boags draught screw caps

Post by steve_n »

the last few months this has become my regular purchased beer but i don't reckon one screw cap has come off the way it's supposed to. i think boags might need to look at the capper they use on the draught!

does anyone else find them particularly difficult to open?

I generally don't have this problem steve, maybe you're just too limp wristed or maybe you just don't want it enough and would prefer a wild berry cruiser... I don't know, just spit balling here. :lol: :D :lol: :D :P

You need one of those bogan bottle opener rings.

Or inconspicuously use your shirt to open it.

Either way don't let anyone see you struggling with a twist top!!

Alternatively, nothing boosts your macho standing with the fellas than opening a bottle with your eye socket or teath. :D

I once tried to open a bottle of Crown Lager (Crown seal) with my teeth. Ended up with broken glass in my mouth and a chip out of my tooth. Luckily a fresh beer washed all the glass out, and I was fine, but I still have the chip in my tooth to remind of how dumb that was!

Ah yes, seen that happen before. Just the other day I picked up a sixer on the way home from a hard days slog and wanted one then and there only they were crown seals. After trying to open them with the seatbelt buckle (to no avail) I had to pull over and use the edge of sign post. Don't think I'd be desperate enough to use the teeth though.

Cruisers are harder to open than any beer I've come across.

Surley I've come across your problem. You need a bottle opener keyring. I always carry two around on my keys. To be sure, to be sure.

I used to work with some Kiwis in Melbourne in the early 70's (pre-twist tops) and they could put two longnecks cap to cap together and open one or both on request. Never seen it since.

I've seen car bumpers that's a common one.

The two beers together I presume is holding each bottle opposite the other with the teeth of the caps locked into each other?
