Cans in checked luggage: Doable or moronic?

I have never had an issue putting cans in my checked bags, and have done so a half dozen times. I usually put 2 cans per zip lock bag and then put those in a giant one so they stay together. Knock on wood, no issues...

Good luck

Edit: standard checked bag cushioning and precautions apply. Lots of bubble wrap!

 

I've never done cans but maybe do the same thing I do with my bottles and put them in ziplock bags or something that is not your clothing?

 

I brought a few cans back in my last trip no problem.

 

No problemo

 

I suggest you put them in your carry-on & try to smuggle them past security. Or put on really big boots & stuff them in the toes. Or, I know you could put them in that Heizenberg goatee of yours.

 

I brought cans in my last trip with no real padding, but after reading this, I'm going to zip-lock them for safety the next few times.

 

Doable. Ziplocs a necessity.

 

I have put many cases of Heady in checked baggage, never a casualty, never special wrap .

 

I have checked in cans numerous times without any issues. As a few have mentioned above, I always put them in ziplock bags just to be safe.

 

Brought a 4 pack of gandhi-bot back on my last trip. Used a Seal line bag and they showed up on the other side just fine. A little expensive, but a good investment if you do a lot canoeing, kayaking, beer hauling, etc.

 

I transported a few Surly packs in my checked luggage earlier this year with no problems. I think the secret may be to leave them in packs and wrap clothing around the bricks.

 

I brought back some Tallgrass 8-bit and Buffalo Sweat and only wrapped them up in clothing. TSA checked my bag and did not do a good of rapacking. Ingot home to find one of the cans had been pierced by a cork and caged bottle in my bag. Good news, it was not the stout. Lesson learned, keep cans and bottles separate. Ziplock bags are not a bad idea either.
