You'll have to take my word for it that the bottle was open. I wish the cap had stuck to my arm for that last photo, instead of exposing an alarming vortex of puckered skin. Good lord, am I that jowly? Don't worry, you can almost always do this without breaking the skin at all. The Internet supplies us with this unillustrated how-to. My technique is a little different: I hold the bottle in my left hand, and open it by pivoting my right arm counter-clockwise from the elbow.
Of course, there aren't that many West Coast snob-worthy beers that come in screw-tops. Lagunitas is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. [Update 2009/04/30 (and later): Full Sail, Terminal Gravity, Hale's, Alaska Brewing, MacTarnahan's.] Are Bridgeport sixers twist offs? Opening a growler with your forearm isn't very dramatic.
My trick isn't so great when you compare it to this:
The guy sniffs the bottle! Dude, you need to find the bottlecap!
That's a dangerous trick with Lagunitas...they glue their caps on, and I've got the scars to prove it.
ReplyDeleteOne must ALWAYS sniff the High Life after a tittie-twister.
Non-Session Full Sail bottles are twisty, too...I don't think Bridgeport's are. You should buy me a six-pack so I can find out for you.
ReplyDeleteDave: Next time I see you in your bikini I'll bring over some Bridgeport to try.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to wait in line with the rest of the riff-raff...it'll have to be soon, while it's still a tit bit nipply outside.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if that woman had tried to open a bottle of Saint Arnold that way she'd have given herself a mastectomy.
ReplyDeleteWow, this blog has really gone down hill... maybe you should review Genny Light next? A Rochester favorite! That could definitely be opened with a boob. Hope she didn't get any milk in it.
ReplyDeleteJill: Milk? Probably not. You have a one-track mind.
ReplyDeleteTimes are tough, people are trading down to twist-offs. Bloggers have to join the race to the bottom or risk being left on top with retired CEOs.
