COLOURS
Sea breeze or
slick black
|
Cooling Cubes are available in two standard colours. Whichever you choose, your drinks will be kept just as cool for just as long. Our ice-blue sea breeze “Point Break” cubes are a little bit more expensive, because the raw material cost more. We can produce other colours on demand. This usually requires an order of 300 Cooling Cubes. Companies interested in ordering should click here. |
THE INVENTORS
THIRSTY MINDS
HAVE GREAT IDEAS
|
It was a fantastic sunny day and we set off for the beach. We were feeling pretty cool, but by the time we got there our beer was disgustingly warm. So we lay on the beach sipping hot lager and dreaming of freshly poured ice-cold beer. And maybe a beach-chair. If we could combine the two, we would be in heaven.
When we got home we had a look to see if the perfect solution wasn’t already out there. |
|
And then we did some serious thinking. 5 litres? A great size. Not too heavy to carry, but still plenty of beer. But the kegs aren’t very pretty. And they don’t stay cool on their own.
There were already a few cooling solutions for kegs available. But they were either difficult to carry, ugly, did not keep the keg cool – or all three. We thought to ourselves: we can do better than that. And that’s how Cooling Cubes began. |
HOW TO USE COOLING CUBES
IT HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
TO HAVE A COLD BEER
WHEREVER YOU WANT ONE.
THE PERFECT BARBECUEIt’s a wonderful summer day. You’re outside having a barbecue. And every 10 minutes someone has to get up and go to the fridge to fetch beer, wine or another cold drink. Well not any more.
BARBECUEING WITH COOLING CUBES |
At homeYou‘re sitting at home watching football. Or playing cards with friends. Who is going to get up and get the next round of drinks? Nobody!
CHILL WITH COOLING CUBES |
AT FESTIVALSYou don’t fancy queueing up for ages for beer in a plastic cup? But how are you going to get your own cold beer to a festival? You have a long journey ahead of you. What will stay cool enough for long enough?
You can probably guess the answer. COOLING CUBES AT FESTIVALS |
AT THE BEACHFill up your bag with everything you need for the beach: towels, food, suncream, a football. And what about something to drink? Take your Cooling Cubes and enjoy ice-cold beer until the sun goes down.

MATERIAL
EPP, NOT POLYSTYRENE.
|
Okay, it does look like polystyrene. But there is a big difference between EPP (expanded polypropylene) and regular polystyrene. Cooling Cubes are made by pressing balls of EPP into a mould and melting them together using steam. Because no chemicals are needed to make them stick together, they are completely harmless.
|
|
In fact, if you manage to chew a corner off your cube – maybe you’re a bit miffed that your team’s given away a goal in extra time? - it will come out the other end without doing any harm. Not that we recommend trying this. Because if you look after your Cooling Cubes they will last a lifetime. And if they should break, they can be fully recycled. Just pull the logo off the front first. Here are some reasons why EPP is better than polystyrene:
|
|
|
It’s stronger
|
|
EPP amazingly strong for its weight. Otherwise we wouldn’t tell you that you could sit on your cubes.

|
It’s amazingly light
|
|
Cooling Cubes weigh 600 g. Add another 600 g for a cooling block and the carrying strap, and that’s only 1.2 kg. If only the beer were lighter! But when you’re on the way home and tired, you can be pretty sure that there will be less to carry.

100% recyclable
|
|
Cooling Cubes can be completely recycled. If you can’t find anyone locally who recycles EPP, then send your old cubes to us and we will recycle them for you.

FAQ

For ages. For more than long enough for the keg to be empty. OK, you want concrete facts? Well, it does depend on how hot it is outside, how many cooling blocks you put in your cubes, and exactly how cold the beer and the blocks were, when you put them in. But our tests show an average increase in temperature of around 0.29°C per hour.
If your fridge is at 6° it should be almost 7 hours before your beer even reaches 8° - which is still pretty cool. Have a look at this curve for more information.
