Have you ever plucked a six-pack of cans from the cooler and noticed grunge on the lids, where you put your lips, black mold, rodent droppings, unidentified life forms. Then used your shirt tail to swipe it away before you have a cold one. You know what I'm talking about.

Stesti uses Paktech "handles" or can carriers. These are not only 100% Green New Deal recyclable, they also cover the lid and protect it from foreign elements. However, removing the eco friendly, prophylactic covers is not... user friendly.

My beloved ClipiTool Standard was about as useful as a eunuch at an orgy in removing the stubborn covers. But, I found a video where Paktech pokes fun at itself for the difficulty consumers experience. Their solution is "out and away". https://youtu.be/6QYRX3r4Yhc

Image

My own solution is better. But I could be wrong. I often am. Turn the six-pack upside down on the counter. Hold down the cans firmly as you pry one can over at a time using the counter top for leverage. For the last can, hold the can carrier down tight against the counter. A girl wouldn't want to break a nail. Enjoy.

If you watched the Deep Ellum PakTech video "Out and Away", you may have noticed that he does not remove the last cans. That is because their method requires a can to hold onto to oppose the can being removed. My upside down method, developed after relentless field research requiring an exhausting number of six packs, makes the removal of all the cans, including the last one, effortless.

This beer had a head on it but I was slow getting outside and setting up this picture.
I liked the way the setting sun filtered through the beer.

Speaking of filtered, this is the only beer I've seen that has a... warning label that reads:

Don't wait to drink.
For maximum flavor, Stesti beer is not
filtered. Keep cold and best shared.

Where was I... Oh, the Stesti tour. As you may have gleaned, I'm a fan of hoppy IPAs.
Stesti does not disappoint with this Czech inspired hoppy ale.

Saved the best for last. Normally not a fan of lagers,
the blueberries perk up this one. It's their bestseller.

Sweet, juicy Ruby Red grapefruit from "the valley" on the border with Mexico
is a wintertime treat. Ruby Redbird has been featured on this thread before but recently
Shiner changed the label to promote it as a low-calorie alternative. Still a tasty Texas brew.
The blade had a chance to go to work for this picture.

The "I" in this Salt Lake City IPA stands for Iroquois, a big American India Pale Ale.

I love Daylight Saving Time. You get to drink beer an hour earlier than standard time for eight months.

Last month, my son and grandson took me to a big paintball tournament in Seven Points about an hour and a half north of me. The two or three hundred young men and a few females are a friendly, fun loving bunch of people. Then they go out on the 55 acre battlefield and try to shoot each other Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday. Some were not so young and had been at this more than 30 years! But I digress.

Nearby was the Cedar Creek Brewery with a bright, cheery taproom, good food and good beer.
Some people dined in the adjoining patio where they could bring their dogs.

A dozen beers were on tap. A blue-eyed, blond beer tender guided me to their most popular brew, an IPA.
She could smile a big tip out of an old man. (I'm so easy.)

The company cat patrolled for mice while I enjoyed another IPA, a tasty Starman.
Too bad I didn't have my Starmate with me for the pic.
