The term alludes to a carefully curated selection of beverages, typically alcoholic and often beer, intended for consumption in an outdoor, rural setting. This selection generally consists of six individual containers packaged together for convenience. An example might be a selection of craft beers enjoyed during a barbecue held in a large outdoor space with cultivated plants and natural features.
The advantage of this product lies in its portability and pre-selection of beverages, facilitating social gatherings and outdoor recreation. Historically, such packaged assortments provide an accessible means to share refreshments amongst groups, enhancing the conviviality of events. The convenience factor reduces the need for individual purchases and simplifies transportation.
