A receptacle for holding a beverage container such as a beer keg while the exterior of the container is being subjected to a cold liquid is disclosed. In one embodiment, there is a plastic housing which is formed with a generally cup-shaped internal cavity, the cavity having a bottom cavity wall and cavity sidewalls. The housing is also formed with an opening for allowing the container and the cold liquid to be inserted in and removed from the cavity. A plurality of ribs are positioned in the cavity that have an inner centering edge which is spaced radially inward from the cavity sidewalls. The inner edges are suitable to hold the container away from the sidewalls when the container is inserted in the cavity and positioned radially inward of the inner edge. In another preferred form, there is also provided a platform positioned in the cavity and affixed to the bottom wall. It has an upper edge which is spaced upward from the cavity bottom wall so that when the container and cold liquid are inserted in the cavity and the container is positioned over the upper edge, the upper edge can hold the container off the bottom cavity wall.

A receptacle for holding a beer keg while the exterior of the keg is being subjected to an ice water bath, comprising: a housing which is formed with a generally cup-shaped internal cavity, the cavity being defined by a bottom wall and cavity sidewalls; the housing also being formed with an upper opening for allowing the keg and ice water to be inserted in and removed from the cavity; a plurality of vertically extending centering ribs positioned in the cavity at circumferentially spaced locations around the radial periphery of the cavity; said ribs having inner centering edges spaced radially inward from the cavity sidewalls; side compartments which are bounded by adjacent ribs, the cavity sidewalls and upon insertion of the keg the keg outer side walls, and which are suitable for storing the ice water along the sides of the keg; a platform positioned in the cavity and having an upper edge which is spaced upward from the cavity bottom wall, so that when the keg and ice water are inserted in the cavity and the keg is positioned on the upper edge, the upper edge can hold the keg up off the cavity bottom wall; said platform being constructed so as not to cover a portion of the cavity bottom wall adjacent a central vertical axis of the cavity; a bottom compartment adjacent the central vertical axis of the cavity which is bounded by the bottom wall of the cavity, the platform, and upon insertion of the keg the bottom of the keg, for storing ice water under the keg; said side compartments being in direct communication with said bottom compartment when the keg has been positioned on the platform, whereby the ice water may readily pass therebetween once it is added to the cavity; and a pocket formed in the upper end of a cavity side wall, said pocket being upwardly open, having a bottom closure, and having means defining pocket sides, whereby a support post may be mounted in said pocket and held by said pocket against other than substantially vertical movement. A receptacle for holding a beer keg while the exterior of the keg is being subjected to an ice water bath, comprising: a housing which is formed with a generally cup-shaped internal cavity, the cavity being defined by a bottom wall and cavity sidewalls; the housing also being formed with an upper opening for allowing the keg and ice water to be inserted in and removed from the cavity; an outer insulating housing tube being formed integrally with the internal cavity, said tube surrounding the cavity sidewalls, and being positioned relative thereto so as to leave a space between the inside of the tube and a portion of the cavity sidewalls, said tube also extending below the bottom of the cavity bottom wall to form a pedestal support for the cavity; a plurality of vertically extending centering ribs positioned in the cavity at circumferentially spaced locations around the radial periphery of the cavity; said ribs having inner centering edges spaced radially inward from the cavity sidewalls; side compartments which are bounded by adjacent ribs, the cavity sidewalls and upon insertion of the keg the keg outer side walls, and which are suitable for storing the ice water along the sides of the keg; a platform positioned in the cavity and having an upper edge which is spaced upward from the cavity bottom wall, so that when the keg and ice water are inserted in the cavity and the keg is positioned on the upper edge, the upper edge can hold the keg up off the cavity bottom wall; said platform being constructed so as not to cover a portion of the cavity bottom wall adjacent a central vertical axis of the cavity and to have a plurality of segments which radiate outwardly towards the cavity sidewalls; a bottom compartment adjacent the central vertical axis of the cavity which is bounded by the bottom wall of the cavity, the platform, and upon insertion of the keg the bottom of the keg, for storing ice water under the keg; said ribs and radiating platform segments being angularly offset from each other at a plurality of locations around the periphery of the cavity side walls; and said housing being a one-piece unit made of molded thermoplastic, and being of substantially uniform thickness throughout.
