  Assuming a relatively cool and stable environment, how long can you store beer in:
  
  * Bottles
  * Wooden barrels
  * Metallic barrels
  * Cans (Yes, I really asked that.)
  
  without it loosing its carbonation and taste or going off?  
  Are there general rules that apply to any sort of beer or is this highly specific?
