Keg of beer in the back?

I guess the thread title says it all. Has anyone fit a full 15.5 gallon keg of beer in the back of your Mini?

I suppose I should note that this wouldn't be a permanent installation--just hoping to get one home for a party.

Nope, haven't tried, but that does bring up several interesting ideas . . .

I have had two kegs back there but I don't have rear seats. With the seats down you sould have no problem.

That's one of the questions that should be asked before the car is bought.

Man, I thought I'd ordered all the available options, but I missed that one. Would add a whole new dimension to "Clubman."

Make sure you get stuff to brace it so it doesn't roll back and forth. I think all you'd need to do is unhook the hidey cover on the hatch and put the seats down to give you plenty of space.

It's the turkey mobile.

That looks like a lot of weight.

I have had many kegs in the back of my mini!!!! They fit perfect in the back especially snug when the seats are up. One fits perfect.
