Bag of Beer

This enchanted leather sack resembles a Bag of Holding in appearance and capacity, with an interior space much larger than its outer dimensions—roughly 2 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds of material, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet, and it always weighs 5 pounds, regardless of its contents.

The bag’s exterior is decorated with a stylized face - unlike typical Bags of Holding, this version has a reddish hue, with blazing colors and flushed cheeks, giving the face an unmistakably tipsy, contented expression. The heavy-lidded eyes and curling smile appear more vivid at night or when alcohol is nearby, and it occasionally emits a faint scent of malt and hops.

However, the Bag of Beer has a unique property: any non-living item placed into the bag is magically broken down and fermented into bottled beer by the next dawn.

Fermentation Magic

At dawn, all items placed inside the bag since the previous dawn vanish, and are replaced with sealed glass bottles of rich, frothy beer. The number of bottles produced depends on the size and quantity of items inserted (roughly one bottle per 5 pounds of material, to a maximum of 100 bottles).

Each bottle features a small label (written in Common) that briefly describes the “flavor profile” subtly influenced by the original item(s). For example, a steel sword might have metallic aftertaste, while a burnt scroll could taste like smoked beer. On rare and unfortunate occasions, a completely random mundane item might yield a bottle of either “Romper’s Original” or “Imperator’s Reserve”— no one knows how the bag learned of these brand, but some believe the bag itself drank them once, and never forgot.

Magic Brews

If a magic item is placed inside, its essence is distilled into the beer. Each bottle produced from a magic item functions like a potion, chosen by the DM or determined randomly (see the Magic Brew Effects Table below). Drinking a bottle of magic beer requires an action and grants the effect of the potion for its normal duration.

Important: Once an item has been transformed into beer, it cannot be recovered.

Usage

• Retrieving a bottle from the bag takes an action.

• If the bag is turned inside out, all unconverted items (those placed after the last dawn) fall out. Bottled beer is not expelled.

• The bag must be set right before it can be used again.

Hazards

• If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it bursts in a frothy explosion of high-pressure bottles. Creatures within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 slashing damage from glass shards and be knocked prone by flying bottlecaps.

• Placing a Bag of Beer inside another extradimensional space (like a Portable Hole or Handy Haversack) destroys both items and opens a frothy vortex to the Astral Plane. Creatures within 10 feet are sucked in and arrive somewhere in the Astral Plane, hungover.
