Beer koozies, also known as beer sleeves are like foam jackets that help insulate a can or bottle of beverage. The word beer in the term beer koozie or sleeve is misleading as the foam jacket can be used for various other beverage cans and bottles, in fact almost any container. They come in various sizes depending on what size of container you’re looking at.
Holding a chilled can of beer or any other bottle of beverage makes your hands cold and often watery due to the condensation on the can or bottle. What a beer koozie essentially does is keep the drink cold and your hands warm, by forming an insulating covering of fabric. The fabrics generally used are open cell foam , polyester or other such artificial fibres.
People also use beer koozies to help them identify their beverage from others. Say for example, you and your friends are drinking the same beer, sitting at the same table, the beer koozie helps you determine your drink from theirs. Looking at this many companies have started giving away beer koozies as a marketing scheme to increase their brand values. All this has led to the evolution of the beer koozie to a consumer product which carefully takes into account the materials and styling.
Customize Your Beer Koozies
Some companies have sprung up which help make custom beer koozies. They give you the facility of customizing your beer koozie starting right from the colour to the print which may be logos or text. Some companies have also come up with wool based beer koozies for the big bottles so that you can keep your hands warm while you sip on a chilled bottle of your favourite beverage.
