Storage in a Keg

I'm going to be leaving in October until Christmas. Can I store carbonated beer in a keg that long? I would like to have some sitting in my fridge upon my return. If not cold in the fridge, at least in a keg and ready to go in the fridge.
Thanks
Chris

Depends on the style but almost certainly yes.

Thanks Graham,
It will more than likely be a light ale that I'll make prior to leaving.

It'll store fine so long as your sanitation is good.

I sure hope beer can keep for 3 months in a keg, I've got homebrew close to a year old on the go now.
Just beer sure all of the seals are tight, so nothing leaks while you're away.

It also depends on how many room mates you have.

Yeah, you don't want to have to call the Keg rescue unit in
