The Polar ICE Pitcher is made from the new Eastman Tritan copolyester known for its durability & clarity, it has an Aluminum Polar ICE Chamber (not a plastic ice chamber like most competitors) the Aluminum has a superior ability to transfer the cold from the ice to your chilled beverage without dilution from the ice. Just fill the ice chamber from the bottom and you are set, your beverage will stay much colder for much longer. The Polar ICE Pitcher is approximately 8 1/2" Tall and holds up to 60 ounces of chilled beverage + additional 12 ounces of ice in the separate Polar ICE Chamber. The lids are sold separately since most bars & restaurants serve draft beer in these and do not need the lids. Just check our store for lids, extra caps, etc...
