Crazy Patents: Umbrella for your Beer

Hello!

This crazy patent takes us to the wild world of drinking beer. Many people around the world love to drink beer. It is normal for socializing with others over a beer or just watching a football game. For those of you who love beer, this invention might be of interest. Someone patented the Beer Umbrella which functions to protect your sacred beer from the harmful warm rays of the sun. When sitting down outside sipping on your cold beer, the last thing you want is to pick it up and it be a lukewarm beer due to the suns rays. The patent is a bit ridiculous because there are things called Koozies that help maintain coolness. However, this is in fact an ingenious non obvious patent that stands out as something completely original and serving a function of keeping your beer out of the sun. The description details a 5-7 inch diameter for the umbrella atop the beer which then can have logos added for advertisement. This kind of reminds me of those tiny umbrellas added to certain alcoholic drinks only a bit larger and more functional. Clearly, this is a fad that never caught on because it seems a bit ridiculous in practice.
