If you love beer, then you have most likely encountered a challenge or two along the way. Sometimes you don’t have any cold beer to drink, sometimes you don’t have a bottle opener. Here are some excellent beer hacks that will make drinking beer that much better!

Fast chill

This is one of the most popular of all beer hacks. A simple and effective way of chilling your beer fast is by wrapping a damp paper towel around the bottle. Then place it in the freezer for about 15 minutes. The wet paper towel speeds up the cooling process and your beer will be ice cold in no time!

Skip the ice – make beer cubes instead

Adding ice to beer is simply out of the question. As the ice melts, it will dilute your drink and make it that much less appealing. What you can do, however, is make beer cubes using your ice tray. Make sure that you make several batches if you are planning on entertaining. Use this beer hack to chill and keep your beer cold without watering it down.

Bottle opener on the go

If you don’t have a bottle opener, you can always use a lighter. You will need to wedge the bottom of the lighter under the bottle cap. Keep a firm grip on the bottle neck and quickly push the lighter up. Use your finger as a fulcrum to help force the bottle cap off.

Fast cool part two

Apart from the paper towel technique, there is another way of chilling multiple beer bottles fast. Fill a tub with ice, add water and then add some salt. The water ensures that the entire bottle is in contact with something cold. The salt helps lower the freezing point temperature of the water which is great for chilling and keeping your beer cold.

Mark your beer

This beer hack is handy if you are tired of losing your bottle. All you need is a collection of rubber bands in various colours. Wrap a different colour around the neck of each bottle and you can easily keep track of yours!

Simplify storage

Save some space in your fridge by effectively stacking your beers. This is one of the best beer hacks if you are planning a party and you need to stock your fridge. Attach binder clips to the racks to stop your bottom row of beers from rolling around. The upper layers will slot into place on their own and you will save lots of space.

These are just a few handy beer hacks to make your beer drinking experience that much better! They will help you save time and make each bottle that much more enjoyable! Plus, you can impress your guests with these great hacks too.
