I just wanted a beer

[Painthappy]

So this is a first. Guess I'm not having a beer then.

[Painthappy]

So what happened is: I went to crack open the beer and of course it just didn't open. I hit it with the backside of my knife (the part that breaks car windows) and it wasn't going down. So I used the knife to pry it up (I really wanted that beer!!!) and this is what I saw.

Wow, what on earth?! That's crazy!

Carter got brew blocked... Doesn't quite have the same ring too it...

Shotgun is the only solution.

Man, that stinks.

How does a can get double canned? I imagine the cans start empty with no lid, then they are filled, the lids are then fitted, and the cans are sealed. Perhaps this can got a second lid.

[Grendel]

I doubt it is double canned but instead just has two tops crimped onto the can. They got stuck together when mounting and the crimping machine could have cared less and crimped them both on.

[Rainmaker]

ha, just noticed... "Smartmouth brewing company"

[iamthelazerviking]

Some kind of sick joke!

[Seajay]

Not so smart now is it?

That's worthy of an email to the company just to see what they have to say.

[Painthappy]

Was just double topped. I did cut the can open just to check. The can is super thin. I haven't cut a can open since I was a kid, but the aluminum they use now is not the same, almost tin foil thickness and really easy to cut into. At least this can was.

[Out Of Air]

Wild! I was just going to ask if it was double topped!

[Chappy]

Russian nesting beers?

[OpusX]

Seems your beer also wanted a beer and saved the empty for you

[Axel]

If a defect can happen, eventually it will reach the customer. Neat!

[XEMON]

True, but usually it the second crimp tear up the top of the can ...

The internal pressure is used to add strength. It's some really nice engineering.

[maggot]

Haha, that's crazy. Imagine if this was your 12th of the night... mindblown... immediately go to bed.

[CrowsFeast]

When your beer tells you, "no, you've had enough," it's time for bed!

That's when ya go back to liquor. No need to take a lick of crap from your beverage.
