A high-quality bottle opener is the beer aficionado’s best friend. And yet it can be tough to find one that is as badass as it is functional. Whether you’re looking for something to complete your home bar or you never again want to find yourself away from home with an unopenable beer (which is almost as bad as having to fight off a shark while swimming), our list of six of the coolest bottle openers in 2022 is sure to help you find the perfect tool for the job (and save your fingers and furniture).
Black Dinosaur Bottle Opener
Go prehistoric on all your favorite beers with this cast-iron dinosaur bottle opener. This T-Rex is so well-sculpted it can double as decor when not in use, and watching it tear bottle caps off with its powerful jaws never gets old.
Cap Zappa Bottle Opener
It seems such a waste to toss bottle caps in the trash after you’ve opened your brew, especially when you could be using them as projectiles to launch at your unsuspecting friends. Once you’ve got your bottle open, just press the button and watch your cap fly across the room.
Road Popper Bottle Opener
While we can’t rightly condone drinking and cycling, if you’re a guy who travels primarily via bike, the Road Popper still comes in handy. Made with bronze-infused stainless steel, the Road Popper mounts below your bike saddle and lets you crack open your favorite bottled beverages on the go. And if you’re stopping and staying a while at your destination, you just might be able to enjoy a brewski or two as well.
The Hook Sunglasses with Built-In Bottle Opener
Look fly and imbibe with ease with The Hook from William Painter. These shades have polarized lenses and a sleek, sturdy titanium frame with built-in bottle openers, so you’ll never be stuck under the sun without a cold one.
Kikkerland Elephant Bottle Opener
This little fella has a modern, minimalist design that looks great and functions even better. The elephant’s body is made of beechwood, and his stainless-steel head and tail turn into a bottle opener and corkscrew when you’re ready for your favorite drink.
Tuncily Credit Card Multitool
If you’re a frequent camper or hiking enthusiast, this multitool is an excellent companion. Aside from making easy work of bottle caps, it also includes a can opener, sharp edge, flat screwdriver, ruler, 3 wrenches, saw blade, a direction auxiliary indicator, and a lanyard hole to easily attach it your key ring. All of this is wrapped up into a credit-card-sized stainless-steel package that’s compact enough to slip into your wallet.
