Budweiser Bottle Opener
Not sure how old this is, but you know I can't pass up a bottle opener when I see one.
Has Budweiser on one side and Beechwood on the other.
BEECHWOOD WHAT?
"Anheuser-Busch’s famous beechwood aging is designed to increase the contact area between the yeast and the beer. They start with long chunks of beechwood, which they treat with baking soda to reduce the already mild flavor contribution of the wood. Bud stacks these pieces in the Budweiser lagering tanks, and then they kräusen the beer by adding fresh wort. The wood forms a substrate to collect yeast, increasing the yeast/beer interface, as compared to a thicker layer of yeast at the bottom of the tank."
"The word krausen (pronounced kroy-ZEN) describes the foamy head that develops on top of fermenting beer. ... It is used by brewers to gauge when the fermentation process is going strong and when it is complete."
