a conformable cooling pack sized to fit within the insulated first pocket and comprising a logo, wherein the logo is visible through the transparent portion;
a bottle opener attached to the cover via an attachment ring;
a carrying strap removably attachable to the flexible cover; and
wherein the insulated first pocket overlaps a portion of the cover comprised of material which is less insulative than the first pocket and is configured to allow the conformable cooling pack to cool the beverage container when held within the cover.
14. The portable beverage cooling cover as recited in claim 13 further comprising a removable cap.
15. The portable beverage cooling cover as recited in claim 13 further comprising a thermometer.
16. The portable beverage cooling cover as recited in claim 13 , wherein the conformable cooling pack is conformable to a diameter of the beverage container and the diameter ranges from about 6 to 8 inches.
17. The portable beverage cooling cover as recited in claim 13 , wherein the cover comprises a plurality of structural support ribs comprised of a select one of a flexible polyurethane, a rubber and a polystyrene.
18. The portable beverage cooling cover as recited in claim 13 further comprising a second pocket disposed at a base of the cover, and further wherein the first pocket is disposed in a surface of the cover.
19. A cooling cover for a container, the cooler cover comprising:
a cover having an insulated first pocket disposed within a front surface of the cover and a second pocket comprised of material which is less insulative than the first pocket disposed within a rear surface of the cover;
a conformable temperature maintenance pack, wherein the insulated first pocket is sized and configured to receive the conformable temperature maintenance pack;
a transparent portion positioned along a surface of the insulated first pocket;
a zippered closure disposed on the cover for opening and closing the cover around the container;
an opener connected to the zippered closure via an attachment ring;
a carrying strap removably attachable to the flexible cover; and
