A device for a beverage container may include a tubular member that is insulated and has an axis. The tubular member may further include an upper axial end and a lower axial end. Both the upper and lower axial ends can be open. The tubular member may be configured to receive and insulate the beverage container therein. The device may include a base. The base may be removably coupled to the lower axial end of the tubular member to close the lower axial end. The base may include an interior compartment containing a fluid permanently sealed therein. The fluid can have a freezing point of about 0° C. or less.

1. A device for a beverage container, comprising: a tubular member that is insulated and has an axis, an upper axial end and a lower axial end, both the upper and lower axial ends are open, and the tubular member is configured to receive and insulate a beverage container therein;a base removably coupled to the lower axial end of the tubular member to close the lower axial end, the base having an interior compartment containing a fluid permanently sealed therein, the fluid having a freezing point of about 0° C. or less; andan interior surface of the tubular member is convex, such that a thickness between the interior surface and an exterior surface of the tubular member varies, with a smallest thickness adjacent the upper and lower axial ends, and a largest thickness between the upper and lower axial ends. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein an interior surface of the tubular member has a symmetrical parabolic sectional shape from approximately the upper axial end to approximately the lower axial end. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the tubular member comprises an inner sleeve coupled to an outer sleeve, and the inner and outer sleeves are welded or crimped together. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein a bottom of the base is flat, a top of the base is convex, and the top of the base is configured to contact a bottom of the beverage container. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein an axial length of the tubular member is configured to be about 50% to about 100% of an axial length of the beverage container. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the freezing point of the fluid is in a range of about −1° C. to about −30° C. 7. The device of claim 1, further comprising an elastomer mounted to at least one of the tubular member and the base. 8. The device of claim 7, wherein the elastomer is an elastomeric collar and is formed from a thermoplastic elastomer. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein the elastomeric collar comprises a plurality of elastomeric collars. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein the elastomeric collar is located adjacent the upper end on an exterior of the tubular member, and extends axially beyond the upper end of the tubular member. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein the elastomeric collar envelopes the base other than a coupling extending from the base. 12. A device for a beverage container, comprising: a tubular member that is insulated and has an axis, an upper axial end and a lower axial end, both the upper and lower axial ends are open, and the tubular member is configured to receive and insulate a beverage container therein;a base removably coupled to the lower axial end of the tubular member to close the lower axial end, the base having an interior compartment containing a fluid permanently sealed therein, the fluid having a freezing point of about 0° C. or less, and a bottom of the base is flat, a top of the base is convex, and the top of the base is configured to contact a bottom of the beverage container; andan axial length of the tubular member is configured to be about 50% to about 100% of an axial length of the beverage container for serving a beverage from the beverage container while the beverage container is retained in the device. 13. The device of claim 12, wherein an interior surface of the tubular member is convex, such that a thickness between the interior surface and an exterior surface of the tubular member varies, with a smallest thickness at the upper and lower axial ends, and a largest thickness between the upper and lower axial ends. 14. The device of claim 12, wherein an interior surface of the tubular member has a symmetrical parabolic sectional shape from approximately the upper axial end to approximately the lower axial end. 15. The device of claim 12, further comprising elastomers mounted to the tubular member and the base, the elastomers comprise a thermoplastic elastomer, and one of the elastomers envelopes the base, other than a coupling extending from the base. 16. A device for a beverage container, comprising: a tubular member that is insulated and has an axis, an upper axial end and a lower axial end, both the upper and lower axial ends are open, the tubular member is configured to receive and insulate a beverage container therein, and a thickness between an interior surface and an exterior surface of the tubular member varies, and the interior surface of the tubular member has a symmetrical parabolic sectional shape;a base removably coupled to the lower axial end of the tubular member to close the lower axial end, the base having an interior compartment containing a fluid permanently sealed therein, the fluid having a freezing point of about 0° C. or less; andelastomers mounted to the tubular member and the base, and the elastomer mounted to the base envelopes the base, other than a coupling extending from the base. 17. The device of claim 16, wherein an axial length of the tubular member is configured to be not greater than 100% of an axial length of the beverage container. 18. The device of claim 16, wherein a bottom of the base is flat, a top of the base is convex, and the top of the base is configured to contact a concave bottom of the beverage container.
