However, if you have this Thermos Can Insulator, you could keep that beer cold for hours without having to break a sweat — unless you’re already sweating.

When you’re at a party with a ton of people, sometimes it may be hard to keep track of which cup is yours. Sure, you can do the old Solo cup and a Sharpie method, but we’re older now, so we should be of the mind of classing it up a bit. That’s where Toast’s leather pint glass cuffs come in. These hand-stitched leather wraps fit fourteen and sixteen-ounce glasses and come in a variety of colors. For a little extra, you can even get a pre-existing design, or you can go all out and add your own custom illustration.

Spring has sprung, and summer is on it’s way, but that doesn’t mean it’s always going to be sunshine and daisies when you’re drinking outside. Whether you’re tailgating, barbecuing in your backyard, or just casually sipping a beer in snow storm, you’re going to want to keep those beer grabbers warm while you’re grabbing a beer. You could even pick up two of these beer mitts and drink two beers at once, like a champion.

$12

Stubby Strip Original – $15

Carrying beer from one place to another can be annoying, especially if you and all of your friends have all brought different craft beers. This is a problem no more with the Stubby Strip. Perhaps the most laugh-inducing name on this list, the Stubby Strip allows you to carry up to seven bottles or cans at time. Simply slip them in and wrap them up. From there, all you need to do is grab the handle and go.

Every fridge should have beer in it, but not every fridge has the room for it. You could always forgo that grocery trip to make room for more frothy beverages, but could you sustain an only-beer lifestyle? Probably not. How about instead you just pick up this magnetic hanger and have the best of both worlds.

Ever wanted to be able to drink what you want, when you want, and look like you have the perfect dad bod without having to try? Enter the Beer Belly. Like the beer can helmet of yore, the Beer Belly lets you load up on your favorite beverage (Who says you need to stop at beer? Why not an Old Fashioned belly?) and sneak it into wherever you’re going. Sure, you’ll probably look like an slob who has distinct opinions on who shot first — it was Han — but who cares? You won’t have to pay $55 for a large Coke when you to the movies. (They also have the Wine Rack for women, so there’s that.)

You can’t use this one to drink, but you need to drink to be able to use this accessory (this seems like the best kind of problem to have). The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter turns your normal bottles into glassware by slicing through them. Not only do you get to build out your collection with any number of cool looking beer-bottles-turned-glasses, but it also cuts down on the amount in your recycling bin (which will cut down on the amount of passive aggressive texts you’ll get from your neighbor about your “drinking problem”). Just remember to sand it when you’re done.

Take a break from pumpkin beer: The best Oktoberfest beers to drink this fall
These delicious drinks are perfect for crisp fall days
Pint of beer

There are at least a handful of holidays (especially drinking centered holidays) that many drinkers don’t really know the true origins of. We know these are special days in which we drink tequila and Mexican beer (Cinco de Mayo), Irish whiskey or dry Irish stouts (St. Patrick’s Day), and giant pints of malty, refreshing German beer (Oktoberfest). And while we’ll get into the other two when the time comes, it’s Oktoberfest’s time in the spotlight.

Oktoberfest is more than simply a day to wear your grandfather’s lederhosen, drink Marzen, eat schnitzel, and listen to oom-pah music. It’s a two-week festival (the actual party is in Munich) that’s celebrated each fall to remember the wedding of Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen on October 12, 1810.

If you’re a fan of beer, you’re likely well acquainted with the term “West Coast IPA.” This iconic style is known for its over-the-top hop aromas, flavors like citrus peels and pine needles, and a bitter wallop to finish things off. And while you might have tried your fair share of West Coast IPAs, you might have also encountered the term “East Coast IPA” at one point or another as well.

Chocolate and beer do in fact work wonders together. Here are some options you should fill your fridge with
Heady stout

All kinds of great adjuncts can squeeze comfortably into beer, from baking spices thrown into the stout vat to fresh citrus in an IPA. The most creative brewers take it a step further, adding fruit and lactose for smoothie sour beers or even kelp if they're set near the coast.

But we're here to talk about chocolate, the king of decadence. Turns out, chocolate is a great playmate with beer, provided you select the right style. You can't just throw cacao at a lager and expect enjoyment. It's all about balancing flavors and porters and stouts in particular, among a few other heavy styles and barrel-aged beers, do great with chocolate. The malt profiles already exude those kinds of flavors, tasting dark or bittersweet baking chocolate.
