    You can open it with anything that has a hard edge. I'll demonstrate the key option one day if I remember to (a) video it, and (b) share it here. At my age neither is certain.

    I used to use the bottom of a lighter when I was younger. Lever it with the thumb as fulcrum iirc. In fact the bottom of an opinel works well too. But it does get sore on the thumb after a few times.

    There is a warning on the linked page that some of the methods described could be dangerous. Please be sensible and if in doubt, buy your beer at a pub where they will not only open it for you, but will pour it into a glass too.

    Enjoy...

    ...and here's the link using just paper (yes paper) to open your bottled beer.

    Impressive. That's looks like the way I've used lighter (and opinels) in thee past.
