The summer months are behind us but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider a quality cooler to have in your inventory. There are still soccer tournaments, softball games, backyard parties, and other activities this fall. Plus, Denver weather has remained unseasonably warm. Having a quality cooler to keep the drinks and food cold is essential. Whether you are in the market for a new cooler, want to add to your fleet, or just want an upgrade, consider the BrüTank 35qt rolling cooler made by BrüMate.
The BrüTank 35qt has a capacity of 36 cans (12oz) plus ice, 25lbs ice, or 9 bottles wine/liquor wit
h the Drink Tank installed. Some premium coolers offer disappointing capacity considering how large they are on the outside. The BrüTank 35qt is exactly what you would expect when you open the lid.
The claim is that ice retention lasts seven days, but even though it was properly prepared with a sacrificial bag of ice and cold beverages added, the ice lasted three days with temperatures soaring into the 80s.
The weight is much more manageable than other premium coolers at this price point, which at time of press was $324.99. It comes in under 30 pounds, including the fact that it features premium all terrain wheels. Wheeling this cooler to a soccer game with the telescoping handle was a breeze, and when finished wheeling, easily slid back into place making it easy to store.
One of the unique features of this cooler is a removable 1.8-gallon drink tank with a built-in tap, providing easy access to your favorite beverages. This simplifies drink mixing and facilitates cleaning. Once mixed, the tank can be placed in the cooler for later use. Moreover, the tap is designed to be easily removed, allowing for effortless cleaning without the need to empty the tank beforehand. This feature makes the process considerably more efficient while maintaining the integrity of the drink.
The BrüTank 35qt is also comfortable to sit on as the foam seat top allows you have this cooler perform as an additional seat on your adventure. BrüMate thought of every detail, down to including a different cork when not using the drink tank. This cooler is well made, can easily be wheeled through tough terrain, and keeps drinks cold for days.
