An insulating beverage container holder is disclosed that is adapted to receive either longneck beverage bottles or aluminum cans. The insulating beverage holder consists of a substantially cylindrical body having 3 axially aligned apertures therein. One aperture is sized for an interference fit with the cylindrical diameter of an aluminum can beverage container. A second aperture is sized for an interference fit with the neck portion of a longneck beverage container. A third aperture, situated between the first and second apertures, is sized for an interference fit with the larger diameter of a longneck beverage container. Retaining mechanisms are also disclosed that secure longneck beverage containers within the holder to prevent inadvertent removal of the beverage container from within the insulated beverage container holder.

1. A one-piece, insulating container for use with a cylindrical beverage can and a cylindrical longneck beverage bottle having a neck portion and a base portion, said insulating container comprising: a top surface;a bottom surface;a lateral surface;a first cylindrical aperture defined by said latera
1. A one-piece, insulating container for use with a cylindrical beverage can and a cylindrical longneck beverage bottle having a neck portion and a base portion, said insulating container comprising: a top surface;a bottom surface;a lateral surface;a first cylindrical aperture defined by said lateral surface and said bottom surface, wherein the first cylindrical aperture is configured to receive at least a portion of the beverage can and cause an interference fit with the beverage can;a second cylindrical aperture partially defined by said top surface, wherein the second cylindrical aperture is configured to receive at least a portion of the neck portion of the longneck beverage bottle and cause an interference fit with the neck portion and wherein said second cylindrical aperture is axially aligned with said first cylindrical aperture; anda third cylindrical aperture partially defined by said lateral surface and axially aligned with said first and second cylindrical apertures, said third cylindrical aperture adjacent said first and second cylindrical apertures, wherein said third cylindrical aperture is configured to receive at least a portion of the base portion of the longneck beverage bottle and cause an interface fit with the base portion,wherein the lateral surface comprises a shoulder at the intersection of the first and third cylindrical apertures, said shoulder is configured to at least partially support the beverage can within the container. 2. The one-piece, insulating container of claim 1 wherein said lateral surface is cylindrical. 3. The one-piece, insulating container of claim 2 further comprising means for retaining the longneck beverage bottle removably attached to said bottom surface and adapted to securely maintain the position of the longneck beverage bottle situated in said first, second, and third cylindrical apertures. 4. The one-piece, insulating container of claim 3 wherein said means for retaining includes a planar member and a hook and loop fastener attached to said planar member, and wherein said planar member is removably attached to the bottom surface. 5. The one-piece, insulating container of claim 3 wherein said means for retaining includes a resilient strap situated over at least a portion of said bottom surface. 6. The one-piece, insulating container of claim 5 wherein said strap is removably attached to said bottom surface. 7. An one-piece, insulated beverage holder for use with a cylindrical beverage can having a diameter and a height and a cylindrical longneck beverage bottle having a cylindrical neck portion with a neck portion diameter and a bottle base portion with a bottle base diameter that is larger than the neck portion diameter yet smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical beverage can, said insulating beverage holder comprising: a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein said top surface and said bottom surface are planar surfaces situated in spaced apart parallel planesa lateral surface;a first cylindrical aperture defined by said lateral surface and said bottom surface and having a diameter sized for an interference fit with the beverage can, said first cylindrical aperture having a height that is less than the height of the cylindrical beverage can;a second cylindrical aperture partially defined by said top surface and having a diameter sized for an interference fit with the neck portion of the longneck beverage bottle, said second cylindrical aperture having a height less than the neck portion of the longneck beverage bottle and wherein said second cylindrical aperture is axially aligned with said first cylindrical aperture;a third cylindrical aperture partially defined by said lateral surface and axially aligned with said first and second cylindrical apertures, said third cylindrical aperture adjacent said first and second cylindrical apertures, said third cylindrical aperture having a diameter sized for an interference fit with the bottle base portion of the longneck beverage bottlewherein the lateral surface comprises a shoulder at the intersection of the first and third cylindrical apertures, said shoulder is configured to at least partially support the beverage can within the beverage holder. 8. The device of claim 7 including a beverage retaining means for capturing a beverage container within said first cylindrical aperture. 9. The device of claim 8 wherein said beverage retaining means is a planar member removably attached to said bottom surface. 10. The device of claim 8 wherein said beverage retaining means is a planar member hingedly attached to said bottom surface. 11. The device of claim 8 wherein said beverage retaining means is a resilient strap situated over said bottom surface. 12. A one-piece, insulating beverage container holder for use with a cylindrical beverage container having a diameter and a height and a longneck beverage container having a cylindrical neck portion with a neck portion diameter and a bottle diameter that is larger than the neck portion diameter yet smaller than the diameter of the cylindrical beverage container, said insulating beverage container holder comprising: a one-piece body consisting of a flexible resilient insulating material and having a top surface and a bottom surface and wherein said top surface and said bottom surface are planar surfaces disposed in spaced apart parallel planes;a first aperture disposed in said bottom surface of said body that is sized for an interference fit with the diameter of the cylindrical beverage container;a second aperture disposed in said top surface of said body that is sized for an interference fit with the diameter of the neck portion of the longneck beverage container; anda third aperture situated within said body and in fluid communication with said first and said second apertures, and wherein said third aperture is sized for an interference fit with the bottle diameter of the longneck beverage container,wherein the body further comprises a shoulder at the intersection of the first and third cylindrical apertures, said shoulder is configured to at least partially support the cylindrical beverage container within the beverage container holder. 13. The insulating beverage container holder of claim 12 wherein said first, said second, and said third apertures are substantially cylindrical in shape and substantially axially aligned with one another. 14. The insulating beverage container holder of claim 13 wherein said body is fabricated from a closed-cell foam insulating material. 15. The insulating beverage container holder of claim 13 wherein said body is fabricated from an open-cell foam insulating material. 16. The insulating beverage container holder of claim 13 including a retaining means for securely retaining a beverage container within said first cylindrical aperture of said body, and wherein said retaining means is removably attached to said bottom surface of said body and disposed over said first aperture of said body. 17. The insulating beverage container holder of claim 16 wherein said retaining means is a disk shaped member removably attached to said bottom surface of said cylindrical body over said first aperture. 18. The insulating beverage container holder of claim 17 including a hook and loop fastener having a first portion thereof attached to said disk and a second portion thereof attached to said bottom surface for removable attachment of said disk shaped member to said bottom surface of said body.
