How to Use Paper to Open a Beer

Step 1:

First, fold the paper in half crosswise.

Step 2:

Turn it and fold it again in half.

Step 3:

Fold it again in half in the same direction until you can’t fold it anymore. You should have a thick slender folded paper.

Step 4:

Fold it again in half crosswise. This will create a hard edge.

Step 5:

Get your beer bottle. Hold the bottle as close to the cap with your left hand. Place the hard edge of the folded paper under the edge of the cap using your right hand. The hard edge of the paper should sit on your left index finger. Push it upwards using your index finger as a lever and it should pop off easily.

Using paper to open a beer bottle takes a little bit of practice. Try it a couple of times until you master it.  You probably can’t use the piece of paper again.
