Hi Mark, You might also consider including homebrew in the luggage :) With budgets and all, I won't be able to attend. However, I'm sure I'm not the only Systems Librarian who homebrews.

Do you guys have any tips on transporting your brews? I've seen a bottle of tequila that exploded in a friend's suitcase on the way back from Mexico and I'd rather not smell like beer all week. -Josh Mark A.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib 2011
Wow, I'd hate to do a border crossing with exploded bottles. I've driven from PA to FL with cases in picnic coolers. Freeze some ice packs. I use the flexible plastic types. Cool brew -- then include several ice packs in the center of the cooler. -- I have never tried, but could work... Fill empties 1/2 way with water, leave uncapped (allow for expansion of H2O), freeze. Once frozen -- use your capping tool to cap the bottles, include in the mix. Be sure to label frozen water as such -- avoid confusion :) James Gilbert, BS, MLIS Systems Librarian Whitehall Township Public Library 3700 Mechanicsville Road Whitehall, PA 18052 610-432-4330 ext: 203 -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Joshua Gomez Sent: Monday, January 24, 2011 12:11 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib 2011 Do you guys have any tips on transporting your brews?

When I ported four 750mL bottles of Dogfish to Chicago via Amtrak, I wrapped the bottles in plastic bags to contain any possible explosions and then used a combination of bubble wrap and various items of winter outerwear to protect the bottles. Worked like a charm. Authentic Mexican tequila does explode, though. It's a feature. -Mike

Since we're on the topic, I highly recommend visiting the Bloomington Brewing Company. Their pale ale is excellent from what I remember as an IU SLIS student.

Another option are these beer diapers: http://goo.gl/AMCPx. I've used them on several trips and they work like a charm. I'm bringing several, so will likely have a couple left over for folks who find a Bloomington beer that they want to take back.

There are some among us who aren't even bringing luggage and will smell like beer all week. Perhaps those two facts are related...

Re: [CODE4LIB] Craft Brew Drinkup at Code4lib 2011
I am driving, so I can take any extra beer home with me! However, for airplanes, the plastic zip-lock bags and put in the middle of the suitcase wrapped with clothing has worked for me in the past, but I never had one break, so I am not sure what would happen if I did. The diapers do sound like a good idea though.
