Bruery 2016 RS/HS Allocations

well you guys just talked me out of it. The search continues for a bag to bring bottles to shares. The soft sided coleman will continue to make visits.

 

I love my Polar Bear soft cooler. Water tight and way more insulated, but is a bit bigger.

 

for what it's worth the FW soft bags are really good. very padded and insulated. has served me well in many beer transport scenarios

 

I've been using one of these for 2 years now and it's been just what I needed. The dividers are soft and held in by velcro so you can configure the inside according to needs. The outside pocket is big enough to hold glassware, although it's not padded. The bag doesn't have a ton of temperature insulation but I usually just toss a coldpack or two on top and close it up and things stay cold for a few hours.

 

Get an rtic 20 soft side if you wanna keep bottles and growlers cold for a while to transport for shares and stuff. Works perfect!!


And I can't wait for m15!!

 

Just in case anyone may not have heard, the Terruex tasting room has bottles of Ruebarb to go. I had a friend stop by early and pick me up 1 bottle, he mentioned there was no limit as well. I am not sure if they have anything left but I figured I'd throw it out there.

 

do you have a link? I can't seem to find theres although recommended a few times.

 

two boxes with my last 3 months of Bruery beers arrive today. It's Christmas in July! Ok carry on.

 

Yeti makes a soft bag that's good for carrying bottles/growlers.

Also: Holy shit, $300 for a cooler?!

 

Yeti's biggest cooler is around $1,500.00.

 

My hoarders bag has been amazing since I got it. I think the main complaint I hear are it leaks.... so don't put loose ice in it.

I don't like soggy bottles anyhow so I just freeze 3-4 500mL water bottles and wedge them in with my beers. If the bottles start at fridge temp, I've been able to keep them cold for 12+ hours this way.

 

I personally use the bag for transport or to people's houses where I can put the bottles in the fridge to avoid icing the Bruery bag. The best non Yeti soft cooler Ive had is:

and pair that with

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IXVHYXY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That pair has kept my bottles so cold that Ive had to take my stouts out to warm up after hours of being in the bag. I also like the plus that's a pretty comfortable backpack. My friend has a variety of Yetis including the "soft" bag and that will definitely out preform everything. Just my own experience with coolers and transport.

 

For the price, the Yeti should go out to the Bruery, pick up my bottles and deliver them to my house properly chilled.

Saying that I know have cooler envy and will probably buy one this afternoon.

 

huh, i don't see it on their site any more. i got mine at the FW store in Paso a long time ago. I know i saw them recently at the FW venice store

it looks like this.

some of them have the 805 logo on them. would be happy to pick one up at FW Venice and ship if really wanted one.

 

LOL @ $300 backpack cooler. My $30 backpack cooler with IcyCools fake ice cubes has kept my beers cold for 3 summers, nearly 8 hours a day.

aah well, burn $$ if you can I guess.

 

all this bag talk is making me forget what thread im in.....so back on topic lol

 

I use a 14x14x12 soft cooler with a shoulder strap that I got free by opening a new bank account 10 years ago. It can easily handle a growler (or two) and a couple 750s, no problem. I throw in a couple freezer packs and stays cold all day. You can find a bunch of similar items to what I have just by searching soft cooler on Amazon and they are pretty cheap ($30-$40) and last forever.

 

Perfect for your $40 bottles of beer. Lol

I have a hopper 30. A little bigger than the 20. I didn't want to buy it, but my wife really did. Now I love the thing. Perfect for beer, growlers, etc.

 

How well does it stand up in serious heat. I am looking for a soft cooler for river trips at 100+ degrees. Cheers
