You could look up the dimensions then either make an educated guess or take some measurements.

Better to just ask someone who has one and may have done it/tried it. The 5L size suggests it's a large enough volume.

Some of us prefer self-reliance for simple things.

the outer dimensions are irrelevant.
gallifreyan luggage is dimensionally transcendental.

Two beers or not two beers? That is the question.

Never seen one, but looking at pictures on the web, bag scaled against the Brooks seat it's strapped to, I'd say, no you cannot be installing 6 beers in a Millbrook, unless they are sans cans. (though it might take 6 of those little cans cheapass airlines sometimes give you).

I bought the bag and tried it. It works with cans. Bottles are too tall.
