Back when, we bought those styro coolers at Erickson's for $1.49 that held a bag of ice and a case of cans.

Today, we all have one of those $65 Coleman cooler chests that perform the same function, but are easier on our environment and much harder to destroy when you're hammered.

A good idea would be to rinse out that cooler chest and bring it with since the temps over reunion weekend can typically approach 90 degrees ruining the bouquet of most colas, not to mention food items like bologna and liverwurst. However, I think it's still true that Grain Belt doesn't require any refrigeration to keep down.

Another recommendation is to bring "personal" drink coolers as well. You know, those foam things that fit around cans, some with catchy logos or sayings. Even though it's a million years later, you probably still don't want anyone mistaking your beverage for theirs. A "personal" drink cooler is a proven method of identifying the drink with your DNA all over the rim (and the baby shark PINK FONG logo).
