For the next week, the Crumpler stores are running their famous beer for bags program. The idea is simple: you bring in a specified amount of beer, and they give you a bag. At the end of the week, all the beer is used to fuel a huge party. The nice lady who runs the Spring Street branch told us they've been doing this for years in Australia, but this is the first time they've tried the program in New York. Here is the full trade-in schedule, courtesy of Thrillist:
The Winkler: 4 cans Boddingtons
The Bundle: 40oz OE + 12-pack PBR
The Aggott: 12-pack Brooklyn Lager
The McBains: 12 cans Guinness
The Moderate Embarrassment: 1 case Sapporo + 1 bottle Soy Sauce
The Barney Rustle: 1 case Coopers + 2 Fosters Oil Cans
The Complete Seed: 1 case Leffe + 1 bottle Chimay
The Holy Bean Bag Chair: 1 case Pacifico + 1 bag Limes
No word yet on the giveaway party, but we'll post details when they become available.

That shit is week!
Crumpler bags are made by children in Vietnam!
They think you\'re stupid!
The bags cost much less than a case of good beer!
Messengers don\'t use Crumpler! Ask any messenger.
Not a messenger bag, a cheap imitation!
The fabric, \"Chickentex\" is a Cordura knockoff that tears & frays! Only looks like Cordura!
The bags are not water proof!
Stay away from Crumpler if you want a bag, they are fakes that think you\'re a dumb hipster to give them your money & beer!
This promo is here because they caught flak for their labour practices in Vietnam! Do you think they fixed the problem?
They didn\'t, still being made by children. Even Nike & PUMA have better standards!
Crumpler makes you look like a douche when you wear their bags.
I asked the Austalian messengers if Crumpler ever ran this shit in Australia.
THEY HAVE NEVER DONE THIS IN AUSTRALIA
They also ripped off the promotors of a big race, pulled out their sponsorship $$ -just after- the flyers/phamplets/posters/banners/JERSEYS were printed, printing costs $5000.00!
hey george,
dave here from crumpler australia - hows it going?
to set the record straight
crumpler australia + usa does not make bags in vietnam
we have always traded our products for beer, bike parts, weed, whatever and the beer for bags sale has been held in australia for the last 3 years
we have never ripped off promotors of any race - perhaps you can share the info of this so called rip off?
quite a few messengers in australia use our stuff - actually came accross a few in NY last week using the Bees Knees as well
we dont think people are stupid unless they listen to your ill-informed comments
happy to confirm facts with you whenever you care to check first
