How to Open a Beer with Another Beer

Published on Thursday, January 8, 2009, by CHOW Video Team / Edit Post

Former CHOW copyeditor Keith Laidlaw shows how to open a bottle of beer using another bottle of beer. It’s a handy trick to break out, especially in the midst of a Super Bowl party (when you don’t want to miss a crucial play) or any event where you’re reluctant to leave your seat to hunt for an opener.

  • I know him and he'd be happy to talk all day ;)

  • There's a million ways to open a beer without an opener - key, countertop, seatbelt buckle, screwdriver, folded dollar bill (really), and anything else that can be used as a lever.

  • This is serious shit. The astronauts did this when they landed on the moon (after they planted the flag)

  • Love his accent - I could listen to him all day!!!

  • The last one you open with an empty one. How? By putting a bottlecap back on top of an empty bottle. This requires hardly any force and works like a charm. If you don't want to fool people into thinking that beer is still full take the cap back off again.

  • The only problem I see with this one is how to open the last one. Other than that, pretty neat trick!
