You could take an Xtracycle, buy ice with your beer. line the Freeloaders with the ice, embed the bottles, pedal away... this is a fine way to get to know your neighbors

Then again it takes me only 30 seconds to get to the beer store, as it is only a block away from my house.

I use my rear rack & pannier..it's amazing how much I can carry.. 
I think the people at the beer store think i'm a DUI since apparently that's what they do when they loose they're drivers licence.. I'd never thought of that until someone told me then one day I saw one that obviously had never used a bike before peddling to the store..dude..I don't look like that, I've get all my equipment in good shape, bike is properly tuned, etc...
I guess when someone sees somebody gettting alcohol on a bike they think they've lost thier licence or something...I couldn't imagine not wanting to ride your bike to the local stores since I get excercise, free transportation and fun! I guess the 'up' side for these people that have lost their license's is that maybe they'll discover the joy of cycling..
Cheers!

2 x 18 = 36 via panniers
A case a week? 6-10 adults...easy. One get together and it's time to hit the beer store again.

The only problem I can see with hauling beer, is you have too
wait, a while,to open it,after,all that bouncing around in your
back pack or trailer.Or you will get a beer suds bath.

I once had a homemade tandem. The guy in back would hold the handle of one of those two wheel granny grocery carts, and we'd pull it behind us. The cart perfectly held two cases of bottles. I think that's what they're designed for--alcoholic grannies.
One time my friend started swerving the granny cart while we were cruising back from the liquor store, just to see what would happen. What happened was we wrecked, the two of us, tandem, grocery cart and two cases of beer in a bloody heap.
The happy ending: not a bottle broke.

<rant> Figures, the image came from Faux News and is labeled looters2. What's even better is that when you go up a level to the folder where it came from https://www.foxnews.com/images/175932/ the previous picture is of a Hispanic guy. If a white guy had been caught by them doing the same thing it would have been labeled scavenger2

Hey, you do know that Looter Guy is famous, right?
I have know problem with his resourcefulness.
The beer would have only gone skunky anyway.

I can wedge 3 sixers of bottles inmy messenger bag.
However, I have been known at times to take TWO messenger bags for those truly epic beer runs.....shove as much beer in them as possible and roll out!

Messenger bags have this magical quality to hold almost infinite liquor.
Its like they are some ****ed up bag of holding or something.
