Keeping the Beer Cold


We've all been there. We had to transport large amounts of beer for one reason or another. Were you able to keep it cool? It's not a good thing when you arrive at your destination and the beer is warm.

Ice is the main issue. Most of the time when the beer gets warm, it's because there isn't enough ice. But, there are also other reasons why the beer gets warm. Most of my suggestions are going to come across as obvious. But, I have some other solutions when you don't have what you need to get the job done.

Cooler

Of course, to keep beer cold you need a cooler. Make sure you have enough coolers. If you have a few cases of beer, you'll need a few extra coolers. Either that or you are rotating your beer through slowly melting ice and you won't be happy when you are at the last of your beer and you're drinking it warm.

Cover

If you are taking your beer from the store directly to the party where you will have refrigerators or coolers, then just cover the beer. Make sure the sun doesn't hit it through the windows or in the back of the truck. An extra added measure would be to put your ice on top of the beer and then cover. That way, the beer stays cool utilizing the ice you bought.

Trash Cans

Trash cans are great for just about any occasion. Whether you are bringing the beer to the house or taking the beer somewhere else, have a trash can full of ice for beer transport. A truck is normally best for this type of transportation.

Take an empty trash can to the store. Buy your beer and ice. Fill the trash can with the beer first, then dump the ice on top. You can't lose. In fact, the transportation will make it possible for the ice to do its magic and make the beer even colder than it was when you bought it from the store.

Baby Pool

The baby pool is actually a fun way to get the party started. Grab one from the store and bring it with you. Fill it with beer and ice and let the party take it away.

Of course, after the party you can always give the baby pool to kids who will enjoy it. Watch the adult kids take it over at the end of the party. But, if it survives there will be some kids who will really appreciate having a pool to get cool.

Keg Coolers

Keg coolers are actually very unique. They cover the keg and some have wheels for easy transport. But, sitting inside a keg cooler your beer stays cool all day. No matter if you are in the hot summer sun playing volleyball or touch football with your friends. Your beer will always stay cool as the day fades into night.

Kegerators

Kegerators also keep your keg cool. But, they have a different style all their own. They can be rolled right out into the yard when you are having a backyard party and want the beer right there with you. It's better than running back in the house for every drink. Plus, you can show off your beer handles sporting your taste in beer.

Of course, we are a creative beast. Beer enthusiasts know how to take a situation and make the best out of it. Put the beer in the river. Hide it in the ground. Place it under a tree in the shade. There are plenty of ways to keep your beer cool, so make sure you know them so that you never drink a warm beer on a fun hot day.
