Hey this may be a stupid thread and the start of a PUI but how do ya'll open yer bottles? I've used various church keys, cork-screws w/cap attachments. Can openers and counter tops. Hell I'll use a plastic lighter. But my baby is a cabinet mounted cast aluminium bottle opener over my kitchen sink. Installed it myself... Anyway it cost next to nothing and should last for a lifetime. Cap drops into my palm and with a toss- the trash!

Merry Easter...

I use a bic lighter. It dont bend the caps out of shape, then I glue the caps on the volume& tone knobs on my '57 Strat. Looks cool and give me a better feel when I want to edge the
tone or volume a little.

I have a bottle opener on my keychain a-la Lawrence from Office Space just so I can say "That's all right, i got one"

My favorite is a credit-card type opener that I got from a gift shop at Busch Gardens, fits in my wallet.

+1 to the wall-mount. i believe every home brewery should have one. mine's in the kitchen and was the first thing i installed when i moved it. it's like planting a flag. "a brewer lives here!"

Beer hammer...

actually, i have a boulder beer co bottle opener on my keychain. i used to have an AHA one, but it broke.

I've got a beer hammer too. Mostly for beer, but I have used the hammer too. Got it for a Father's Day gift. It's a good conversation starter or maybe that is the beer

Anybody ever see this before? I think it's hilarious. Pretty good convo starter as well.

Red, plastic-encased, electronic, talking Homer Simpson model. When you open a bottle he says,"Mmmmmm beer..." (Opening and pouring noise) "Oh yeah, woo-hoooo!"

I keep a magnetic bottle/can opener on the beer fridge door. I can practically toss it back to sticking (with a little practice and not too many beers). I always know where it is. Of course it's amazing how many of my friends set it down on a table or workbench forcing me to search for it. Someday I'll happen across a wall mounted one at a garage sale or something and upgrade.

I had one of those talking openers, but since I keg, I couldn't ever use. So, I added a photo cell across the opener contacts and put it in my beer fridge. Now, whenever I open the door and the light comes on, it says "Oh yeah, time for beer".

i guess i'm a bottle opener whore...i have many of the ones you guys are talking about. i have the wall mount, the beer hammer, the homer, a new belgium brewery one on my keychain (my wife has a bells one on hers in case we take her car somewhere) and about half a dozen other non-descript ones scattered throughout the house. i like to have options...

I just chew em off.

Hilarious, Brewboy.

The one used most often at home: a plain old metal Collinsware / Collins Bros bottle opener engraved w/ the name and Evanston, IL on it (made in Taiwan?!) that I recall picking up (w/ imported 6-pack, upon realizing we had no opener) at Davis Street Liquors in Evanston, IL on the way to do a radio show at WNUR - we usually had some sort of beer with us. I'm sure it helped with... ratings.

I have the keychain bottle opener as well. "Be prepared" is a good motto.

I like to keep a few of that type laying around the house too so there is always one in easy reach. I've also got a couple of the usual metal variety in the kitchen.

I have a bottle opener on each of my key chaines, just in case. I used to have a talking 3 stooges opener, but it's been AWOL for over a year. That was my favorite.

I use the one with red handles in the kitchen drawer for utensils. It's pretty cool because it will also open cans
of spaghetti sauce and also soup cans.

The only thing cooler than my Homer opener is my Three Stooges opener . . . the wall-mounted model is probably the most used, though . . .

I've got a talking opener that lets you record your own message. Mine says "My beer sucks"....

Find an old Bud can on the side of the road, I'm sure nobody has them layin' 'round th' house right, call the 1-800 number and tell them how much you really "love" there new Michelob recipe and they will send you a free bottle open. It's a pretty good one, the bottle opener.

Yeah but, only when you open a bottle from N8 right?

That's odd Dconn, I would have guessed yours would say "N8's beer sucks"

CLB

That's what my other one says.

I use the seat belt buckle from my car seat

Last of the big spenders there, TimO.

Hey, its the most handy device when I'm 'out and about'

I have old one I've had for years on key ring. Country Club M.K Goetz Brewing co. St. Joseph Mo.

TimO - for the 'ol road soda I presume!

I have a 'Wally' like Malone, a Victory Brewing opener on my keychain, and a wallmount opener I pilfered from a hotel room in Boston when I was 21 (I am now 37)..

This is my favorite... I like to collect different bottle caps and this one does minimal damage.

Frank, the police are on their way to your house, right now. There's apparently no statue of limitations on bottle opener theft.
