That said, I was unaware that my lowly cooler is, indeed, a "magic cooler." When all was said and done, I ended up with an even greater variety of libations afterwards than I had brought originally, and almost as many bottles. This was due to 1. long stretches during two evenings when I was Off Doing Other Things, and so the unsupervised "magic cooler" was added to by others looking for a good home for what they brought, and 2. "donations" at the end of the con from those flying elsewhere and unable to take their refreshments with them.
Here is the tally:
- Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
- Buffalo Bills Orange Blossom Cream Ale
