I didn’t see them get up there and I didn’t see them come down. So your guess is as good as mine. But the last time I checked, the roof had not caved in yet. So I guess it works.

Upper Deck Tailgating Seats?
Thermos has finally thrown their hat in the beer insulation ring with a stainless steel koozie. Vat19.com sent me over one of these stainless steel can insulators for a test drive. It uses vacuum insulation that has been developed for other Thermax technology products. So with out getting into details, it’s going to keep your beer colder than a cheap piece of fabric. On the product page on Vat19 you can see a video on the comparative temperature change. Tailgating Ideas also tested the change over a koozieless can.
But in reality, it shouldn’t take you longer than 20-30 minutes to finish most of your beers. So temperature change is actually pretty low on my priorities list for a koozie. I’m more worried about practicality and appearance.
Pros:
– The hard metal design and rubber bottom makes this koozie quite sturdy when sitting on a flat surface. When using a cloth koozie at home I often get a little anxious when I sit my beer down on a table. As the beer gets lighter is more likely to flip over. It takes a pretty strong effort to tip over the Thermos insulator.
– Fits a can snugly. It’s slim enough that my hand fits around it well. The outside of the insulator stays at room temperature and doesn’t get wet so you maintain a good grip.
– Sleek and unique look
Cons:
– This is more of a koozie for around the house. The main issue for tailgating is that you can’t fit this in your pocket. Which isn’t always a problem but it could be. Also at this price you don’t really want to lose it when you get drunk.
– It doesn’t hold bottles well. They jostle around quite a bit which makes it a can only situation.
Overall: It gets the Drunken Tailgate seal of approval. I’ve been using it for three months now and I’m very satisfied. I use it every time I’m drinking a beer from a can inside my house.

Winter Conditioning and Spring Practice
After a laborious winter of conditioning we here at Drunken Tailgate are ready to commence with spring practice. We intend to use actual spring practice, baseball games, steeplechases, weddings, and baptisms as preparations for our holy football season ahead.
