In this episode I am joined by Austin Maxwell of Kanga Coolers, the worlds first iceless cooler for your case, keeping beverages cold for up to 7 hours. The co-founders all had expensive coolers that could keep their drinks cold for 3 weeks, but never used them to keep their drinks cold for 3 hours! They were too bulky to carry, and getting ice each time was a hassle. So, they would just grab a cold case from the store and just drink it as it got warm. That’s when it hit them: if they're already getting a cold case from the store, why not just keep it cold for the entire time they're actually going to enjoy it? The concept behind the Kase Mate was born: a soft cooler that slides around a cold case of beer, and keeps it cold for up to 7 hours without the need for ice.
