Bikes and beer go together pretty well I think. But sometimes you forget your bottle opener on the trail... and that sucks. Post up some different ways you've figured out how to pop open a cold one without using a bottle opener.
Here's four we've used for a while... and a couple of ideas that didn't really work out.
The trusty SPD bottle opener:

Things that didn't work...
Using the side-knobs of a spinning tire:

How drunk are you right now, FredLikesTrikes? That's a lot of beers!
.
Unfortunately, I cannot get through a whole bottle/can/glass of beer before it actually just starts tasting bad!
FruckedUp taste buds? My Father's fault? My Mother's? Damn them all!
.
So I gave up drinking... seeing as how it's more frustrating and wasteful stopping halfway through the effort (that's what she said!)... than not starting at all!
.
So I sit there and make loud noises about how, "...GREAT THIS ROOT/GINGER BEER IS! WOW, IS THIS GOOD! YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE MISSING! Wanna try some? Get your own straw though... I don't like coodies!"
