How To Open A Beer Bottle With A Key And 7 Other Methods

Anchor the bottom of the bottle against a tabletop or your thigh for added stability.

This method works with any flat, strong object. If you don’t have a key, use a lighter, a coin, a metal spoon, or a flathead screwdriver.

If you can’t get anywhere using the teeth of the key, use the very tip of the key instead, and rock the rest of the key over your thumb for leverage.

Note that now you’ve opened the first bottle, you’ll have to use another method to open the second.

Note that this methods may result in a little bruising, and you should move on to another if it causes any discomfort to your finger.

Make sure the metal hardware is sturdy and won’t bend under the torque of the bottle. Grab a dish towel and hold it under the bottle as you twist it to catch any foam.

Practice caution here—we don’t recommend this method for anyone who couldn’t pass a breathalyzer.
