I'm checking in a bag with pure beer tomorrow. Faa sets no limit but does AA have a max limit? Just did my Tampa haul and went a bit too crazy at cigar city. Everything is wrapped in bubble.

Did you know that you can go to AA.com and see what is the checked weight limit for your baggage? 50lbs.

If it helps, I can assist in bringing the weight a bit down, and perhaps exchange some pipeworks, revolution or 3floyds.

Assuming the beer's ABV is under 24%, there is no restriction. You can carry as much as you like based upon your fare and status. You may want to put a fragile sticker on it. If you are carrying beer above 24% ABV (it exists), then the max is 5L. You cannot carry alcohol with an ABV above 70%.

3floyds is interesting. I have Good Gourd and Marshal Zhukovs, Jai Alai, and thats it . I literally have a bag all of beer. i think the handle is going to break off!

surftb15

Yea thats what i thought. I have an entire carry on size, going to check tomorrow. Its all beer, wrap, and some clothes. Should be an interesting experience checking in tomorrow. Is very heavy, the handle is almost breaking off!

I've done my share of bringing beer through checked luggage. But the best is when I do my annual trip to BRU and bring back 2 checked luggage full of Belgium beer, Westvleteren, De Struise, Brouwerij Huyghe, De Garre.

So the only concern in unless you are flying in a premium cabin or are EXP/OWE, you'll be limited to 50lbs per bag before paying overweight fees. You can carry up to 100 lbs. per bag, but that gets expensive.

Man, Ill be in Munich next week. I need some Westvleteren 12! But yea, ill be safe. I didnt know if there was a hard beer limit - AA has a hard surfboard limit per bag.

Lol, I didn't know that packing a bag full of beer was a thing for intl flights. Pretty cool.

Since you will be in MUC, I strongly suggest you to go to Kloster Andech. It will be a day trip, but well worth, the view alone is more than enough, and I'm not even adding the food and beer.

Do you take the S-Bahn to get there? looks amazing.

arollins

Yes, S5 all the way to last stop, Herrsching, from there you take bus 951 that drops you close by, just a short walk up a hill. A lot of people opt to walk up the mountain from the Sbahn station instead of taking the bus, I did not try. If you buy an all zone bahn ticket the bus ride will be included, otherwise is a bit more than 2 EUR. I bought an all zone group ticket, as there where 4 of us and it included bus rides as well. It was around 55EUR, that covered up to 5 adults or 10 minors for 3 days, not bad. A single person all zone 3day ticket was about 35EUR, you can buy them right at the airport once you arrive. This was the highlight of our visit. Been to MUC many times in the past, as I work for a German company.

The only concern is whether they all survive the journey intact.

I've filled my suitcase with beer on the way back from California to my home state with a specific brand not sold outside of CA. What a relief to see the bag still dry at the baggage claim
