1. An insulated beverage sleeve assembly comprising:
a cylinder being configured to insertably receive a beverage container, said cylinder being comprised of a thermally insulating material wherein said. cylinder is configured to inhibit thermal communication between the beverage container and ambient air;
a first flap being movably attached to said cylinder, said first flap being closeable to close said cylinder;
a second flap being movably attached to said cylinder, said second flap being closeable to close said cylinder;
a top insulator being releasably matable to said first flap wherein said top insulator is configured to engage the beverage container, said top insulator being comprised of a thermally insulating material wherein said top insulator is configured to retain the beverage container at a selected temperature;
a bottom insulator being releasably matable to said second flap wherein said bottom insulator is configured to engage the beverage container, said bottom insulator being comprised of a thermally insulating material wherein said configured to retain the beverage container at the selected temperature;
a cooling sleeve being insertable into said cylinder wherein said cooling sleeve is configured to surround the beverage container, said cooling sleeve being comprised of a refrigeratable material wherein said cooling sleeve is configured to be refrigerated thereby facilitating said cooling sleeve to cool the beverage container;
wherein said cylinder has a top end, a bottom end and an outer wall extending therebetween, each of said top end and said bottom end being open;
wherein said first flap has a bottom surface and a perimeter edge, said perimeter edge being attached to said top end of said cylinder at an attachment point located on said perimeter edge, said bottom surface resting on said top end of said cylinder when said first flap is closed;
wherein said top insulator has a first surface, a second surface and outer edge extending therebetween, each of said first surface and said outer edge comprising a fabric engaging material such that said first surface is releasably matable to said bottom surface of said first flap and said outer edge is releasably matable to an inside surface of said outer wall of said cylinder When said first flap is closed;
wherein said second surface has a well extending toward said second surface wherein said well is configured to accommodate a top end of the beverage container said outer edge having a tab extending away therefrom, said tab being comprised of a fabric engaging material such that said tab is releasably matable to said inside surface of said outer wall of said cylinder;
a first magnet being coupled to said tab such that said first magnet is exposed when said tab is mated to said inside surface of said outer wall of said cylinder; and
a second magnet being coupled to said second surface of said insulator such that said second magnet is positioned in said well, said second magnet magnetically engaging said first magnet through said outer wall when said first flap is folded over said outer wall of said cylinder such that said first flap is secured to said outer wall when said first flap is not closed on said cylinder.
