I would never do that. We lived in europe and travelled back and forth.
Never transported beer. The cargo hold may be hot or freezing. The beer
may freeze or it may pop open (because the hold may not be pressurized)
or
it may be hot. The cap is not meant for high altitudes. The cabin may
be
pressurized (but only to about 9000 feet - 3000 Metres.) Not worth it.
Almost any European beer can be had, anywhere, and with better shipping
quality than flying in an airplane.
Most cargo holds are pressurized and kept at acceptable temperatures,
after all, they do transport live animals in them.
All cargo holds are pressurized to the same level as the cabin as it is a
lot easier to build the fuselage as a pressure vessel than it is to build a
floor that will accept a pressure difference between hold and cabin.
However, the hold may not be heated unless the Captain knows there is
temperature sensitive cargo in there, such as live animals.
