In New York City, one week out of the year, a little messenger bag store does a beer for bags promotion. They tell you what beer to trade for a bag and then invite you back for a party to drink the beer people brought. My two friends and I, one of my roomies and my birthday bitch, (we have the same birthday but she's a few hours older than me) decided to participate this year. My BB price compared distributors. We found 2 that had good prices for the beer needed. They both got cases of hoegaarden and I got a case of Grolsch. Can you imagine the stares thrown at a white boy and 2 gurls luggin cases of brew thru Harlem? Hilarious. When we got downtown. We didn't feel so awkward as people smiled, knowin where we were goin. The shop was filled to the brim wit beer. Cases were stacked from floor to ceilin. After they take the beer, you get your bag and take a pic. The pic if an invite to a party the last nite where you drink the beer everyone bought. Don't believe me, check out the website

They also have a date in Toronto. If you look. The bags are awesome colors and sizes and kinda pricy. Tradin for beer saves you half the price. I got a "Status Belly" which is regularly $55. My case of Grolsch was only $28.
