I've flown with bottles and growlers in my luggage no problem though which are technically under pressure too. I guess a keg is different?No. You'll need to ship them. Anything under pressure will get stopped, as it will.be in an unpressurized hull in cargo.
I'm just going to ask why you think there might be a beer shortage in Munich...I have some mini half gallon kegs that I would like to travel with from Boston to Munich. The kegs will be full and under pressure.
Will I be allowed to fly internationally with this if I check it in my luggage?

I'm visiting a friend in Belgium and want to give him some homebrewI'm just going to ask why you think there might be a beer shortage in Munich...
Yeah I guess a metal vessel rated to 130 PSI might raise some red flags.With terrorism the way it is these days, and the additional hostilities coming from the Ukraine, I'd be hesitant to fly a container with that much liquid anywhere. Even a short domestic trip.
From my experience trying to drink Kloster Andechs dry, there can be too much beer to handle...Is there ever enough beer anywhere?
Definitely better off just filling a few bombers and putting them in plastic bags and then wrapping t-shirts around them and packing in your suitcase. Do you really want TSA taking your keg and beer?
That's what I usually do, but that was before I went down the low oxygen brewing rabbit hole!Definitely better off just filling a few bombers and putting them in plastic bags and then wrapping t-shirts around them and packing in your suitcase. Do you really want TSA taking your keg and beer?
I’m sure TSA would like to help “dispose” of your brew!
I've brewed low oxygen, well before I got my Foundry which is not as LoDo friendly and shipped bottles to comps and they have maintained their goodness. I am sure bottles in a suitcase don't get bounced around much more than being in a hot truck driving cross country!That's what I usually do, but that was before I went down the low oxygen brewing rabbit hole!
LOL
Sounds like you work for Customs..... Where can I apply?Every official along the 4000 mile route will require a lengthy investigatory sampling to verify the safety of the contents. Make sure to attach Beer Nuts and pretzel rods to the kegs.
I'll be traveling from the Dolomites through Innsbruck to Munich. Will have roughly two full days in Munich. Are there any local breweries in those areas that you recommend?I am living in Germany ... In regards to customs you are allowed to bring 16 liters of beer (roughly 4 gallons) per person with you to Germany. So no problem there
Oh wow! I didn't realize they were all that close to eachotherIn Düsseldorf visit the altstadt and go to Uerige, Schumacher, zum Füschen and zum Schlüssel. All within walking distance of each other and all amazing
Not denying that, but I'm still bringing a homebrew as a gift to my friend in Belgium who originally inspired me to start brewing about 15 years ago.You're going to Europe. Go and enjoy the beer there. You'll be blown away at the difference of German beer you can buy in the states vs what you'll be able to drink there.
I am from northern Germany ... So not that experienced with Munich etc. BUT you should try the gutmanns hefeweizen. It is a small brewery and their beer is famous in German home brew forums. Especially because they are one of the few remaining breweries that bottle condition with the yeast they used to ferment the beer.I'll be traveling from the Dolomites through Innsbruck to Munich.

I'll also be in Cologne & Dusseldorf for about two days
This will be my first time in Germany

I think the keg is an issue, because it may look like a bomb.@Unicorn_Platypus any reason you can't take the keg AND a few bottles? If you are travellimg with someone, split it up? Keg in your case, bottles in the other?
