15 Ways To Open A Beer Without A Bottle Opener

In this post, we cover 15 different ways to open a brew without a bottle opener

With A Knife

open a beer with a knife

Every man should have a knife with him. Easily open a beer bottle with your knife. Doesn’t matter if it’s a fixed blade or folding knife.

See how to open your beer with a knife here.

With A Lighter

Got a lighter on you? Pop open your beer using a standard lighter as leverage.

With A Key

Not all keys are created equal. There are different keys you can use to crack open your brew.

Here’s how to open a better bottle with a car key.

Here’s how to open it with a normal house key.

With A Spoon

You can use a spoon as leverage as well to pop the cap off.

With Another Beer

This one is my favorite.

What better way to open a beer bottle than with… another beer bottle!

With Your Teeth

WARNING: Even though this is a cool method to use for opening your beer, you can also seriously cut your mouth and cause blood to splash everywhere, including inside your beer, which is the main priority here…

With Your Head

Way to use your head.

With A Banana

With A Dollar Bill

If the value of a dollar goes to zero. It won’t actually be zero, because you can still use it to open your beer. Worth every penny.

With A Ring

With A Coin

With A Zippo

With One Hand

With A Cucumber

Even a cucumber can be used by preppers to do more than what it should.

With Your Forearm

Conclusion

There are many ways to get that beer open. Pick one or do them all. I like to try all the methods to at least learn how to do it.

They make for great party tricks.

What do you like to open your brews with?
