Natural Light's CoolShed is a walk-in backyard beer cooler that harnesses the power of the sun to keep beer ice-cold in the heat. This solar-powered beer shed features high-capacity monocrystalline solar panels, an advanced temperature control system, an insulating aluminum composite interior, and 250 cubic feet of cooling space, plus heavy-duty shelving equipped to hold beer by the case. "Natty fans spend their summers mowing, fixing, building and grilling, and they've earned an ice-cold beer when the job is done. Since the sun will already be heating things up, the CoolShed is going to put those rays to good use," said Krystyn Stowe, Head of Marketing Busch Family & Natural Family, Anheuser-Busch.
The CoolShed can only be won via the Natural Light CoolShed Sweepstakes, and in addition to their chance to win the grand prize, the first 500 eligible entrants will get a $15 prepaid card—or Natural Light beer money.
