Minus 10 points for each additional step required to open a can of beer.

If you've ever tried to open a can without a knife or other sharp implement, you know why this is a terrible idea. Now we'll have a new raft of hipsters with stupid shit hanging off their belt/pocket on a carabiner.
Lame.
Cans = good.
Churchkey cans = bad.

Gimmicky, added expense for the novelty factor. To me, it's about what's inside the can. Wait, that sounded like a corporate beer ad...

"environmentally-minded boozers will love how you can recycle the shit out of this can"
Are there beers on the market in non-recyclable containers?

GIMMICK AND NOTHING ELSE. BORING.

Disagree. This sounds fun. Not really any different than using a bottle opener, just slightly pointier. And I say PLUS POINTS FOR POINTIER. Also, the beer is supposed to be good.

@2: Not sure if this changes your opinion, but the sixers come with a (recyclable) opener.

Anyone ever caught with a bottle of wine and no opener will already know to avoid this shit. Progress makes things better for a reason, dummies.

$10 for a sixer of pils!?! No thank you

+1 to everyone except Ned. This is a terrible idea at which I scoff with derision.

I'll try it because I like beer. And there's no such thing as a thing that will stop me from trying new beer.

Also, I couldn't think of a way to refer to this as uncanny. So you were saved that, Blogtown.

Naysayers unite! While I normally try to restrain my increasing get-off-my-lawn-you-damn-kids propensity, I'm happy to see beer-astute Portlanders are as skeptical as I.

If the beer's good, though, I may Romney on the issue.

I stand with Ned because I stand for fun and pointy things!

PS. Axes don't generally stab... but I would definitely try to open a beer can with a halberd if I had one.

Retrospection for haters: The beer WAS awesome, Adrien Grenier WAS there, and the cans were really cool too. Also, they are a million times easier to carry more than two of without spilling.

Next on tap - 78 rpm records and wax cylinders, because LPs are OVER!

Three words (or one word and two words hyphenated to make one word): hipster-ass shit
