So when is a craft brewer going to do this? I’d rather hike with beer than wine.

A beer named Trail Magic would be perfect for this.

Message NobleSquirrel beers 3437 º places 209 º 12:50 Sun 4/8/2012 carbonation is the real issue with a bag. What’s wrong with cans?
Message JMerritt places 72 º 12:52 Sun 4/8/2012 I carry grain and brew at base camp in my Dutch oven.

Message suprchunk beers 2996 º places 147 º 12:53 Sun 4/8/2012 Girardin already does. Not the same packaging of course, but still a bag.
Message hopscotch beers 11919 º places 307 º 12:59 Sun 4/8/2012 Bagged beer for the beach would also be useful. Hiking, beachgoing, parkgoing, whatever; bags are easier to ice-down than cans and don’t take up as much space.

Message drowland P beers 11069 º places 430 º 13:01 Sun 4/8/2012 Yeah, I remember one of the Belgian brewers coming out with a bagged gueze.

Message JoePeesie beers 924 º places 68 º 13:04 Sun 4/8/2012 Cans are good, but as an outdoors person bags are way better. Easier to keep in the cooler/ carry in a back pack & what not. There are a number of beers (hop stoopid jumps to mind) that I would totally grab a couple bags of before a camping trip.
Message JMerritt places 72 º 13:27 Sun 4/8/2012 In all seriousness, how well would a carbonated beverage in a bag work? Wouldn’t the bag become completely rigid pretty much immediately after being filled?
Message reggiedunlop beers 3729 º places 182 º 14:29 Sun 4/8/2012 Originally posted by JMerritt I carry grain and brew at base camp in my Dutch oven. I skipp the brewing and give women dutch ovens in their tent at basecamp after drinking dales and old chub. It should read "pack it it, get her drunk, break her off, pack it out."
