Have beer, must travel

So you scored that limited-release barleywine; now how do you get it home? Here’s what you need to get your beer safely to Point B.

1. A hard-side suitcase like the ultralight Rimowa Salsa Air (from $425) protects your precious cargo.

2. Slip a bottle into a VinniBag ($28), inflate the chamber, and clip it snug; the air pocket keeps beer safe, and the seal’s waterproof.

3. Dual, re-stickable watertight seals, bubble-pack guts and a vinyl shell make the HopSkin ($10 for 3) ultratough.

4. Can’t wait to pop that bottle? Squishable silicone Spruce Cups ($20 for two) make ideal “glassware” on the road.
