What's The Strangest Way You've Opened A Beer?

[Jurassic410]

I almost never use a bottle opener for some reason, I like to just grab whatever is in front of me to pop a cap off, everything from screwdrivers to silverware, really anything with a flat edge on it. The weirdest thing that comes to mind is a 2x4. Usually my favorite tool is the end of a lighter to pop off a cap. This thought randomly came to mind seeing the chameleon bottle openers on the front page. I think they look pretty cool but I thought to myself " I almost never use a bottle opener why the hell would I need that?".

A piece of paper also works in a pinch...

I popped a Corona cap straight into my boss's forehead once, using an ice scoop. I always use an opener. I keep 2 on my keychain actually...

I have three openers on me most of the time... a keychain, a pocket knife, and one of these: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/756e/

A rite of passage for many an engineering graduate in Canada is to be able to open a beer with their Iron Ring. For those that don't know, the Iron Ring is an iron or steel ring worn on the pinky of their working hand. To open a beer with it requires a short windup, and a willingness to carve up your hand.

My buddy also kicked the cap off a few times, that was pretty entertaining.

I always got a kick out of this one.

I have friend that does the same with his Naval Academy ring; calls it the world's most expensive bottle opener.

I've heard the exact same line about the Iron Ring.

It's been almost 15 years since I got mine... I shudder to think what it costs to get one these days.

^^^ I used to date a girl that would do this same thing too. Gotta love them Montana ladies

I was working a catering once at the marina. The nice lady that ran the ships' store let us pick up a 6 pack for feeding her crew (and sweating our beans off running around). I grabbed a sixer of Newcastle, and being a mostly BMC drinker at the time never even thought about a bottle opener. We get down the road, ready for a cold one and couldn't find a single thing to open them with. Found out a pair of serving tongs and some torque was just the ticket.

I've seen more than one person open a beer with a rock.
Not by bashing off the lid, but by actually popping it open as if the rock were a proper opener.
I have even seen people do this with a completely smoothed cobble from a wash. I tried to do the same and failed miserably. (But maybe that's what separates geologists from geophysicists after all?)

I use the inside lip of my empty bottle.

There was this one occasion, a real long time ago, when I twisted the cap off a "beer"':shudders:

That was definitely the strangest.

Now I just use my wedding ring to open every bottle.

Sabering is always pretty cool. (this is not my video)

Wastes more beer than it's worth, but it's fun

Many moons ago....
I was under-age trying to open a beer without an opener, I went into the bathroom stall. I used a metal corner on the door frame to pop open the beer. Funny that I still remember that.
