Important Safety Question

Is it safe to transport full 12-packs of bottled beer in the refrigerator without worrying about them breaking. I was thinking of possibly putting them into cardboard 6-pack carriers, but I thought I'd ask if someone has a better idea. And NO--- I'm not switching to cans! Thanks. Now I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it...

  • I think they are safe as a 12 pk. My 12pk of preference just stacks the bottles on top of one another. They don't have enough wiggle room to break. It is when they get loose that the glass might "clink" enough to break.

    With loose bottles I use the door shelf, alternating between beverage, ketchup, beverage, mustard, beverage, water, etc.......keeping a bit of plastic between the bottles.
  • We have lots of glass items in the refrigerator (not beer, but all kinds of glass bottled soft drinks), not to mention things like glass pickle jars and wine bottles. Never has one broken. We put as much in the door as possible. Never a problem.

    Once left an open Diet Coke in a can opened in the refrigerator. Hit the road, reached the next destination, opened the refrigerator and saw the can ... OH YUCK we thought! BUT not a drop or splash anywhere! Amazing! Maybe we dodged a bullet? That was a long time ago. Ever since, we double check the refrigerator for open containers or containers that might pop their top when on the road.

    Pack with great joy! Live free! and Enjoy the brew!
  • Why not? How do your think they made it to the store from the brewery?
  • I have never an issue. Hell I fill the door holders with bare glass bottles. Never a broken bottle to date.
