Abstract: Means for chilling and insulating a canned or bottled beverage such as beer including a cylindrical sleeve of reusable refrigerant disposed within an insulative beverage can holder and displacing the annular "dead air" cavity between a beverage can situated therein and the side walls of the holder. The reusable refrigerant is a substance which may be frozen in conventional refrigerator freezers whereby the refrigerant in a frozen state will chill and keep chilled beer or the like disposed therewithin. In this manner, a beverage may be quickly chilled whether initially refrigerated or not and while being consumed out of doors. Moreover, the chilled temperature is normally unachieveable in conventional refrigerators and is especially not maintainable for any length of time in conventional "dead-air" insulative holders.

Abstract: Means for insulating and chilling a canned beverage such as beer or soft drink including a cylindrical cup-shaped liner structure disposed within a conventional foam beverage can holder and lying within a portion of the annular "dead air" cavity between a beverage can situated therein and the side walls of the foam holder. The outer wall of the inner cup wall and the inner wall of the outer foam cup walls define an annular space containing a reusable refrigerant. The reusable refrigerant is a freezable fluid, preferably a liquid chemically treated into a gellatenous state for being frozen in conventional refrigerator freezers. In the frozen state the gel will chill and keep chilled beverage disposed within a container placed within the inner cupshaped liner. The top portion of the liner is constructed for light press fit engagement with the side walls of the foam holder for sealably containing the gel therein in a non-frozen state.
