Give a Bottle Breacher

“This is definitely the only time that beer and bullets go well together!”
 
My husband muttered these words tongue in cheek last night as he proudly used his brand new Bottle Breacher bottle opener for the first time to crack open a cold Father’s Day brew to drink with dinner. Cheers to one heck of an incredible dad.

Have you ever heard of this incredibly clever company and product called Bottle Breacher? We first learned about it over a year ago when Bottle Breacher debuted on one of our favorite TV shows Shark Tank, and Jamie has wanted one from the second it aired! In a nutshell, a Bottle Breacher bottle opener is a hand crafted .50 caliber bottle opener that’s created by veterans. The bottle openers are created from dummy ammunition and are completely harmless. They’re created carefully and thoughtfully so that the product lasts for years.

Not only does my husband Jamie think that this bottle opener is the coolest thing ever, but I have to agree with him. I already know it’s going to be quite the conversation starter at our next barbecue! It’s so eye-catching and unique!

Two of my good girlfriends were recently brainstorming for gifts for their husbands for various career accomplishments, and they both immediately ordered their husbands a Bottle Breacher after I shared the idea with them. I heard that both guys were so surprised and absolutely loved the idea! I can think of a million occasions that a Bottle Breacher would be an appropriate gift – promotions, birthdays, Father’s Day, Christmas, Change of Command, going away, or just for brownie points of course.

Jamie had the option to choose between a finish of black, brass, or chrome, so he decided to go with brass. There were also a number of designs he could pick from, but not surprisingly he went with an engraved American flag (you can find more designs here). Finally, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to engrave “Beat Navy” along the side. It showed up at our door two days later looking exactly like what he envisioned, and he was thrilled!
Update: We’ve used this bottle opener constantly for 2.5 years now, and we still love it as much as the day we got it. It’s such a wonderful conversation piece.
