    Weekday will be hard to guess as I'm sure people will come as they get out of work...

    Does anyone take the subway there? If so, I'm curious how you haul your beer back to your place. I'm coming from Manhattan with a backpack & a gym bag. I have plastic bags to hopefully help with the "hype sweat" & for emergency storage. Let's pray that my traps are ready for the abuse.

    I took a cab. No way was I lugging two cases to/on the subway.

    I typically carry a backpack, but I rarely ever grab more than 3-4 (4) packs.

    Backpack and gym bag sound like a smart idea and should handle most of your haul, though you will be exhausted at the end of that trip. OH offer brown paper bags, but I would avoid that option as many BAers can account to them busting on the sidewalk. And if that happens, OH fan boys will engage in a Walking Dead-style frenzy to get your loose cans :wink:

    And to double check, the Galaxy cans are 16oz right? A case of them is six 4-packs? I was thinking it would only be 12 beers earlier when I planned this. Going to be heavier than I thought.

    Correct. I use a small backpack and 2 of the bigger cloth whole foods bags to carry my hauls, works well!

    Had one a couple nights ago, I actually think I liked it better than when I had it a month ago. Felt the same about the GD too.

    I haul my beers back to the city in a backpack (which fits four 4-packs) and I carry a 4-pack in each hand in a bag. Not heavy at all.

    I always take the subway and I can carry a full case in my back pack. I'm even sadistic enough to walk up all the stairs at the Smith/9th st station...

    Whole Foods sells a really good cooler bag with a shoulder strap so you can carry it. It works perfect for me every time. I also take the train to and from Manhattan to get there and use the stairs at the Smith/9th St. station as a little workout on the way back

    I take the Subway from the upper west side and never have issue carrying 2 cases. Maybe it will be a bit more hectic riding back today though than it is on a quiet Saturday. The 2/3 to 14th then F out to Smith!

    On an unrelated note, either there is a lot of posturing or the stairs are more popular than anybody would have guessed!
