I've employed the "smacking the lid against a hard edge" method to good effect. I've seen people do the tooth thing, but no thanks.

I have a bottle opener on my keychain. No need for anything fancy.

If I said, I'd be banned permanently (well, okay, probation, but for awhile), but muscles would be involved...and personally, I'd enjoy it. :D

It is a popular party trick around here.

There is missing the one with train window. Some european trains have sliding windows and all you have to do is hold the bottle to the edge and slide the window up.

I watched my friend at the LBS open one with one of the tools that I believe it used to rebend rims.

oooh when we were gofling once, a buddy smacked the top against something to open it. By the time he realized that the top of the bottle had broken off, he was already twisting the lemon into the top of his corona bottle. He bled the whole day.

A piece of paper. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrXmDiYHUY0)

Personally though I just find a hard edge near by, put the tip of the cap on the edge, hit the cap, and off it goes. Works great seeing how as I drink non-twist off while frisbee golfing and never remeber a bottle opener.

Having spent much of the past 30 years doing live concert & event production (audio engineer, production manager, roadie, stage technician) and/or performing as a musician, I learned that the Nielsen/Sessions® locking latch that comes on most heavy-duty equipment travel cases is the bees knees for opening beer bottles.

But I usually use the "smacking the lid against a hard edge" method.

Well thats why you use PM's :D

Years ago I had just moved into my house in Inverness in scotland, when I discovered I had no bottle opener, tin opner etc.

But I had cold bottles of Stella :)

I discovered the corner of my kitchen sink worked perfectly, never broke a bottle doing it that way either.

Now, see, you guys just all misunderstood me. :rolleyes: Sheesh! Let me break this down:

"If I said, I'd be banned permanently (well, okay, probation, but for awhile)" As in, I could add some descriptive lines that would be inappropriate and thus irritate the Mods (my particular post style in case any of you haven't noticed :p )

"but muscles would be involved..." As in, a hot cyclist from the testosterone camp who would use his muscles to twist the cap off with his bare hands.

"and personally, I'd enjoy it." As in, after he opened my bottle for me, I'd get busy licking the froth off the stem of his.

You people are just so dirty minded. :D

Opener on key ring.

Ditto. I liked the guy on The Man Show who opened a beer can with his teeth. He just bit into the side of the can and drank the beer as it sprayed out. On that memorable show another bloke broke a bottle of beer over his head, a big dude chugged an entire pitcher, and an exotic dancer crunched an empty can with her left ______ .

HAHA - good one.

I've personally done the two bottle opening technique, car doors make a wonderful tool when in dire straits as well.

But as an ex-bartender - I always seem to travel with one of my very nice bottle and wine openers too.

Years ago, a little towny bar that I hung in - at last call one of the bartenders would come out with a case of the smaller bottles of beers - and open then with his back teeth and shoot them out to people. Talked to him a few years ago and he's got crowns on all those back teeth ... ouchies!

yeah the tooth method is not a great idea...caps are tougher than teeth.

I personally like the keyring method....place keyring edge under cap (holding ring like a guitar pick, just more secure), and go.

uhm, if it's got a twist-top, it probably isn't beer...
