The BREKX beverage tub is a 12 quart double-wall insulated stainless steel bucket in a hammered finish, built to chill beer, wine, and champagne for a party. The double-wall construction is what lets it skip a lid entirely: the insulation keeps ice solid for hours and, just as importantly, stops the outside from sweating onto a table or bar top. Double-hinged handles sit flat against the body when it is stationary and swing up for carrying a full, heavy tub. It reads as a permanent piece of bar equipment rather than a disposable party bin. Best fit for home bars, backyard entertaining, weddings and showers, and anyone tired of replacing plastic tubs every summer.

Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a lid?
No, and it is designed not to need one. The extra-thick insulated steel is what keeps the ice cold, so the tub is sold without a lid.
Will it sweat and leave water rings on a wood bar?
The double-wall construction is specifically meant to prevent exterior condensation, which is the main reason to pick an insulated tub over a single-wall one.
How many bottles will 12 quarts actually hold?
It is sized as a party tub for chilling a mixed load of beer, wine, or champagne bottles with ice around them. Exact count depends on bottle size and how much ice you pack in.
Is it just for drinks, or can I use it as a big ice bucket?
Both. It is sold as a beverage tub and ice bucket, so it works for chilling bottles or for holding ice to serve from.
