Handed down from my grandfather who worked at the Goebel brewery in Detroit for a while.
Inspired by a recent thread on paint can openers as bottle openers, I thought I'd start this. What's your favorite opener?
I'm kind of partial to this one. $7 on Amazon. The Klein Bottle Opener (for you math geeks, no, it won't open a Klein Bottle).

My wife got me both so that's pretty much why I like and use them. Copper is from Nest on Canfield (same block as Traffic Jam and across the street from Third Man Records) in Detroit and the pewter one is from Urbanum in Detroit on Woodward.
I have an AC/DC one (well-worn but and on sabbatical) and, always ready, my razor sharp, chef's knife if I don't feel like walking four feet to a kitchen drawer and have had fewer than three beers.
The shark-tunnel (we call it a sharknado) is for our cats and is from 3 Dogs 1 Cat in Eastern Market (Detroit).
Oh, yeah! Finding good pizza places is a slight focus for me. I know Jolly Pumpkin is right next to The Traffic Jam (worth a look around).Jolly Pumpkin and some pizza
The one above the trash can in the kitchen
The one which is always in my pocket and the Craftsman wrench opener which hangs on the side of my kegerator.
I'd get on and drink that beer if it was handed down to you from your grandfather!!Handed down from my grandfather who worked at the Goebel brewery in Detroit for a while. View attachment 738625
Someone found my bottle opener offensive, or was it the texture of the table, not sure .. but the post got deleted. Although I thought it is 18+ forum anyway since it discusses topics about alcoholic beverages.
This is one of those rare occasions where I’d like to thank the censors for their vigilance and swift intervention.No. We have other places for not safe for work (NSW) type of posts. We may be a forum for like-minded adults to discuss brewing and quality fermented products, but it's not a place for dick pics or pseudo-dick picks.

Thanks! It actually reads 6/25. It’s a little worn and the picture is a little blurry. I have an old whisky barrel I played around with a still a few years ago I may need to revitalize. The shitty table top is throw away dresser in my garage.@apache_brew Happy 5th anniversary, almost! That's the wood anniversary...you need a whiskey barrel for aging a nice stout or something, and a new table
