    Strange question. Anyone know where I can get one. Preferably lager. Around £15. Tesco have a few ale ones but I ideally want lager.

    5 litre job.

    Thanks in advance.

    In my experience, I'd avoid them and just get a crate in. They can't get the pressures to keep lager properly and it comes out tasting flat and stale after the first pint.

    Sorry that's no help! I'd imagine the Killingbeck Asda will do them in Leeds.

    See if Lidl have them, usually pils or octoberfest. Sometimes Aldi have some aswell.

    Cheers everyone, advice taken on board regarding them going flat.

    Will have a think about it any maybe try Lidl tomorrow which i'd forgotten about.

    Asda at Killingbeck was the first place i'd tried, and got no joy.

    Iceland say they don't have it in store near me, but thanks anyway.

    No real point to buying a mini keg unless its cheaper, canned lager is exactly the same in a 440ml tin as in the mini keg. The only point for me would be
    that some of the Lidl/Aldi supermarkets have German breweries beers in them which are far more likely to be of better quality, than the run of the mill UK brewed stuff.
