When barbecue and in turn tailgating season arrives we start thinking about those succulent meats and veggies sizzling. The smell and sound trigger thoughts of good times with family and friends in backyards and raised decks.

Of course, no barbecue is complete without the food, but there are many other aspects of a food-centric and fine company-laden get-together that need to be considered to really form the barbecue gathering into a fully complete social experience, like drinks and entertainment. The company is great on its own, there is no doubt, but the experience is only enhanced to the soundtrack of everyone’s favorite tunes with sips on some of the finest backyard beverage offerings.

So what are some helpful elements necessary to create a more complete barbecue experience?

No problem, the Sherpa’s double-wall construction, and vacuum insulation will keep that drink nice and cold for as long as 15 hours. Enjoy a hot brew instead? 5 hours of keeping your warm beverage at the perfect temperature must sound nice. The convenient slide closure, the press-on lid will make taking sips easy.
