When I first watched this episode, I was about half asleep, and when Brian said 'It smells like my dog Sneakers' that I thought he said 'It smells like my dog's sneakers'. There was genuinely a moment I thought Kepler wore some stinky footwear on like a regular basis. Then Sneakers popped onto screen and there were a few seconds of utter confusion. Also Sneakers looks like a very good dog.
7:26 they actually capitalized all of "Science Experiments With Two Guys Who Know What They're Doing." Like its the name of a show. It's the details that make things funnier if you pay close enough attention.
So, summary of advice from the video: • Cooling them by spinning in a pitcher with Ice and salt water, • Keeping bottles and glasses out of direct sunlight, • Use your thumb and forefinger as a base for opening caps with anything, • Leave a little head on the beer to release flavour and look more appealing, • Remove excess head with oil from the surface of your nose, • Drink equal amounts of water and beer.
If you want to open it with style: Only grab the neck of the bottle like you are about to choke it, so the cap just sticks out of your fingers. Put the lever under the cap and on the first bone of your index finger (don't know the correct term, the longest one). Squeeze your hand to apply pressure to the lever and then just snap it down with force. If you do it right, it will send your cap flying several meters with a satisfying *plop* :) Works best with the narrow side of lighters. Awesome show! Keep up the good work
1. cool it good 2. no sunlight 3. know how to open with no opener 4. pour good 5. know how to uickly remove the extra foam 6. drink a beer drink a water 7. shotgunning
Well, I would add to that list: Use good beer and the correct glas. And of course if you know how to pour a beer correctly, you will never need your nose grease to collapse the foam...
Sunlight is why green bottled beer always tastes "funny." Some people actually learn to like the skunky taste that Heineken often has because they've never drunk it not skunked. They think Heineken is expensive beer and so it must be good, and they learn to associate that taste with "good" beer. I had a roommate in college who would tell you he was allergic to green bottled beer. I'm an arch skeptic who will fight with anyone who argues for stupid home remedies or holistic nonsense, and I would normally balk at someone who defined a type of beer by the packaging, but I knew from the great deal of personal research I had done on various beers that there was a characteristic that all green bottled beers shared. It may even be more than one, but one characteristic is skunkiness. Rolling Rock has it a little. Heineken has it in a more pronounced way. Fascinating subject, beer bottles. Actually, everything beer related is pretty fascinating.
Look up and try New Belgium Hemperor. Iv'e been bitched at for selling "skunked" beer but its a shit load of hemp and hops. Thats just the beer it"s self, and a joy to tell people they are wrong. Also: moms will think you are smoking weed, unavoidable.
The Moment you realize that the Host are impressed by opening beer without opener And you think about your School Parties, where Mates are laughed at if they fail doing it with a lighter. Btw. Beer is allowed at 16 or even 14 with your Parents in Germany Greetings from Germany
I love the Modern Rouge! Even when I already know the content, still entertaining. So precious watching you too shotgun a beer. I spilt a little and took a little longer than I should've on my first one, but no one bear as bad as you two... lol. Hey, we can't be good at everything, you two are much more funny and entertaining than I am, and that is why I'll continue watching. Keep them coming!
The Beerists are so chill and I'm glad to see them back at TMR! And I can't wait until I can drink (legally) so I can impress everyone with these tips.

Love these guys and love when they do these episodes with Grant and Rubio. However, I'm not a beer sommelier, but if you slightly tilt the can inverted and poke the hole in that position, it won't explode and spray all over. Will give a clean cut, no spray.
On cooling beer, for the first entire half of this year, I studied abroad in Berlin. I stayed in a dorm-style place, and we were allowed to have beer and wine, but no appliances *whatsoever,* hence no fridges to cool it. In the winter, I could just set it out on my balcony to cool, but in summer, we had to get pretty creative. No fridge, no cold air, no ice. The best way was just to let it sit in cold water in my (mostly) stopped sink for like 10-15 minutes!
Thankfully, this is german beer, so it's almost always also good warm, but cool beer is always nice. Also, we couldn't have liquor, because "alcohol can be dangerous", and they didn't want us straying down harmful paths. Beer and wine were perfectly fine, but whiskey and vodka were basically heroine.
Man! I can't believe I learned all of these 7 years ago and they become such an essential part of my alcoholic side. Modern rouge is my surrogate dad fr
Try ciders no hops which is what most people hate about beer, also if you like coffee try stouts and porters they are dark and can be very sweet but the malts really shine and you really don't taste any hop at all and its just beautiful. Or try fruity wheat beer I recommend Ciderboys (any) for a cider. Destihl Moonjumper for a solid porter or Saugatuck Neoplitan Milkstout if you want more of an icecream feel and DuClaw Funk for a wheat beer.
For a different way of doing tip number 3. Try holding the neck of the bottle and using your index finger as the fulcrum. Is had the added bonus of shooting the cap away. So now you can do target practice when you get good at the technique. Bonus info. I don´t think i have ever seen a Dane carrying a bottle opener and we never go thirsty ;) (and we don´t have twist offs!)
The Devil in the White City is an excellent read!!! You also read about the first Ferris Wheel that was at the 1893 Worlds Fair, in the White City. Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla also fought about who was going to power the city!!! And about the first documented serial killer in America, Dr. Henry Howard Holmes (also known as, Dr. H.H. Holmes). I would highly recommend this book!
I laughed at them shotgunning beer. none of them got it right. hold beer not quite horizontal with air bubble near the bottom. use a sharp instrument preferably, keys do work, but it will be more likely to cut your mouth. puncture through the air bubble, slowly with easy constant force. I like to make a cut perpendicular to the can the length of my mouth-ish. then fold up to make a nice rectangular slot in the can. this slot should be in line with the actual mouth of the beer can. hold to mouth and open. easy pz, way less mess. shit doesnt spray out. you control when you want to open it, with no rush. only mess is when you cant finish it, cheers.
I watched this video when it first came out, and got about three quarters of the way through. I came back the next day and it was gone. I'm glad it's back.
Careful with the lighter trick is and us3 it often but had the lighter slip once and the pressure of the slip caused the bottle cap to impale my knuckle. Still have a scar years later. Great hack that i still use.
As a German, this actually gave me a mini headache. Especially the opening part. Try opening a bottle with another bottle and using your heel for the force input. Thats the real stuff :D
One way I've poured that's good as a beginner is to do the "no head" soft pour Brian did, but then with the last couple ounces, just drop them in hard, so it stirs up the rest and releases just enough gas to make a pretty head. That way, you're getting it all settled, but it also churns up those nice aromatics just enough for the smelling part of enjoying it. It's especially good for warm beers, which tend to foam up _WAY_ too much. That's when tip 5 comes in super handy. I use that all the time.
My favorites, though, are Nitros (especially Left Hand's Milk Stout), because you just get to go ham on them. Just open them up, turn it completely over, and the more splashing, the better! So good! So pungent and creamy! Left Hand is _DEFINITELY_ worth trying!
Saugatuck neopolitan is WAYYYYY better, light vanilla slight strawberry, from the state with the best craft breweries so amazing. And when pouting middle of the glass and half way up straighten it up and soft pour straight on 2 fingers from the top of the glass is a "perfect" pour avoid is with light lagers because its useless anyways a must with about anything else including light ales or you just wont get the right flavors.
I used to keep a P38 can opener on my keys. Made easy work of pre-puncturing my beer gently, preserving the golden nectar inside, while everyone else ran around looking for scissors, screwdrivers, or what-have-you to stab their can with and spewing foam allover themselves for the rest of the night.
@@TheStrangerous How about Modern Rogue Investigates Distractive, and Progressive Drunk Driving ? Using a few high tech Vehicle Simulators, a number of subjects of varied driving skills, and weight/height classes. Some get beer, .. Wait.. Various time periods to "sober up" Then navigate a virtual course with suprises, then booze, wait repeat, booze/wine and beer. Repeat, the for a side investigation testing Breathalyzer, and Sobriety Test Defeating myths/uls. Drunk driving with, or without Disturbing/rowdy passengers You could also have your Mixologist select highest yield booze, and beers. There's also a wine matter that less wine can register a person as drunk that is not necessarily drunk. My uncles four wheel drive club hosted the CHP event with an 80s offroad vechile simulator.
Hilarious, yet informative; the perfect episode. In fact since 2010, when I started watching ScamSchool, Brian and all the videos he is in have been both. Thanks Brian and your team for the laughs and knowledge!
I used to open beers in high school with my class ring, it got to the point I made it a magic trick at parties. Using a ring is a great one, you can always have one
Remember that episode with chemical pranks only the Devil would use? I guess you can add "Drop salt into a beer cooler filled with ice" to that list. Because those brews will freeze in the bottle XD
I actually don't drink at all, but I love watching these videos (and your whiskey ones) because of science. Thanks for making alcohol interesting for me!
Also the platinum version of this is to combine both methods into one: Super volatile liquid and dry ice combo! We use this method to freeze histology samples at work, and if it can freeze bits of meat in seconds, it should be able to cool beers in seconds...
Pro tip on the lighter opening... First, grip the bottle in a full even fist. Then use the main knuckle of you index finger (back of your hand) as the fulcrum. This is naturally supported by the rest of you hand's mass/grip and takes no effort to stabilize, unlike the wonky fingers side of the hold. And, you can do it a hundred times and never hurt your fingers.
The head actually does more than make the beer look good. The head help maintain the temperature of the beer a little longer (it's a bad thermal conductor), it's a sign that the beer has released some of the CO2 (you want it, but nobody want's to fill up with gas instead of having another bottle) and it helps keeping the gas that is still disolved in the beer from escaping too quickly. It's also a good reminder that the look of the beer is also a part of the experience of drinking one.
Once I was on a music festival in Denmark and the security guard stopped because i was carrying two bottle of bears. He explaine that no GLASS was allowed in the festival area, and then proceeded to opening both my bottles of beer with help of each other (the beer bottles!) in less than a second, then poured them into a bit soft and big plastic cup that the guar handed me as he let me into the festival area. It was just amazing, and i decided to at least learn how to open a beer with a lighter. I still dont know how to open two beer bottles in less than a second., using only the beer bottles as tools, but opening beer bottles with kind of any tool is real easy. Just grab with 4 fingers just under the cap, and then wedge a lighter, spoon, anything in between the cap and your 4 (!) fingers. When you apply leverage and press your chosen tool, like a lighter, in between the cap and your fingers your 4 fingers will FLEX. You kind of bend them. So when you put that lighter in, the fingers want to flex back, and you only have to put some pressure to pop the cap. If you put the lighter against your tumb, it will not be flexing together with 3 other fingers, so that does not work, unless you are quite strong. If you can open bottles that way, just rip of the cap with your eye-socket!
I use my wedding band to open my beers. It's a permanent bottle opened that I always have on my finger. I literally have a callous on my finger from opening beers.
the foam trick is how defoamers work - silicone oil is a common one. IT gets into the bbbles and drains the liquid causing them to collapse. Similar to why wine get "legs"
