You might also be able to pry a beer bottle cap off with the tip of a spoon. Just grip the bottle’s neck with your thumb and pointer finger, stick the spoon’s lip beneath the cap, and use leverage to pry it off.
Spoon
Without a bottle opener, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the refreshing taste of a cold beer. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to open your bottles, including some that don’t even look like bottle openers at all.

Hair Tie
If you’re at a restaurant, bar, or other places where there are no bottle openers available, you can try using a hair tie as a makeshift. Simply loop the hair tie around the neck of the bottle and start twisting it until the cap pops off. This method is best for plastic bottles, but it also works on some types of glass. It’s a little more difficult than some of the other methods, but it could help you get your drink without having to worry about ruining the bottle.
