I dont do beer very often. It makes you fat----------That said, I tend to use the following substances for my highlife. And no opener is needed and they go much better with a fine cigar.

Almost always, I use my Leatherman knife with built-in bottle opener

If I'm tailgating, I use one of these or my Reef sandals

and if for some reason I am without those, I use the end of a bumper, hitch, shelf, etc. and do the "Ninja Chop"

If I'm out of the house I use opener one of my sponsors gave me. It's on my keyring.

If I'm in the house I usually use my $200 Wusthof Dreizack cooks knife. It is usually sitting on the bench opposite the fridge. I use a technique similar to the lighter trick but the flat of the blade levers off the top of your hand.

I don't think the German gentlemen that make these knives had this use in mind when they made them. :bounce:

Thirty years ago or so - before twist offs - I used to use my back teeth, just sort of hook the cap in there someplace and pry. That isn't the only stupid thing I ever did.

Simple old school opener with high capacity catch can. There is something satisfying about the "clink" sound of the cap hitting the can - "nothing but net".

Mounted near my "Man Law" rules so all guests are aware of proper etiquette.

You know, I can twist off caps all day long (non-twist off, I have an opener on my house key-ring, and an opener on the fridge), yet today I was very nearly defeated by a plastic cap on one of those green tea bottles. Talk about very nearly loosing my man card!

Fortunately only one guy saw me, so all is good.

Right now, though, I'm working through a Heineken mini-keg.

My dad taught me a million years ago how to open with an Estwing hammer; the one with the flat, metal shaft. Any golf club will work out on the course as well.

My favorite of all time though, is the "Popener" I got from a friend who went to Rome. Seriously. Pope John Paul II on one side with the Vatican on the other side straight from the center of Catholicism! One of my prized possessions.

Yet another idea to be stolen and re-used . Sure beats the "Happy birthday Mom, we love you" on my white board right now :beer:

I thought Zima was twist off?

:bounce::spit:

Nice, adds the taste of dog ****, snot, spit, and every other substance that winds up on the surface of what you walked on, right where the top of your beer bottle is.

Might want to be careful what you step in before you open your beer! :bounce:


I'm no germaphobe, BUT I couldn't drink a beer opened with an opener that was literally drug across the men's room floor.

1. Hold beer bottle vertically in one hand with only the edge of the cap resting on the sharp edge of a work bench.
2. Use the other hand to swiftly hit the top of the beer bottle in a downward motion.
3. Drink beer.
4. Repeat as necessary.

I do something similar, but use another bottle of beer for the opener. Once you get to the last bottle, you have to put a cap on an empty to open the last bottle.

I've got a couple Bell System bottle openers. They are ceramic and look like a hard hat from the top, turn it upside down and there is a bottle opener!
