The beers a lady (or gent) stows in their handbag. Usually in preparation for a quick 'pop in' visit to a friend or can be perfect as roadies for a longer trip. The handbag beer is generally insulated by the handbag and the handbag contents and is designed to be drunk within the hour. A classy lady (or gent) always comes prepared! Originated in Darwin in the Northern Territory.
