Made for camping, beach days, RV trips, and more. Made to enhance any adventure. Made for this.

What sets the BrüTank 35QT apart from the BrüTank 55QT?

The BrüTank 35QT is unlike any cooler you've ever seen. It is made for enhancing your adventures, from camping and beach days to RV trips, sporting events, house parties, and more. It is 30% lighter and smaller than its 55QT counterpart, allowing it to go wherever you go, while offering our signature removable 1.8-gallon drink tank with a built-in tap, puncture-resistant all-terrain wheels that effortlessly glide over any surface (including sand), a foam seat top, a built-in bottle opener, a wide variety of epic accessories, and 7+ day ice retention.



What is the capacity of the BrüTank 35QT?

The BrüTank 35QT features a 1.8 gallon drink tank to mix your favorite beverage right in the cooler.

The BrüTank also has the capacity for the following:

  • 30 12 oz cans
  • 8 bottles of wine or liquor.
  • 21 lbs of ice and drinks

As the name states, the BrüTank 35QT has a 35-quart capacity.


Can the BrüTank 35QT be used with warm beverages?

We do not recommend using the BrüTank with warm beverages.


Can the BrüTank 35QT be used with frozen beverages?

We do not recommend using the BrüTank with frozen beverages, as we cannot guarantee they will stay frozen for an extended period of time. 


Does the BrüTank 35QT maintain carbonation?

This is not suggested. Many outside factors can affect carbonation, and we cannot guarantee the BrüTank will hold in the carbonation.


Does the BrüTank 35QT come with accessories?

The BrüTank 35QT comes with an attached bottle opener and a spout cover. 

Check out our BrüMate Cooler Accessories Page for our other available BrüTank accessories.


Is the BrüTank 35QT available for purchase everywhere?

At this moment, we are only able to ship the BrüTank coolers to the Contiguous United States. We are currently exploring options for Alaska, Hawaii, outlying islands, and international shipping locations. We apologize for any inconvenience!

If you are looking to make an overseas or international BrüTank purchase, you can always have the item shipped to a freight-forwarder and then shipped to your final destination. We highly recommend setting up this service prior to making a purchase!

Please note: BrüMate does not cover any additional costs for shipping a BrüTank or other items through these services. Any items lost or damaged in transit by the freight-forwarder would also not be covered by BrüMate.


How do I pack the BrüTank 35QT?

With the Drink Tank inserted and using the Black Ice™ Pack, you can fit three 2lb ice packs on the bottom (side-by-side) or one 3lb ice pack flat on the bottom of the cooler. Then, you can pack your favorite drinks on top, layering with ice as you go.

How do I switch the BrüTank spout to a standard plug?

Remove the contents of the BrüTank. Unscrew the interior threaded stopper counter-clockwise, and pull the tap out from the front of your BrüTank. Then, remove the drink tank. To clean, use a mild dish soap and warm water.

We recommend cleaning the drink tank after each use. To clean, make sure the tap or cooler plug are removed and remove the drink tank from the cooler. Use mild dish soap and warm water to clean the drink tank.

To install the cooler plug, repeat the process in reverse. Insert the plug into the BrüTank, ensuring that the gaskets provide a proper seal and are aligned. From the interior of the BrüTank, screw the threaded stopper clockwise to seal the cooler plug.

Always ensure that your tap or cooler plug is tightened securely and the gaskets are aligned to avoid leaks.


Why is my drink tank slow to release liquid?

When your BrüTank pours slowly, you can speed up the flow by opening the top vent plug to release pressure.

Heads up: Mixed drinks with pulp or fruit could potentially slow down the flow of liquid.


How do I remove/insert the drink tank into the BrüTank 35QT?

Drink tank instructions and photos are provided with the BrüTank. We have also provided written instructions below:

To insert/remove the drink tank:

  1. With the spout removed, slide the drink tank into the cooler and ensure it is seated securely.

  2. Line up the hole on the drink tank with the hole on the exterior. 

  3. Insert the tap through the cooler and tank. Hand-tighten firmly to prevent leaks and test the tank with water before filling it with drink mix to ensure there are no leaks.

  4. Follow these steps in reverse to remove the drink tank.

To remove/replace the drink tank lid:

  1. Begin with the BrüMate logo facing you.

  2. Lift open the black latch (parallel to the BrüMate logo).

  3. Use the clear tab with the BrüMate logo to lift the lid off the drink tank.

  4. Follow these steps in reverse to replace the drink tank lid. 

Pro Tip: You can also use the cooler without the drink tank to increase ice capacity!


How do I clean the BrüTank?

Cleaning instructions are provided with the BrüTank. We have also provided these instructions below:

  1. Remove the drink tank from the BrüTank
  2. Disassemble the tap or plug and remove the drink tank
  3. Clean the tank and cooler with a mild dish detergent and hot water
  4. Rinse the tap thoroughly with hot, soapy water and allow all components to dry completely
  5. Ensure components are tightly fastened before use to prevent leakage

WARNING: Do not leave the BrüTank lid open during periods of long sun exposure while the drink tank is inserted.

Extra Tips for Cleaning:
The removable BrüTank accessories are dishwasher-safe on the top rack!

After use, clean your BrüTank with a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Make sure to remove the drink tank after each use to ensure no moisture gets trapped underneath, and clean other areas prone to debris collection like the drain plug and lid gasket. 

Completely dry your BrüTank before storing it with the lid closed.


How long does the BrüTank 35QT hold ice?

There are many variables that can affect ice retention in your BrüTank. Some of these variables include the ice quality/quantity, type of ice (crushed, block, cube, dry), outside environment, and exposure to direct sunlight. Because of these variables, as well as the lack of an industry standard for measuring ice retention, ice retention timelines are not definitive and based on ideal conditions. 

The BrüTank offers rotomolded construction with closed-cell foam insulation, combined with a sealing gasket. Beyond that, every other variable is out of our control, unfortunately. If you can minimize the negative variables that affect ice retention, the BrüTank will be sure to keep your ice and drinks super cold!

A few other tips to help maximize your BrüTanks ice retention:

  • Chill your drinks before putting them into BrüTank
  • Use high-quality ice and ice that is completely frozen
  • The more ice the better, keep out of direct sunlight or extremely high temperatures and keep the BrüTank closed
  • Keep the cold water in the cooler
  • Rock salt can help keep your drinks super cold
  • Pre-cool the BrüTank with 3-5 pounds of ice around an hour before loading it up.
  • If using the drink dispenser, the drink mix should be either pre-chilled, or at least 40% of the drink mix should be ice.

If you’d like to test how well your BrüTank works, you can fill the cooler completely with ice and no water. In perfect conditions, your ice can last up to 9 days.
