This is my old bike lightly loaded. With the LHT and nice racks I can get quite a bit more but I have no pics.

Well I took this before installing 203mm rear disc and curved handle bars, but this maiden voyage
for this bike, if you look very closely, was to pick up beer.

I LOVE this ad.


My own contribution.



Those Wald rear baskets are perfectly sized to accommodate the width of a six pack. Coincidence? I think not.

New Belgium really needs to expand their distribution out East. I am very much missing my favorite brewing company, even with the many tasty breweries in PA....

These Avenir grocery panniers are a perfect fit for a 12 pack.



I could carry 2 if I felt a particularly thirsty weekend comming on.

Years ago I saw a pic of a recumbent designed to transport kegs just behind/below the seat. Dammit if I can find that pix again. In the meantime this creation will have to suffice.

It by Metrofiets.

If that is not enough beer-on-a-bike, we are gonna have to get serious.

Y'know, it just occurred to me that the OP did a pretty good job of lining up those 6 bottles considering he had just finished draining them.

Funny, that's the first thing I did with my xtracycle. (Yes, complete overkill for a 6-pack, but hey...)

Only a half, but I've carried two full-size empties before, one on either side.

Looks like a keg to me. I'll take 13 gallons of good beer over 15 gallons of Bud, not that I'd turn down either. One and a half gallons of Franklin's brew. IPA, Double Vision, Rubber Chicken Red.

My Lord! How does that bike handle when it's loaded like that?

So, does a wine run count?

I got the call from the "make your own" wine store that my wine was ready for bottling.
Loaded up the empties and struck off.

The wine store is in the same plaza as my late lamented bike shop. These folks were in the process of opening just as I was closing down my store.
In order to qualify as "make your own",the client has to physically bottle and cork the wine, but not much else.

Isn't that a corker? A neat labour saving device. Put the cork in the hole, put the bottle under it and close the door. Cork is pneumatically pushed home.


Loaded up and ready to haul home.


Cheers!

I don't think the phrase 'wine run' will ever become as widely used as 'beer run', but...

That's an interesting business model, Dan. I've never heard of anything like that before. What are the advantages to being a make your own wine store rather then a commercial winemaker? I imagine getting permits to produce wine in a shopping plaza might be difficult, but I suppose not much different from operating a brewpub where beer is made on the premises.

I don't know all the legal ins and outs, and I'm sure it varies in each jurisdiction, but the production of adult beverages is certainly regulated in one form or another just about everywhere.
The "make your own model"at least here in Ontario, enables consumers to bottle their own wine without paying the excise tax they would otherwise pay if buying from a commercial bottler.
I'm sure the operators of these stores have studied the definition of the law to determine exactly what the involvement of the buyer must be to fit the legal definition of home made wine.
Seems to be working for these folks anyway, and I'm more than happy with the end product.

I don't know much about the wine industry, but BYO "Brew Your Own" is pretty popular with people who are thinking about homebrewing but aren't ready to buy the equipment yet. Its great because it is a controlled atmosphere with experts on the equipment as well as a well stocked pantry of ingredients to make any style you want. It is a little more expensive per bottle than homebrewing is, but still a pretty awesome thing!

I prefer to make my own though.

Though right now I am drinking some Long Trail Double Bag...what a beer!
