Title: NHC beer koozies:
Post by: Hop Bomb on April 02, 2013, 11:27:15 AM
Summer is coming (apparently). Would there be any interest in NHC custom beer koozies?

Example below is from a designer I know in UK. He did these for his company:

No idea on price yet as Ive to get in touch with a company in the US for the blank koozies but
Id imagine the very most they would be printed is 5.00e each & a good chunk of that would go back to the club.

Are they not designed to keep a bottle/can cold rather than warm them?

I would imagine it would work both ways.

They look very thin though.

Its an in joke with ale snobs I think. Yes they're designed to keep your beer cool/stop your hand warming the bottle. You will still have to chill your beer first  :)

Ah that explains why they are thin.

I was considering the like of this (http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Built-NY-Neoprene-6-Pack-500ml-Purple-Insulating-Bottle-Tote-Carrier-/380599679175?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item589d8238c7) for meets except cheaper...

That's be handy for meets alright.

The koozies are collapsable so they're flat in your arse pocket with your wallet. Just whip it out when you're having a beer. I have a boston red sox one I use all the time.

I've used these before.
Super job for drinking from the bottle, so grand if  bottle is filled from keg.
