When it comes to enjoying a refreshing beer at a summer picnic, having the right accessories can enhance your experience. Who doesn't love having a delicious cold beer at the beach, at a nearby park or on the patio.


Here are some of the best beer accessories for a summer picnic:


Insulated Cooler or Bag: Keep your beers chilled and refreshing with an insulated cooler or bag. Look for one that is spacious enough to hold your desired quantity of beer and has proper insulation to maintain the cold temperature like this soft insulated cooler tote bag that carries 24 cans with a handle and adjustable shoulder strap for picnic.

Portable Beer Caddy: A portable beer caddy or carrier is a convenient accessory for transporting your beers to the picnic location. Choose a caddy that features a soft-sided distressed waxed cotton canvas exterior, a bottle opener on a retractable cord with exterior pocket, and the ability to remove drinks without opening the flap. This stylish tote caddy will hold your favorite 6 pack and also has a removable inner divider.

Beer Tumblers or Glasses: Instead of drinking directly from the bottle or can, consider bringing along beer tumblers or glasses. These insulated pilsner style tumblers from Mason Forge are stainless steel and will enhance the presentation and aroma of your beer while adding a touch of elegance to your picnic setup.

Beer Koozies: Keep your beers cold and your hands comfortable with beer koozies and insulated can coolers for 12 oz. or 16 oz cans. These insulated sleeves or holders like the BruMate Hopsulator Trio 3-in-1 Insulated Can Cooler with 100% Leak Proof Tumbler with Lid helps maintain the temperature of your beer and prevent condensation from making your hands wet.
