The Leverage Bottle Opener: Your New Favorite Bottle Opener

Everyone’s got at least one bottle opener at home, but does everyone have a bottle opener that’s as sleek and gorgeous as the new Leverage Bottle Opener? Answer: No, but you can soon.

Created by Brooklyn-based Wander Workshop, the Leverage Bottle Opener is a reinterpretation of the classic, Buy Now . The company launched (and subsequently successfully funded) their Kickstarter in February 2017.

Proudly made in the USA, the openers are cast in solid brass and sealed to protect the finish and minimize discoloration. You can choose from two different finishes—satin brass or blackened brass. With each opener, you also get drywall plugs and brass mounting screws, so you don’t have to worry about not having the right gear.

What really gets us about these bottle openers is the design. The lines are clean and there is little to no wasted space in the geometric design. They are almost art deco in styling, and it’s easy to imagine Jay Gatsby (the Leo DiCaprio version) having one or four ready to go for his parties.

If you don’t have the space for a wall-mounted bottle opener, Leverage has also created a handheld version. Either way, the openers are designed not to bend the cap, so if you are a collector looking to finish your bar top/beer pong table, this is the opener for you.

The Leverage Key Hook will retail for $35, the Leverage Handheld Bottle Opener will be $50, and the wall-mounted opener will sell for $65. Orders are estimated to be shipped in June 2017. As an added bonus, for you philanthropists out there, a portion of all proceeds are donated to charity partners that fight hunger and provide clean drinking water.

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games
Anderson Valley

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.
