Show us your favorite bottle opener

Someone found my bottle opener offensive, or was it the texture of the table, not sure .. but the post got deleted. Although I thought it is 18+ forum anyway since it discusses topics about alcoholic beverages.

No. We have other places for not safe for work (NSW) type of posts. We may be a forum for like-minded adults to discuss brewing and quality fermented products, but it's not a place for dick pics or pseudo-dick picks.

This is one of those rare occasions where I’d like to thank the censors for their vigilance and swift intervention.

I have a SS credit card one I like. Fits in my wallet too.

We bought a few back from Bali, but I doubt I’ll be able to post a pic of them haha.

I’ll use anything close by that I think will work. Lighter, screwdriver, knife, or even the square edge of my saw table. I used to use my teeth in my younger years ( twist top ) Not now though

 

[ScrewyBrewer]

A custom made beer decapper, it is a birthday gift to me from my son.

Alright heres another one then. An old style bottle opener made in the USSR. The longer part is for opening tin cans.

Nobody makes people post here; if they don't like the rules....

 

[KYBLUE]

Usually in a good mood when this one is handy.

I have a few. The one I keep on my keychain doesn’t work terrifically but it also doubles as a screwdriver. The next is a wooden one carved into a lion my parents brought back from Africa. Three old school openers that were my grandfather’s that I acquired after he passed away, Lucky Lager, Budweiser, and Bergermeister with a cartoon of Bergie. The Craftsman one that is indestructible, a tiki opener, an antique silver handled one, the largest one I own, and my favorite, the old school church key and corkscrew combo.

 

[Immocles]

I have three regulars.
first up is the cheapo that stays in the kitchen.

Then is the best gift I ever received from a niece, has been on my keychain for three vehicles, two houses, and well over a decade.

And finally, the basement bottle opener. Got talked into going on a castle tour from an insanely cute redhead I met while in Munich. I felt obliged to buy something at the gift shop afterwards. I was actually pretty bummed cuz there was a much cooler looking castle a few miles away, but like I said, she was cute.

May not be the prettiest, but it works

 

[Smaug]

Couldn't pick one, so these are my three favorites/most used

A friend brought back this hand-carved opener for me from Cameroon a few years ago when he was there on a teacher exchange program.

I drew this up in CAD and had them laser cut for my wedding. Handed them out to my groomsmen. I was a little bummed that the curves didn’t translate to the laser path, but the price from a buddy was free. They get the job done.

@apache_brew Happy 5th anniversary, almost! That's the wood anniversary...you need a whiskey barrel for aging a nice stout or something, and a new table

Thanks! It actually reads 6/25. It’s a little worn and the picture is a little blurry. I have an old whisky barrel I played around with a still a few years ago I may need to revitalize. The ****** table top is throw away dresser in my garage.

I have one of those big spoons. Great idea. Think I'll take a Dremel to it and make it multifunctional.

When my wife's brother visited Kansas City, we toured the Harley Davidson plant (just before they shut it down) and I got this in the gift shop. Ever since then, it's been my favorite opener. I like the heft of it and I like the angle.

 

[D.B.Moody]

I don't actually use this to open bottles, because that would just be stupid, but it is stored in my brauhause in that it's in a cabinet above the kitchen stove. And the name on the handle is so close to what might have inspired it.

Go Brewers!

My Favorite!

 

[KRB]

Love this thread- got to thinking about my favorite. I have them littered all over the house, the garage, the bbq outside and even in the truck (only for use when camping). Started to take photos and realized my favorite is the one that is closest when the need arises. Here they are-

Little green army man. Doesn’t work too well but funny.

Who doesn’t need a purple gecko? Lives in the garage.

Wife brought this to the marriage. Love the weight as it is pretty heavy.

Birthday present from the wife- doesn’t get much use since it lives out next to the pizza oven and kegerator.

And the last one - the only one I am aware of- was done as a mock up by my brothers friend. Kept it in my office when I worked there.

Our daughter had this one made for me.

My investment cast spoke wrenches back when I worked at a bike shop. And Bundesrepublik opener I got from my grandfather.

 

[Barbarossa]

Right where I need it most

Worth it!
