Why are there not more beer bottles with twist off caps?
Most mass-market beers, like those made by Anheuser-Busch, Coors, and Miller have twist-off caps you can open with your hands, but craft brews tend to have pry-offs that require a bottle opener. Pry-off capping equipment is slightly less costly than twist-off equipment, which is a factor for some small breweries. But many craft brewers choose pry-off caps not for the savings but because they believe those caps provide a better seal against oxygen. "Oxygen is one of beer's greatest enemies; it causes beer to become stale," said Garrett Oliver, brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, which uses pry-offs. It's difficult to say, however, how much of a safeguard pry-off caps provide. Steve Harrison, vice president of Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, says that his R&D department has studied the oxygen barriers on twist-off and pry-off caps for a dozen years. In those tests, they found a slight difference, but not enough to have a significant effect on the beer. (Sierra did, however, recently switch from twist-offs to pry-offs. The reason the brewery began using a new bottle-cap lining material was that provides a much better oxygen barrier but is too stiff to work with twist-offs.) Maybe people just think pry-offs are more legitimate. The Brewers Association, a trade organization for craft brewers, estimates that 80 to 85 percent of its members use pry-off caps on their beer bottles. This reinforces the idea among craft-beer drinkers that only good beers use pry-offs. Admits Oliver, "Twist-offs have a cheaper image." Another good reason for the pry-off is the feel of the mouth of the bottle on the lips of the drinker. The little ridges on the mouth of a bottle with a twist off cap feel unpleasant compared to the smooth glass of a bottle with a pry-off cap. When Pete's Brewing Company switched to pry off caps about 6 years ago, this was the primary reason their marketing department gave for the switch.
What brands of beer require a bottle opener?
Tough to answer. Megabreweries (Miller, Bud) usually use twist off bottle caps. Smaller breweries are more likely to use the non-twist caps as they are easier to get a good seal with and less likely to have problems. Some breweries use the non-twisters for their off name brands to make them appear to be from a smaller brewery. The best judge is to simply visit the store and look at the bottles.
How do you remove the plastic thing that is on the inside of bottle caps?
To remove the plastic liner inside bottle caps, use a bottle opener to gently pry it off. Alternatively, you can twist the plastic liner while pushing down on it to pop it out of the cap.
