We did this once for 2h flight with friends. We simply put them into the luggage, with a simple with a knot bag around it in case of rupture. One of the side benefits was that the beer was nice and cold after the flight.
One consideration is protecting the bottle, and other posters have suggested socks, clothes, or bubble wrap for this – perfectly sensible. However, you may also be interested in protecting the contents of your suitcase in the event of a leak. I’m more experienced transporting wine than beer, but the same principles apply: pressure changes may cause liquids to leak.
My standard procedure is to put the item in a sturdy plastic bag (hotel laundry bag is often a good source), roll that up and tape it up, then wrap the whole in cling film / saran wrap (this is your waterproofing), then wrap that up in bubble wrap. This has protected me against both leaks and (once) a broken bottle – no idea what force was applied to the case to break a bottle through bubble wrap, but not a drop of wine escaped. I now ensure the bottles are right in the middle of the case.

- What exactly is a open-jaw flight?
Socks as @max said are a great idea.
Tons Plastic bubble wrap ( that’s what i did). all my guiness bottles and cans sustained a high atmospheric flight due to a storm from dublin to barcelona without breaking, loosing gas , or opening alone, and had a good taste afterwards.
Plus, if something breaks inside a big bubble wrap ball, nothing else will soak.
Also, as @max said, laptop as carry on if you don’t want to find a surprise.
- Will an Iranian or Kuwaiti visa or stamp in my passport pose a problem on a future visit to Israel?
- Why do return flight costs vary depending on the country of origin?
Socks, put the beers in socks and/or roll them in your own cloths.
On a side note, I would not put a laptop in check-in luggage if possible. Take it with you as a carry-on.
