I am looking to use these for beer. Does it stay cold a good amount of time and does it make the drink cold if at drink is at room temperature?

Keeps cold drinks very cold 2 the point that the bottom turns slush like a frozen slurpy drink; other than that I gone them a 4 star; don't know bout room temperature drinks

I have never used them for beer, only soda. It makes warm drinks cold but it does takes a few minutes. If the drinks are already cold they get slushy in about the same amount of time.

Yes & yes. I love thee glasses and the beverage stays cold for a good long time and even if the drink is warm, it will make it cold. I'm thinking of ordering another set. Best ones I've found for keeping liquids cold.

Yes, to both questions. They stay so cold oftentimes whatever is inside gets pretty icy. When I put room temperature liquid in it takes a few minutes to get it chilled but it eventually gets cold.

Um. By not saying what you mean by "a good amount" of time, you have guaranteed that the responses are useless for answering your question.

WRT home brew, chances are that if they are bottling they are carbonating in bottle, meaning that there is a yeast ring at the bottom. Chilling the beer "freezes" the yeast to the bottom (makes it drop out and stick to the bottom), and if the beer is warm the yeast will suspend like a hefeweizen, which is not terrible pleasant for most beer styles. So go with caution. Personally I would not use this product for homebrew. This seems perfect for Bud, Miller, Coors and other beers consumed from bottle where as the complexity of home and microbrews are best experienced from proper glassware (not a shelf friendly pint glass, but I am sure Amazon has plenty of specialty glasses to consider.

they keep a drink cold for at least an hour if not more, havent really tried to time it.. They are awesome! i love these things :)

If your sons homebrew, they are probably making styles that do not need to be served ice cold. This product is designed more for light lagers, like budweiser, or the Mexican imports, like Corona.(Also, I would say that your sons should probably be pouring their beer into a proper glass, but that might make me look like a snob...)

I actually have not used this mug for coffee, I have however used it for water and I'm not kidding when I say water stays cold for up to 24 hours. It's amazing. Sorry I couldn't help with the coffee question.

Seriously doubt your drinks would be cold for very long in that situation. First, this isn't a fridge but a cooler. Myself, have never had reason to use this without it being hooked up to electricity. If you must unplug this while in use, suggest using some of the blue ice items to help keep your drinks cold. That should give you an hour or more.

Homebrewing, I've kept 165º liquid in it for an hour, dropping to about 158º by the end. Higher temperatures will definitely cool off faster, but you should have a reasonable amount of time where it will mix well.

Been a while, since I visited the company website--suggest you do that, too!--but I know it was good for any brewing liquid in a glass container that needed no more than 78-80 degree F temps. I prefer 80 exactly for kombucha, so have had to rely on this ONLY during the winter, when ambient temps are far below 80 and when I use a seed mat to boost brewing temps up to 70-80 (or I'd never get kombucha in a week or two . . would take FOREVER). Just know the strip tops out at 78-80, so if your brew needs more than that, look elsewhere for a monitoring product. Good luck.

Pretty much what everyone else said. I use mine to keep warm water (ie: warm not hot) for drinking. I'd say it loses between 25% - 50% of the heat over a period of 24 hours (depending on how often it's opened and how much is consumed). Still a good product.

I have never used this mug on cold drinks, only for coffee. I assume it would do a good job keeping cold as it does a great job keeping coffee hot, best mug I ever had.

I keep one in the freezer all the time, I have four, I love them. I take a refrigerated soda can, put it in the freezer for 25 minutes exactly, then place it in a frozenThermos. Love it. Soda is just at freezing point. I can leave a can in the over 100 degree Arizona weather, in the car for a long time, and come out, and thething is still cold!!!! I just love these insulators, buying them up on Amazon!!! I contacted Thermos to see if I they produce the ones for the small cans, but they don't.

It slows me to pour hot tea into it as I brew and then cool for iced tea. I still warm it a little in the sink prior to slowly pouring the tea into it as to not shock the glass. I have made 20 ir so batches so far and then I cool and keep it in the fridge. Love it. I would say if you are trying to keep beverages hot this is not a solution though.

The ice pack stay cold for like 3 hours, but it is really good. Stays in the place and it is not aggressive cold.I recommend.

They tend to get too hot around the top edge when you serve hot beverages in them but they are thermal because of the double walls so keep warm beverages warm for a while. I think they are better for cold drinks. They are super durable, I have had them for a few years and love them.

I use mine to cool my beer fermenter. 1/2" lines with cooler box as reservoir and aquarium pump around 8 liters of fluid in the cooling Cct. The fermenter is jacketed. Works very well, i can control easily from 10 -20 degrees C no problem with ambient at around 30. The noise of the Unit is decernable at night but nothing extreme. Yes you can use it, and in case any one is interested yes the beer tastes great !

I would recommend that you get the unit really cold and the drinks really cold before you put them in. Add ice packs around the drinks. The Thermos ones work really great for this purpose.
