Is this the most hipster bikepacking accessory?
To be fair, I'm not sure it's marketed as a bikepacking accessory, but it's on bikepacker.com.

And to test out the swear filter: microbrewery, hops, IPA.

Hipster you say..... got to be a beard... real or not.... male or female... no face fuzz then you are just so not with it man.
The beer keg things, yes agree hipster (or steampunk) but you cant beat a beard as the most hipster bikepacking accessory-

Re: Is this the most hipster bikepacking accessory?
The yanks obviously have a different definition of growler than the one I'm familiar with. 

Re: Is this the most hipster bikepacking accessory?
lol... I have something very much like that on my purchase list for when I'm in the USA next. It's not bikepacking related as far as I was aware, and I had zero idea it made me hipster!
Edit - Nope, it's that exact one.
I don't think anyone's ever accused me of being anything like a hipster. Even when I had a beard most people went with "domestic terrorist".

Re: Is this the most hipster bikepacking accessory?
I can think of a few?
Spd compatable brown leather brogues?
Ray ban cycling glasses?
Anything by R.a.p.h.a?
Gps pre programed with every coffee shop in existence (except the one youre thinking of, that ones too main stream)
Hell if we're not taking just accessories them surely every fatbike and gravel grinder on the market
Come to think of it, are we all not just the hipsters of the cycling world, weve all been bikepacking since way before it was cool

Hipster is an anagram of Shitrep, who wants one of them.
That said I have mounted a grape-press onto a rear rack and have linked a rod from the cranks to squeeze the juice out. Mrs Mac has mumbled some witchery at it so that it rapidly ferments for later in the ride so that I can slurp on some cheekiness as I nibble at my vegan cheese (£100/kilo.)
Ironically, my beardiness can only be accomplished with the assistance of recently deceased squirrels and knicker elastic.
What's the age limit for cool? I think my ship may have sailed (and hit an iceberg.)

Talk for yourself - I've not even been bikepacking since it was cool.weve all been bikepacking since way before it was cool
I do however own an increasing amount of things to attach to my bike so hopefully won't be long.

Snap, the closest I have been is on the grand union canal so called towpath Birmingham to Milton Keynes with a stay in the MK Premier Inn

Roy from Beerbabe has one and seems please with it. Not seen a picture of it on any of their bikes yet.
