Beer Lanyard | Founded by The Whiting Family | Festival Accessory

The Whiting family’s journey as founders of Beer Lanyard is a story of innovation, family, and passion. Jack and Ben, alongside their dad Kevin, came up with the idea at a beer festival, inspired by a practical need and a desire to enhance the festival experience. Kevin, who has arthritis in both shoulders, found it increasingly difficult to hold his beer comfortably while enjoying the event. Watching their dad struggle sparked an idea in Jack and Ben—what if there were a hands-free way to carry your drink that was both practical and fun? This moment of necessity led to the birth of Beer Lanyard, the ultimate festival accessory designed to make life easier for everyone.

The Whiting family worked together to develop and refine their product, combining functionality, durability, and vibrant designs. What began as a simple idea to help their dad enjoy festivals turned into a mission to improve the festival experience for others while promoting sustainability. Today, Beer Lanyard is not only a solution for Kevin but a festival must-have that’s loved by thousands. The family’s passion and teamwork are at the heart of the brand, making Beer Lanyard a unique product born out of care, creativity, and the desire to share a little joy and convenience with the world.
