatic.com/beer-quest...le-aid-11.html. The full sized "king" keg will likely not fit plus at 160lbs full the weight may be an issue. Drive carefully and avoid speed bumps/steep inclines.

yeah - same question re: half-barrell. If so I don't think it will fit. And even if it could I don't think that much weight that far forward is a good idea.

That would make for a great party, throw the keg in the frunk and ice it up!

I'm planning to get a pony keg. But, I might as well throw it in the 4runner and not worry about busting the front of my car on a kerb or by dropping the thing on my car... It just takes a little more coordination and understanding from the wife as to another thing I won't do in my car! But, I also don't like admitting or acting like my car is special or functionally limited...

Thanks for the info.

997 drivers don't drink beer out of a keg.

We prefer single malt scotch, bourbon, or gin only.

Happen to have a empty keg in the garage. The top has been cut off and is now used for steaming clams here in New England. (Great for big parties!)

Nope it doesn't fit! rubber ducky is right... a little too wide

Drunk gets into a taxi. "Hey driver, have you got room up front for a case of beer and a bottle of Jack Daniels?" Cabbie looks around & shrugs, "Sure, I guess so." So the drunk leans over the seat and pukes.
