Beer Bottle Openers
The following types of beer bottle openers are used around the world.


Crown Cork Beer Bottle Openers

This was Invented around the same time as the”bar blade” beer bottle opener. In addition to being portable it also comes as a fixed device to be attached to vertical surfaces, often with a tray to catch the bottle tops. Again, though, it does not open wine. It is class 2 fulcrum type.


Simple Beer Bottle Openers

A simple opener is just a piece of metal with a rectangular or rounded opening in one end and a solid handle large enough to be gripped between the thumb and forefingers on the other. The opening contains a lip that is placed under the edge of the bottle top, pulling it off when upward force is applied to the handle end of the opener. This type of opener is small and durable, so it is frequently used as a key fob.

Bar Blade Beer Bottle Openers

A relatively new trend in opening. It is a flat blade of steel approximately 4 cm wide and 16 cm long with a thumb hole at one end and a letterbox cut at the other to remove the caps from beers and soft drinks. Bar blade beer bottle openers have gained fashion appeal through widespread usage by professional bartenders in Canada, the USA, and most notably the UK. Carried in the pocket or against the body or on a zip string, it is both convenient and fast for the modern bartender. Its obvious disadvantage is that it does not remove corks. It also differs in being used primarily as a first-class lever (instead of a second-class lever).

Wall-Mounted Beer Bottle Openers

Works in the same way as the lever variation. The only difference is that  wall-mounted beer bottle openers are attached to the wall, to allow for simpler bottle-opening with one hand. The bottle cap can fall into a bottle cap catcher mounted below the opener, or you can retrieve it after removal from the bottle. The most famous wall mounted beer bottle opener manufacturer, Brown Mfg. Company, has been producing bottle openers since 1925. A Brown Mfg. Co. bottle opener carries the trademark “STARR” at the base of the opener.

NOVELTY DESIGNS – FLIP FLOP


In recent years beer bottle openers has taken many forms. A few examples of the designer bottle opener include the inclusion of a bottle opener in the sole of a flip flop, in the form of a ring that can be worn, as part of a belt buckle, or in the shape of a house or car key.
