Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope your Turkey 🦃 Day was filled with so much love and joy!

I love Thanksgiving, but as a man who works retail and usually has to work early the next morning, Holly Kay and I try and maximize our time off by heading to our destination the night before Thanksgiving, so we can have all day with our family. (Holly Kay has the whole weekend off, so she’s blessed with spending the whole weekend at my parents’ house out on Long Island.)

Wednesday evening, when we got out to LI, we were invited by my Aunt Cathy to do (one of our favorite things ever) an Escape Room! 4 adults, 3 whip smart children, and a room called “The Show Must Go On”, where an actress, Veronica Lakes, has been kidnapped 😱 an hour before she’s supposed to go on stage, and we must find out who the kidnapper is and escape the room before time runs out! We made it out in 40 minutes (like I said, those kids are whip smart, Holly’s a natural born puzzle guru, and my Aunt Cathy and Uncle Dave are also amazing. Me? I paraded around in Veronica’s feathered robe and solved a puzzle or two myself. And I looked FABULOUS). It was so much fun.

The next morning, Holly and I had breakfast at my Parents’ house before heading over to my Brother Chris and Sister-in-law Lauren’s house (about 10 minutes away) so Holly could bake her two cornbreads (one with Jalapeño and Cheddar and one with Creamed Corn) and a super delicious Pound Cake.

I was so excited as we all prepared for the rest of our family to arrive (by the way, we were expecting 40 people), as I’d just recently received my first shipment of Benedict Beer Blog branded Koozies from Express Imprint!

The items I got were their Premium Collapsable Cooler (available on their website linked above) with the Benedict Beer Blog logo imprinted on one side. They’re easy to carry around, as they fold pretty flat when not snug around a beautiful craft beer can.

Two Premium Collapsable Coolers and a can of Root & Branch Brewing All Tomorrow’s Parties IPA.

As I handed them out to my beer drinking relatives, they all loved it. The feel of the Koozie is almost like a memory foam, it’s like you’re holding a comfy little cloud, taken on a journey through the heavens on the back of a magical foam unicorn 🦄 .

As a man with poor circulation, my hands and fingers get cold really quickly (the coldest Thanksgiving on record in NY didn’t help), so this helps me out a lot because my fingies don’t get chilly!

Billy loved that the seam was on the inside, so the outside was (pun very much intended) seamless. These don’t feel cheap. They’re super comfy to hold, and feel like they can hold up to some stretching and condensation without falling apart.

The imprint of the Benedict Beer Blog logo was also beautiful. Etched in white, it stood out against the multitude of colors available on the Express Imprint Website!

I definitely didn’t bring enough Koozies for the whole family, so some of my relatives and family friends got jealous and I had to pass them around…

The moustache is a perfect companion to the Blue Collapsable Cooler, wouldn’t you say?

It’s the perfect item to bring to your Fighting Irish tailgate! You just need some craft beer for it to hug 🤗!

The Premium Collapsable Cooler is the perfect vessel to hold my Moustache Brewing Co. collab Beer, You Lucky People, You!

Thank you, Express Imprint, for these amazing Koozies, they were a hit at our Thanksgiving Celebration, and I’ll definitely be getting more to distribute to family, friends, and fans of Benedict Beer Blog! I love them so much!

If you want to create your own Koozies for your blog, website, or your next event, head over to Express Imprint and tell them Benedict Beer Blog sent you!

Until next time!

Cheers!
