Careful, you can fit more than you can carry, as far as weight.

Michelob Ultra?  What a terrible waste of saddlebag space. You could have easily fit some real beer in there. :P

Drink enough real beer over time, and you will run out of load carrying capacity on your bike.

That stuff is seriously, for all intents and purposes has close to zero useable calories (calories that can go to fat.)  The only useable calories are in the 2.4 grams of carbohydrates per bottle.

I always have my rain gear, took kit, tire plug kit and 12v compressor in the left case. I fill the right case with groceries and still put a 2 liter growler from our local brew pub in the left case.

Stella Artois is some pretty good stuff.  I am partial to my Missouri brew.  My favorites are O'Fallen, St. Genevieve, and Schlafly.  I usually drink the unfiltered wheat (Hefe style) or the seasonals with fruit brews and steer clear of the pilsners and other "light weight" stuff.

At least your priorities are straight, keep the beer colder in the left case and let the groceries cook in the right case.   ;D

Stella is my beer of choice, the Bass was for company.    :chugbeer:

Update. So everything went well. There's plenty of room in the c10 for a 12 and a bottle of Jägermeister!

Are you old enough to drink ?   ;)   :chugbeer:
My personal choice is Mill St.Organic Lager...good stuff, I'm not sure if you can buy it in the US,though.

I'm old enough to drink, I just have my mom reach the top shelf of the fridge since I can't grab my own beer yet.   ;)

I always love trying a new brew.  I plan on trying as many as possible when I am out in DC this coming weekend.
