BEER #1 Dutch Republic Lager with a Garden Shovel

I bought a six pack of Dutch Republic Beer from Fast and Sleezy (aka Fresh and Easy) for $3.99.  BUT...I bought a case and they don't sell by the case so I had to open the case, ring up each individual six pack, then put them back in my broken box and tape it up with stickers.

Dutch Republic Lager is a light tasting beer.  It doesn't have any of the trademark skunkyness of Heineken, but is easy to drink and more importantly nice and cheap.

For a review of Dutch Brewing you can visit here.  I couldn't find out who brews the beer, but my guess is that Heineken probably has something to do with it.

Anyway, here is how to OPEN A BEER WITH A GARDEN SHOVEL.


Step 1.  Get a nice cold beer, and a garden shovel. (DUH)

This one was purchased from Fresh and Easy you can click for store locations.  I love Fresh and Easy and Trader Joe's for my cheap beer buys!

Step 2.  Place your hand under the lid and get a firm grip on the neck.  Use your index finger as the fulcrum.

Step 3.  Place the blade edge of the shovel between your index finger and snuggly under the lid.  Make sure that your hand is tight, and the blade is wedged neatly and securely under the edge of the cap.

Step 4.  This is the hardest part to master.  With a quick crisp motion, flip the handle up decisively.  The cap should fly off.

Step 5.  Drink all 6 beers, or share one with your friend if he's nice or if she's hot!

Tune in a couple days for my next beer review and random beer opener.  By the way, feel free to request implements of destruction or beers you would like reviewed.

Cheers,
