While looking for a stainless steel wall-mounted bottle opener to gift my father, I stumbled upon some truly awesome wall-mounted bottle opener options that range from wonderous to WTF.
I mean, who doesn’t want their own tiny bear to open their beers for them with its bare (bear!) teeth? A beer bear? No one, that’s who doesn’t want that.
Aside from beer bears, there’s also beer gargoyles, bottle openers that make politcal statements, and even magnetic fridge-mounted bottle openers that I want to show y’all.
SO crack open one a cold one, and make sure to click on any of the ones you’re interested in to learn more…
Okay, so now that I’m on this wall-mounted bottle opener kick… do YOU have one? Is it awesome? What is it? Is it a bear?
We have the Bottle Bunny (we’re a bit bunny mad) and it is awesome. It is actually no longer wall mounted as we keep moving house and hardly ever get around to putting it back up. But wall mounted or hand-held it is super easy to use (and good for me with crazily hypermobile and arthritic fingers – in case that’s helpful to anyone). Everyone always love it at parties.
We have the first bear! I put it in dude’s stocking at Christmas – he’s mounted a little too high for me to use him easily, which we will fix after the kitchen gets repainted.
I love the “Beers not Bombs” one. Might have to get that. I also love the homebrew opener because we’re just getting into home brewing and I want to brag about it all the time.
I have this one that i found at Ross – magic!

They aren’t wall mounted, but I have a whole series of bottle openers shaped like skeleton keys. They make me feel fancy.
Can someone explain how to open beer without spilling it EVERYWHERE? Maybe I’m just extra useless, but we have that bottom one pictured stuck to our fridge and I. Just. Can’t 🙁
I always use a handheld opener so I can set the bottle on the counter and not slosh for this reason. Maybe slower more controlled movement?
Yeah, it’s all about the angle and the slow movement.
oooOOOOoooo!
now I have to decide between the gargoyle, Greenman, and OMG beers not bombs for a housewarming gift. this may be harder than naming my children…
Lemme know which one you ultimately choose!
I’ve had my eye on that Greenman one for a while.
I have the last one, and though it’s not as pretty as the others, that magnet is strong-hasn’t come off the fridge once!
We have that first beer bear too! Mounted on a piece of wood that says ‘the best beer is an open beer’. It’s punnier here because beer is Dutch for bear.
