Emergency Opener Preparedness

December 26, 2009 By Jay Brooks

opener-metal
Having been a hardcore Boy Scout when I was a kid, I always took to heart their motto: “Be Prepared.” As a result, I’m never without an opener. I keep it on my keychain. I used to go through two or tree of the cheap ones every year, because they kept wearing out. But around a decade ago someone from Anchor Brewery gave me a titanium opener they put their logo on and it’s still going strong today.

But what if you found yourself in a situation where you had a bottle of beer but were without an opener? Well, if you had a piece of paper, you could still open the bottle pretty easily. Just watch the instructional video below and you’ll never be unable to open a beer bottle, even if you’re lost in the woods without a bottle opener.

Here’s a second video which seem to show the process a little more simply.

In case you don’t have a piece of paper, here’s another video showing many other ways to open a beer bottle.

    ALWAYS good to know! My buddy does it with his teeth (ugh…), but at least he’ll always have a bottle opener handy!

    It was great meeting you at Russian River and Lagunitas last week. Cheers!

    I’ve seen this done with lighters a million times. Paper may work better as it has no combustible fluid in it.

    I always use the bottle to bottle technique, but you must remember to hold onto at least one bottle cap for when you get to the last beer you can push the free cap onto an empty bottle and pop it open.
