2. Cooling Pint Glasses – £31.99
Crack open a cold one whenever you fancy, as this glass only takes 20 minutes to chill in the freezer. Being made from acrylic, we also don’t see why you can’t just keep it in the freezer full time, waiting for it to be filled with ice cold beer.
Pros: Reviewers say that they are great for keeping drinks cold that you don’t want watered down. One person wrote: “Love these glasses. Beer stays very cold for a long time. Can even pour a second beer, and glass will still be cold.”
