Chrome Metropolis - Beer Hauling Question

I bought a Chrome Metropolis a little while back (great bag btw). So far I have been hauling back 24 can case without issue from my local beverage distributor (the narrow cases that look kinda like brief cases; Yuengling, PBR, Sly Fox, etc.). I have yet to try your standard 24 case of bottles or a 30 can case. Anyone try to carry one of these in their Metropolis? Thanks.

My mini-metro can comfortably hold 12 Miller High-Lifes, or a 5th of Buffalo Trace, a 5th of Tanqueray (Bombay Sapphire might work), and a bottle of Sake.

Oh and that's with ice.

It will fit easily. Will it be comfortable? Probs not.

right. thought about that. does a 30 pack fit well without cans spilling out of the bag when riding home?

You could always go to the distributor with your bag and check it out before purchase.
