As the hottest months of the year are fast approaching,  Cool Materials wants to make a small Public Service Announcement to their readers. Please remember to keep those beers cold, guys. No good beer should go to waste, and with the sun preparing to give us its worst, we all need to do our part to make sure those beers stay frosty. It’s serious business to us, and if it’s not yet serious business to you, we hope a look at these ridiculous beer cooling inventions will convince you otherwise.

The YETI Colster

You know YETI for their incredible coolers, so it should be no surprise that when they do things like simple beer koozies, they really do beer koozies. Over-engineered to include YETI’s patented Load-and-Lock Gasket, as well as double-wall vacuum insulation, and a No Sweat design, YETI’s Colster beer koozie will keep beers cold and hands warm and dry for hours. At $25 it’s probably the most expensive beer koozie in the world, but if you take cold beer as seriously as we (and they) do, it’s a no-brainer. $25

Merry Garden Cooler Picnic Table

Beers and backyard cookouts go together like loafers and bare feet, but for whatever reason, no one ever gets it right. People either leave their beer up to the elements, parking them on hot tables in a hotter sun with no protection, or leave them in a cooler far, far out of reach. This Merry Garden Cooler Picnic Table keeps the action right where it belongs, right in the middle of the table. The table itself is made from excellent quality Canadian Hemlock, which means it’s durable and tough enough to stand up to harsh outdoor climates, and the cooler, which is built directly into the center of the table, comes with a drain plug so your table doesn’t turn into a wading pool. Fill it with ice and all your guests’ favorite beers, then, when the party’s over, pull the drain plug and go. $240
