You could put it in an empty soda bottle though too!

Originally Posted By NJ AP We took some Fat Tire beer home with us in our checked suitcase. You can't buy it on this side of the Mississippi and my hubby likes it. Just be careful with packing it in plastic bags (like newspaper bags) in case it breaks so it doesn't go all over the suitcase. He also wrapped each one in a tube sock. We had no problems, which was fortunate as our daughter's costume collection ended up in the same suitcase at the last minute (weight limit issues at the airport). Obviously you can't bring it in your carry on bags as they go above your liquid limits. Slante!

The guy was pretty mad & stormed off with his dripping bag after balling out the clerk.
