Description:

The sun in New Zealand and Australia is no joke. It can get a little toasty, which is great for BBQ’s, swimming and solar panels but not so great for your beer. That’s why we had a crack at designing the world’s best beer cooler.

Existing beer coolers were limited to certain sizes of cans and bottles, and none delivered a great multi-use drinking experience. The design challenge was to create a cooler that not only keeps beer ice-cold, but also fits almost any beer can or bottle, whilst enhancing the drinking experience.

The Huski Beer Cooler 2.0 is an intuitively simple, one-size-fits-most, solution. The Push-Fit Flexilock™ Vented Lid, which when combined with the internal step and self-centering internal dome, allows the cooler to fit most 330ml, 355ml and 375ml bottles and cans. This unique approach sets Huski apart from the rest of the market, where the standard is having multiple products to cover this range of vessels.

The Huski Beer Cooler 2.0 is a premium product made from marine grade 316 stainless steel, with copper plating within the vacuum chamber. Triple insulated, the Huski works off the shelf and does a great job of keeping beer colder for longer, with no condensation.
Designed for convenience, the Huski’s push-in functionality makes swapping out drinks fast and easy. The Huski also doubles as a tumbler with its removable lid and internal thread. The multi-functional 3-in-1 opener pops crown caps, twists screw caps and slides to open can tabs, and it fits securely in the non-slip base when not in use.

Cracking open a cold beer is one of life’s simple pleasures, which is the sentiment we wanted reflected in the design of the Huski Beer Cooler 2.0. Everything is beautifully integrated to combine form and function. The shape and dimensions have been finely tuned to balance performance, ergonomics and style. Available in 5 different colours, users can reflect their personal identity.

Great for BBQs, out on the boat, a day at the beach or in the comfort of your own home, it's perfect for anyone who enjoys a cold beer. With the Huski Beer Cooler 2.0, you’ll never have to drink a warm beer again. We hope you like it - Cheers!
