The problem with coolers is that they're made for sharing, so drinkers can never be sure if their favorite chilled beverage will be swiped, unless they use Dogfish Head's Secret Stash Cooler. This limited-edition cooler features a hidden compartment specially designed to tuck away select drinks, keeping them out of sight and out of reach to those who don't know they're there. Perfect for beach days, picnics, backyard barbecues and other summer days spent outside, the cooler holds between 16 and 24 12-ounce cans.
Created to promote Dogfish Head's range of spirits-based ready-to-drink cocktails this summer, the Secret Stash Cooler is perfect for concealing juicy varieties like Blood Orange Mango Vodka Crush, Pineapple Orange Rum Mai Tai or Strawberry Lime Tequila Margarita.
