Ladies and Gentlemen...The BeerClip

We have to say we're money clip guys. Our bodies are lumpy enough without being concerned about a wallet-shaped protuberance sticking off our booties. Here's the problem we have with our money clips, however...you can't open a beer on them. Well, you can - just not easily.

We just got an envelope in the mail that will change that, however. It contains a BeerClip, a bottle opener money clip. Now THAT'S what we call progress. As the name implies, the BeerClip is an ingenious device that brings together all the best parts of keeping your cash organized with the added bonus of being able to open beers with it.

Of course, you probably know 1,000 ways to open a beer, but there's something pretty kickass about being able flash your knot while you open someone's beer. Just make sure you have the big bills on the outside if you're trying to impress.

We put the BeerClip through its paces tonight, opening beer after beer with it. The clip is good, solid, springy metal that puts our pawn shop money clips to shame. The opener works great as well - one thing to note is the opener works best if you only have bills in the clip, but if you keep cards in there it gets a little tougher to work. We're finding it to kick ass overall, opening beers we have no right to open just because it's fun to do.

If you use a money clip or know someone who does, we recommend you get your hands on a BeerClip. It also would make a great groomsman gift, especially since you can customize them with laser engraved logos or initials - we wish we'd known about this a few years ago.
