Stubbies and stubby holders

Tweet

I wrote about a stubby holder thinking everyone would know what I meant. Wrong again it seems! A stubby in Australian is a glass bottle containing beer. The ones in my photo hold 330ml (11 fluid ozs) each. To keep the beer cold while it’s being drunk and to make an ice-cold bottle more comfortable to hold, the bottle (or can) is often placed in a stubby holder. These are typically made from neoprene or something similar. The holder traps air to slow heat transfer thus helping keep the drink colder for longer and offer a comfortable grip. Most sporting clubs sell these holders or they are given away as promotional items. We were given one with an image of a bride and groom. So do you have stubby holders in your country?
