I like beer. I like it cold. I have a 600 quid budget - bar the winter and shoreline power - please propose how i can keep my beers cold (and maybe some butter)
Thank you <3

At this time of year just keep it in the gas locker.

On Shapfell (a yoghurt pot) there is a sectioned bilge, I keep my wine/beer/milk etc in one of the sections

Sorry, but beer shouldn't be cold.
Neither should butter.
Just saying.

A bottle of Hobgoblin from the bilge, is a pleasant drink on a summer evening. As is a nice cool bottle of Pinot Gris or Rose d'Anjou for a bankside picnic.
Cool stubbies of continental 2% soft drinks are an ideal refreshment after working a manual lock and still leave you capable of working the next ones. They are however totally undrinkable at room temperature. (It is also wise to hide the label from passing traditionalists)

I keep my beer in a large industrial fridge located in premises with a sign over the door saying OFF LICENSE Their fridges do vary but I usually find it feasible to acquire cold beer fairly readily unless I am somewhere really out of the way. Petrol stations can be handy too  |

Petrol stations can be handy too I have been known to pursue beer in rather adverse conditions for example rowing across the river then walking across several fields and through hedges in Oxfordshire. The reward makes it worthwhile. If I try to store beer I just end up consuming more than I would like to so I vaguely limit myself by making it more tricky to get hold of |

For proper beer (bitter) it's best served around cellar temperature of 12°C which should be quite achievable without a fridge at this time of year - brrrr! Can't say that drinking l*ger appeals to me at this time of year - are you thinking ahead to summer when a cold one goes down a treat?  |

As most above, i kept drinks cool in the bilges in the past, i was going to buy one the project boat but at around £500 quid i cnat justify that amount for the little use it will get and do. And never will i waste the money to keep larger cool, wouldnt even waste the space on board, like drinking nats piss, not that i have ever drank it, few real ales maybe but mainly cider I am just going to make a cool box to fit in where a fridge will/mite go at a later date. This should do for the summer months with ice packs in for a weekend. |

Pubs and restaurants sometimes get broccoli delivered with crushed ice in a nice polystyrene box which gets thrown away  , so worth asking any regular haunts if/when they might have a spare one. www.google.co.uk/search?q=broccoli+polystyrene+box&tbm=ischMaybe a bit big but could wedge some offcuts of polystyrene in to make the walls much thicker. Would have thought an eleccy fridge setup with solar will start at a few hundred, that buys a lot of supermarket ice - or a friendly pub landlord may even give you some if you have a meal at a quieter time. |
