What Is the BrüMate Hopsulator Trio?

For starters, a can cooler is a fully insulated tumbler that you can slip your favorite cans right into and work to keep your drinks cold by preventing the transfer of heat. And the Hopsulator Trio is the most versatile can cooler yet!

The Trio is unique in that it features innovative 3-in-1 technology. The Trio can be used as a can cooler for both 12-ounce cans and 16-ounce cans through the use of a simple (and freezable!) adapter. If you don’t want to drink from a can, you can pour your liquid directly into the cooler and use it as a 100% leakproof tumbler by attaching the included lid. Cool, right?

The features don’t stop there. This can cooler has:

  • Push-Lock™ Technology: Makes it easy to insert and remove cans without ever unscrewing the gasket. Just pop it in and sip!

  • Triple Insulation: Keeps your drink ice cold while preventing condensation, so your can stays dry and comfortable to hold.

  • Non-Slip Base: Provides extra traction when you set it down to help prevent slips and spills.

With a wide range of colors, styles, and designs, you can easily find a Trio that fits your personal taste and lifestyle.

  • 16oz Can: Remove the adapter, then push your 16oz can into the Trio. 

  • Tumbler: Remove the adapter and pour in your favorite beverage (and ice, if you like). Add the leakproof lid, and you’re ready to sip!
