Are you planning with your girl gang for a getaway? Do you know what can add an exciting twist to your trip?- visiting a brewery! While traveling, you must consider stopping at a brewery to experience fine-tasting beers. It would be one of those cherries- on- top- of- the- cake situations as you will get to taste freshly brewed beer which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Nothing compares to the feeling of sipping freshly brewed beer along with your girls during a getaway. A beer trip along with your girls is the next thing worth considering whenever your traveling plan takes shape.
Packing your stuff for vacation is a kind of struggle, and we all have been through it. Making an essential checklist before packing your stuff would make things a lot easier, and there will be slightly fewer chances of errors.
For a girl beer trip, you can leave the headache of making a checklist on us so you can get an idea of the essentials you need to carry with you around on your vacay.
Here is the list of things to carry on your gal getaway-
- Extra Bag
Planning to head to a brewery on your vacation and thinking of coming back empty-handed is a mistake. You might end up tasting a beer that you want to bring home. Carrying an extra bag will keep you from the hassle of running around and looking for a bag.
Your family back at home will be expecting presents from you. Some of the great options for gifts are T-shirts, sling bags,gel nail polish colors, jewelry, etc. An extra bag will come in very handy for gifts that you end up buying.
If you forgot to buy a gift for someone, pass the fancy beer you brought as a gift. Beer is a great gift too. Folks specially request their friends to get them fancy beer and wine from places. All you need to do is roll it up in fancy wrapping paper, and voila-gift is ready.
- Bottle Opener
You will regret it if you do not carry it with you. A beer bottle opener is one of the essentials if you want to enjoy drinking beer while traveling in the car or just chilling on the beach.
A keychain bottle opener or even a corkscrew would be just fine for opening any beer bottle.
- Sealable Plastic Bag along with Bubble wrap
If you are planning to travel by air, you will have to carry a few more things to ensure the smooth transportation of beer bottles. Traveling by air is quite risky, especially for all the fragile stuff inside the luggage you will carry.
Mishandling of baggage at the airport is common, and many times your fragile belongings can get ruined until it is securely packed. Beer bottles can break if not packed and secured. A leaking beer bottle can mess up the rest of your belongings inside the bag.
Always make sure that you carry a sealable plastic bag and bubble wrap. You can wrap the beer bottle in bubble wrap and put it inside the sealable plastic bag, and try to get as much air out before sealing. You can keep it inside the luggage and cover it with all the dirty clothes. In this way, the chances of bottle breakage are very minimal. If the bottle breaks, then the leakage stays in the plastic bag instead of ruining all your stuff.
- Carry a Growler
Carrying a growler or a cooler with you on your road trip is essential to keep your beer chilled all the time. Beer will not taste its best if it has become lukewarm and you don’t want to drink a tasteless beer on your vacation.
You can bring some beer bottles from the brewery at home if you have a growler or a cooler. The beer will not lose its taste if kept chilled and cold.
- Carry Cash
You must have some cash on you while traveling because not every place will accept cards. It is better to be ready with some dollar bills so you will not face trouble when buying local stores and food trucks along the way.
You may also have to pay in cash at some breweries, so it is essential to carry money in hand.
- Card and Board Games
You can have some fun along with your girlfriends by playing cards or scrabble while sipping some beer. It will be a great activity on your trip, and you will enjoy it. Avoid using your smartphones and carry a camera for clicking pictures on your vacation.
- No extra luggage
Avoid carrying things that you will barely use on the trip. Sometimes we pack a lot of stuff that we do not need and get swamped when we have to manage it back into the luggage. Always pack mini packs of moisturizer and other skin essentials. Carry a pair of shoes that are comfortable and stylish rather than having two or three pairs.
Conclusion
Once a year, you should plan such vacations to treat yourself and enjoy life. If you don’t have the budget to go somewhere far, look for places closer to your location and plan a small getaway. It will be refreshing to come back home with some great memories with your female friends.
