In our ongoing attempt to improve your life through beer, we are happy to announce the arrival of a fantastic new product, the Open Here Wall Mounted Bottle Opener.
Perhaps you have used one of these at a friends house, or at some restaurant in Mexico, where everything seems to be bottled. If so, you know the awesome power that comes with being able to open a beer one-handed.
The solid chrome design means this thing is made to last. Find a good place to screw it in, and never again will you have to worry about where you put the opener.
It even gives you and your guests succinct, optimal instructions for immediate beer consumption: Open Here!

Probably the most popular beer glasses out there are Pint Glasses. They come in two sizes; American (16 ounces) or British/Imperial (20 ounces). These can be flat-walled or curved.
For home use we prefer the Nonic glass or the Imperial Pint Glass, but for commercial use, most bars prefer thick walled mixer glasses because they are harder to break.
Recommended for: Pale Ales, Stouts, IPAs, ESBs
Pilsner glasses are generally tall and slender to accentuate the clarity and carbonation of the beer. They can be hourglass shaped or conical. Sometimes, a pilsner glass can double for a lambic or gueuze glass, like our Framboise Pilsner glass.
Recommeded for: German Lagers, Steam Beer, Wits, Pilsners (duh)
Tulip Glasses usually have stems, and are bulbous at the base, opening up and flaring out at the top. These beer glasses help focus the aromas and minimize the amount of head you have to slurp through before you get to the beer. The Duvel glass is a perfect example of this style of glass.
It’s nice to have something that’s laser (or manually) etched on the bottom. These nucleation points allow continued carbonation release throughout the course of drinking your beer.
Recommended for: Belgians, Blonde Ales, Saisons, Sours
