Is it allowed and advisable to transport beer in checked luggage? [duplicate]

I'd like to transport a six-pack of local beer from Canada to France. The amount of alcohol falls well below the amount I'm legally allowed to bring into Europe. My question concerns the logistics of transporting beer. I can't bring it in my carry-on since it's a liquid, and the simplest alternative seems to be to pack it in my suitcase (well cushioned in clothes to prevent breakage due to impacts/bumps). I'm concerned about the temperature of the baggage compartment, though. Will it be too cold, and cause the bottles to freeze and burst?

I'm flying Air Transat.

Ah: this pretty well answers my question. I guess temperature isn't an issue. Breakage is, but that can be avoided by wrapping the bottles in t-shirts.

Can beer cans explode in checked luggage? ? No. In the cargo hold, just as in the cabin, there is a pressurized chamber. You won't have to worry about air pressure destroying your beer cans.

Can I check a bag full of beer?

The law allows the Transportation Security Administration to check the contents of any luggage before it is put on a plane. It is not unusual for checked bags with bottles or cans to be inspected. As long as they are in the original packaging, beer is not a problem.
