OK, going to a get together, can't show up empty handed. Will a standard 12 pack of bottled beer, say Dos Equis, fit in a saddlebag? Serious question.
;D Thanks
-
Yes! It fits!
-
Woot! I just had a feeling that someone here would know.
Thanks brother! :thumbs:
Now I have to empty out one bag so I can fit 1 in each side.
-
Have had a 12 pack in the side case many times.
-
Along the same lines, how is Shiner Bock? It's kind of new in the N. IL. area, at least I don't recall seeing it around. I prefer fuller bodied beers with some flavor over the 'lites', Blue Moon, Anchor Steam, Leinies and the like. I'd like to drink more of the small batch brews but the cost is a little prohibiting. So any one drink Shiner?
-
Yes, and there should be room for some ice in there too. You DON'T want to arrive with warm beer. ;D

Then you should like Shiner Bock. Not as intense as something like a stout but tons of flavor.
-
I'll give it a shot. Thanks

Great TEXAS beer. :chugbeer:

Just be sure you wait a bit after riding to open them ;)
-
yes, and a passenger too (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/bigthumb.gif)

Timsatx, yeah, probably a good idea. :thumbs:
Well that answers my question on which bike I'll buy next. C14, hands down. TWO 12packs per sidecase.
-
With a top box, you can be the beer wagon.
And yes, Shiner Bock is good.
Shiner puts out small run seasonal stuff that never seems to leave Texas. I'll miss that when I move.
-
A case of cans fits just fine in the sidebag of a C10.
With room for ice.
-
If you like Shiner Bock then you'll really like Shiner Black Lager.
-
:rotflmao: on the Urgent!
Why am I NOT surprised you guys know this?
So, on these lines, what's the highest number of beer cans that can fit in a C10 sidebag? And C14? Assuming no ice...
:chugbeer:
-
The side cases will hold a 24-pack in each one, I know from experience... :) :chugbeer:

Ugg, maybe of cans.
If you are into that sorta thing...

Michelob Ultra? What a terrible waste of saddlebag space. You could have easily fit some real beer in there. :P

Here in the NorthEast, Yeungling is better in cans. Specifically, the 24-packs. They're brewed and canned at the actual "America's Oldest Brewery" in Pottsville, PA. I ride with a guy that works there, running the bottling/canning machine. (The 12-packs come from their big, modern brewery in FL. - And the fluorescent lights in the coolers do horrible things to beer in bottles.)
-
Careful, you can fit more than you can carry, as far as weight.

Drink enough real beer over time, and you will run out of load carrying capacity on your bike.
That stuff is seriously, for all intents and purposes has close to zero useable calories (calories that can go to fat.) The only useable calories are in the 2.4 grams of carbohydrates per bottle.
-
No problemo
-
I always have my rain gear, took kit, tire plug kit and 12v compressor in the left case. I fill the right case with groceries and still put a 2 liter growler from our local brew pub in the left case.
-
Stella Artois is some pretty good stuff. I am partial to my Missouri brew. My favorites are O'Fallen, St. Genevieve, and Schlafly. I usually drink the unfiltered wheat (Hefe style) or the seasonals with fruit brews and steer clear of the pilsners and other "light weight" stuff.

At least your priorities are straight, keep the beer colder in the left case and let the groceries cook in the right case. ;D
-
Exactly!

Stella is my beer of choice, the Bass was for company. :chugbeer:

Update. So everything went well. There's plenty of room in the c10 for a 12 and a bottle of Jägermeister!

Are you old enough to drink ? ;) :chugbeer:
My personal choice is Mill St.Organic Lager...good stuff, I'm not sure if you can buy it in the US,though.

I'm old enough to drink, I just have my mom reach the top shelf of the fridge since I can't grab my own beer yet. ;)
I always love trying a new brew. I plan on trying as many as possible when I am out in DC this coming weekend.
