I have tried to use the search function several times to no avail, and I am almost certain someone else has asked this, but are 5L min-kegs allowed at Bonnaroo? I know no kegs are allowed, but mini-kegs are more like an oil can on steroids, and it would seem that for a festival that ostensibly has the secondary goals of being green and minimizing trash, that this would be the ideal way of bringing beer. Anyone know?

Big ups whoreshack for the response. I am going to bring one of them, but just one, because I keep envisioning some scenario where a "security" person flush with their new found power ganks all my beer and becomes the first fatality of the festival. The balance will be made up of can upon can of beer.
Kind of sucks that we will end up generating this big trash pile of cans, but C'est la vie I guess.

Haha, yeah maybe I am not being creative enough. Put a wig on it and make it a head for a love doll? I just HATE uncertainty, and guess I'm not going to know till I get there. Wish they'd formally clarify this on the rules though. My first year going, and I don't want any drama. Starting to wonder if the whole thing is already way too commercialized for me to enjoy also. I've heard of inmates getting searched less than Bonnaroo attendees. Although the Supreme Court just said strip searching people over parking tickets is OK, so maybe that'll be the admission policy next year.

Yeah, I was wondering about a keg.. we have a pretty large group this year and a keg is def the most economical/ecological way to go. But you're saying it is against the rules to bring them?
I've never had a super invasive search (knock on wood) but it would be a the biggest buzzkill if I lost the beer for the entire camp on the way in.

A crowd close to us one year brought like 5 Hiney Mini kegs. That's all they drank the whole time. Said security didn't give them any stress. You should be fine.
nightmara, yeah it clearly states in the rules no kegs, which I assume means the 1/2, 1/4, & 1/3 bbl ones. I asked about mini-kegs because even though they have "keg" in the name they're really not one in my opinion.
Oh whoreshack, I bet you're a riot after a couple beers. Make sure all the emergency beers have a tiny sign attached to them that reads: "pull tab in case of emergency"
hippiechicksrule, I am all for naked hippie chicks. EDIT: I just realized you're a dude. No way man, keep your pants on, lol.
@natedgreat, ok, paranoia subsiding.
You can get Bell's Oberon, Two Hearted, and Best Brown Ale in mini-kegs, all of which are great. Check your local beer distributor and they might be able to order you some if they don't have it in stock. They come in 2-packs though.

I wanted a definitive answer, so I emailed Bonnaroo. Here's the official answer:
"Thanks for your interest in Bonnaroo. No kegs, not even mini-kegs will be allowed inside the festival grounds."
Surprise surprise. Having a hard time retaining a positive outlook going into this because there seems to be about 3x as many rules related to abject greed than ones related to safety, the latter of which I would happily oblige.
