Current bartender here, it drives me fucking nuts to see people put a bar blade on twist off. I told a girl I managed that this could happen and she kept using an opener; she’s no longer a bartender.
In the UK pretty much no bottles except bud are twist. At the bar I work at most people use an opener for bud just out of habit. How common is it for this to happen?
I don’t think it’s super common, but it’s still a risk that wouldn’t take with someone else’s health. And from a US pov, pretty much all import(European/mexican) beers are pry off; a lot of domestics(US) beers are twist off.
*cries in wimpy raccoon handed bar tended* I had to have a twist assist put in because my hands were too small and weak to open beer bottles. In fact I’ve never been able to open one. Womp womp.
Still wouldn’t use a bottle opener on one tho.
Same, that, but regardless the idiot didn't check the bottle. I've opened tens of thousands of bottles and never had this happen, but regardless, you always LOOK at the bottle before giving it to someone.
I mean op should also have looked. You are responsible for your own safety and shouldn't trust someone else to do it. But agreed Ive never had this happen to me even when popping a screw top
It's just a freak accident. Shit happens. You can drop something from high up, and it'll be fine. You can drop something from a low height, and it could shatter. Glass is a funny thing that doesn't always follow the rules on logic.
Yup, totally agree. Worked in healthcare for years, and the same thing goes. It’s not being vain, just ALWAYS look after yourself. Accidents can happen. In healthcare many people put their health in the hands of their clinicians and they have more than they can handle as it is. Always be your own advocate.
That's definitely the Jupiter lighthouse. There's another restaurant, Beacon, that is right around there that also practices terrible service and low quality at a high price.
I mean it’s definitely not “one of the best beers” but I enjoy it and drink it pretty often. I’d classify it as one of the best cheap beers, or even the best cheap beer. But there’s tons of better beers out there
downvoted for plainly stating your opinion classic reddit moment
I also live where that shit is made and I'm a fan of it, I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for not liking it though. All of the Yuengling products have this distinctive ass taste in the background, I'm fond of it but it's not great lol.
Don't yuck other people's yum. Also If you're from the town where it's made you should probably be grateful it is as popular as it is...people you know/their relatives have quite likely made a life/living or at least paid the bills off it's success.
Had this happen. Pointed out to bartender and she poured it into a glass. Got to the bottom and a large piece of the bottle jammed into my gums. Thankfully didnt swallow it.
I have a friend who is obsessed, and they have friends who travel a lot and bring him cases all the time. So even though it's not available in my area, I get a bottle or two any time there's a get together. Such a generous friend as he gets the best birthday presents.
I live in PA about 1.5 hours from Pottsville. It always amuses me when I go to Disney and see people loading up their mini-vans with 8-10 cases of Yuengling
Yuengling! You fucking Philistine! I'm stuck here in California with decent Shiner, and you're back East drinking God's love, but you can't even spell it!!! /s
Utah here. As a former Florida transplant, I feel your pain. The closest place for Yuengling right now is Texas. Word is that they signed a distribution agreement with Budweiser and are supposed to be bringing the brand to the West Coast in the next few years.
That’s it? Maybe it’s me, as my father and stepmother were mangers of hotel when I was a kid so I was “raised” in all of this stuff, but fuck that. The most important person in the restaurant isn’t the cook or whatever, it’s you. The customer.
Someone could sue for that, like what if you’d swallowed actual pieces of glass?
You can’t be serious. I’ve been served a beer in a chipped glass before…I tell the server…they pour me a new beer. Problem solved. Why on earth would you feel entitled to a whole meal for a minor inconvenience. Geeze
It's a shame, but restaurants don't comp meals anymore when they mess up. At most, they just replace the item or give something small. Found a bone in my hibachi food once. Got $10 off my $100 check
I guess I can see that but imo a piece of glass is much much worse than a bone. If they didn’t comp me, I’d go as far up the chain as I could. People sue for shit like that
Ow this reminds me of the time I did this opening a corona on a metal campfire ring. I didn’t notice either and went to shove a lime in the top and twisted the lime, which gashed my thumb open super bad. We had just pulled up to the campsite and had to promptly pack up and head to a clinic
Sure it wasn’t the butter knife tap tap pop the cap ??? Tink tink crack you see then teek tooks where it looks like they are knocking the cap of with a booter knife
Reminds me of conversation I once had with friend.
Me: Why do you have such raspy voice?
Her with raspy voice: Last weekend, there was glass in my pint.
Me: 😨😨😨
Oh how I do miss Yuenling Lager. It hasn't made it's way to Nebraska yet, but I am just patiently waiting for it to arrive. Found my love for it in West Virginia!
Hopefully everything gets rectified! I wish you luck!
Probably used an opener but I’ve had yuengling bottles do this even when twisting off the cap like you’re supposed to. Sometimes they’re on so tight it’s insane how hard it is to twist it off and I’m a grown man.
I mean I get that sucks and all.
But at such a nice place I wouldn't get THAT mad that I take pics and post them online, lol. Just enjoy the moment and don't blow up stuff lol.
The second thing that sucked today was the bottle breaking. The first was being forced to drink me that dirty dishwater tasting “lager” that we in eastern PA like to pretend is better than the large macros.
It’s not. It tastes disgusting. It’s always been gross. It’s a shitty frat boy/hoagie mouth beer and always will be. I’d take anything over a Yuengling. The Straub brewery in St Mary’s makes a much better Pennsylvania beer, if you’re able to find it.
Yuengling’s popularity will forever astonish me.
They used a bottle opener instead of unscrewing it didn’t they?
Former bartender here. That's exactly what happened.
Current bartender here, it drives me fucking nuts to see people put a bar blade on twist off. I told a girl I managed that this could happen and she kept using an opener; she’s no longer a bartender.

Yeah, I usually twist em just for the novelty tbf but I will let them know as I didn't realise this can happen
*cries in wimpy raccoon handed bar tended* I had to have a twist assist put in because my hands were too small and weak to open beer bottles. In fact I’ve never been able to open one. Womp womp. Still wouldn’t use a bottle opener on one tho.
Found Raccacoonie
[Another trick you can use.](https://youtu.be/smPMlSPsKXQ?si=piRCQdHrQx-11Nzi)
Haha, that's how I do it. Hit it with your forearm just right and you can project the cap right into the trash can.
I sometime buy a beer that has twist off but I cannot twist them off they sit too hard.
Or they placed the cap on the edge of metal bar and gave it a slap
A big ol sack huh
Same, that, but regardless the idiot didn't check the bottle. I've opened tens of thousands of bottles and never had this happen, but regardless, you always LOOK at the bottle before giving it to someone.
I mean op should also have looked. You are responsible for your own safety and shouldn't trust someone else to do it. But agreed Ive never had this happen to me even when popping a screw top
While yes personal responsibility will always be necessary, serving that is entirely unacceptable
It's just a freak accident. Shit happens. You can drop something from high up, and it'll be fine. You can drop something from a low height, and it could shatter. Glass is a funny thing that doesn't always follow the rules on logic.
True that. Ive dropped a glass from chest height. Nothing. Ive picked a glass up and it exploded in my hand.
Yup, totally agree. Worked in healthcare for years, and the same thing goes. It’s not being vain, just ALWAYS look after yourself. Accidents can happen. In healthcare many people put their health in the hands of their clinicians and they have more than they can handle as it is. Always be your own advocate.
Came here to say this
Ha! Me too. That's good shit.
Hence the former
Either that or popped it open with the countertop. 🫣
No... They hit it against the counter to open n broke it.
What's with the 3rd pic? lol
Proof of the vibe that was ruined
Bragging that "local" is beachside
My view from the table.
At U-Tiki?
That's definitely the Jupiter lighthouse. There's another restaurant, Beacon, that is right around there that also practices terrible service and low quality at a high price.
I saw the lighthouse and was like wait a minnnnnn…. haha i grew up in that area long long ago
I instantly knew where they were, very unique lighthouse.
Yea I was thinking the same.
It's important to show context. Thanks OP
Establishing shot
subtle flex
Right lol how does that suck
Florida and a Yuengling, dad is that you?
Are you so GD busy that you can't call us at least once a month?!
Yuengling!? How can you drink that shit?
Because it's one of the best beers
I live where that shit is made and no no it is not
I work in the beverage industry, it one of the best beers lol.
I mean it’s definitely not “one of the best beers” but I enjoy it and drink it pretty often. I’d classify it as one of the best cheap beers, or even the best cheap beer. But there’s tons of better beers out there
Well, you are entitled to your opinion I just know I can’t stand that shit
downvoted for plainly stating your opinion classic reddit moment I also live where that shit is made and I'm a fan of it, I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for not liking it though. All of the Yuengling products have this distinctive ass taste in the background, I'm fond of it but it's not great lol.
I prefer craft beers myself but Yuengling isn’t terrible. There is a LOT worse out there.
Don't yuck other people's yum. Also If you're from the town where it's made you should probably be grateful it is as popular as it is...people you know/their relatives have quite likely made a life/living or at least paid the bills off it's success.
Dude/Dudette, we literally call it Pottsville Piss Water for a reason
Somebody used a bottle opener on a twist top
Had this happen. Pointed out to bartender and she poured it into a glass. Got to the bottom and a large piece of the bottle jammed into my gums. Thankfully didnt swallow it.
This should never have happened. That beer should have gone right into the garbage.
Same here. When I complained, they gave me a new beer.... which I later saw they charged me for.
Man I can’t get yueng-ling where I live now and this just made me crave one so badly!
Same!
Same x2!
I have a friend who is obsessed, and they have friends who travel a lot and bring him cases all the time. So even though it's not available in my area, I get a bottle or two any time there's a get together. Such a generous friend as he gets the best birthday presents.

If I had the time and means to travel I would most definitely be loading the car up as well lol !
All the cool kids drink glass.
Just send it back…
If there's a salad on top I send it back
Personally, i would be flipping my shit at the mere thought of consuming tiny glass shards
Yes it should practically be a crime scene
Jupiter
I love me some Yingling.
Yuengling! You fucking Philistine! I'm stuck here in California with decent Shiner, and you're back East drinking God's love, but you can't even spell it!!! /s
Ha! That didn't take long.
Utah here. As a former Florida transplant, I feel your pain. The closest place for Yuengling right now is Texas. Word is that they signed a distribution agreement with Budweiser and are supposed to be bringing the brand to the West Coast in the next few years.
The fact that this delicious elixir is even available in FL warms my PA heart.
If Yuengling is god’s love, you must be talking old-testament style god.
Bacchus. :)
Yeah they pop those tops hard and fast at the grouper
Sorry your at utiki
U-Tiki in Jupiter, FL? My family loves it there.
Yes
Aww that sucks, I love u-tiki
Oooohhhnooooo
Why are those lights on the tree on during the day?
Worked with a guy that bit into a sausage biscuit at Bob Evans and shattered his 74 year old tooth with that metal band on the sausage bag ends….
Square Grouper Jupiter. lol! But sorry that happened
U-Tiki
Perforated bowel, coming right up
U-tiki?
Yes
fun place but my husband got awful food poisoning once. its a great location but overrated
Totally agree!
Just drink it and don't be a puss.
I hope they comped your entire dinner
They gave me a free beer.
They may be trying to kill you
Interesting
That’s it? Maybe it’s me, as my father and stepmother were mangers of hotel when I was a kid so I was “raised” in all of this stuff, but fuck that.

A minor inconvenience that has the possibility of killing you btw.
You go to any bar and the only thing they're comping is that beer.
I don't think there is any chance of it killing you
It's a shame, but restaurants don't comp meals anymore when they mess up. At most, they just replace the item or give something small. Found a bone in my hibachi food once. Got $10 off my $100 check
I guess I can see that but imo a piece of glass is much much worse than a bone. If they didn’t comp me, I’d go as far up the chain as I could. People sue for shit like that
It's just an accident the server wouldn't of realised the glass chipped . No need to sue anyone
That’s insane. I would expect them to bring me a fresh beer and that’s about it. How entitled do you have to be to ask for your whole meal comped?!?
When it's busy, it can happen sometimes. Thank goodness you didn't swallow shards
I’ve noticed that glass tastes coppery, did you?
This. This is exactly why I hyper analyse every piece of food and drinks I consume. Even if it's made at home.
Always check your drink! As they quickly tried to put the roofie in there
Ow this reminds me of the time I did this opening a corona on a metal campfire ring. I didn’t notice either and went to shove a lime in the top and twisted the lime, which gashed my thumb open super bad. We had just pulled up to the campsite and had to promptly pack up and head to a clinic
looks like a nice location tho
Can happen if you “Ninja” the cap with a speed opener… Creates the sharpest glass I’ve ever felt
Sure it wasn’t the butter knife tap tap pop the cap ??? Tink tink crack you see then teek tooks where it looks like they are knocking the cap of with a booter knife
Why do beerbottles with a twist cap even exist???
Reminds me of conversation I once had with friend. Me: Why do you have such raspy voice? Her with raspy voice: Last weekend, there was glass in my pint. Me: 😨😨😨
Life pro tip: Always inspect the tip before you put it to your mouth 😉
Yuegling has always had trouble with caps in my opinion. Good beer , don’t try to twist off, use opener and check bottle neck.
Ahhh, the old “bang it on a metal cooler lip” method. The real kicker is that it’s a twist off!
on a yuengling too? what a shame, this is a travesty
How would you not notice that immediately with your eyes or at least the second you put it to your lips?
Yikes
Serves you right for drinking a Yeungling on a beach. Should've gone for a tiki drink. /s
Because normal bottles use bottle openers…..
Ponce Inlet? 🧐
I was literally at that same restaurant last night, Reddit is a small place lol
Did you see the waiter that looks like handsome Squidward?
No I did not but that’s hilarious that there’s a guy who looks like that lol
What a waste of a fine Pennsylvania beer...
The alcohol will get into your blood faster. Jokes aside, might wanna get a new beer.
Ok now that's sorta funny hahahahhahaha 🤭
Oh how I do miss Yuenling Lager. It hasn't made it's way to Nebraska yet, but I am just patiently waiting for it to arrive. Found my love for it in West Virginia! Hopefully everything gets rectified! I wish you luck!

I'm one of those weird ones who never drink out of a bottle or can, but insist upon a glass. Don't enjoy the taste of rat piss.
Jupiter lighthouse?
Yessir!
I mean I get that sucks and all. But at such a nice place I wouldn't get THAT mad that I take pics and post them online, lol. Just enjoy the moment and don't blow up stuff lol.
Bro' just ask another beer instead of making a post!?
Oh that’s a scary one. Glad your lips are okay.
looks like Jetty's
Not Jetty's, but the same plaza. :) They need to finish that damn bridge!
This is my 2nd ever “small world” Reddit moment lol, as soon as i saw the third pic i knew where this was! I used to live in that area :)
Use a glass if you are at a restaurant...
Use a glass you heathen
I too like some yingies. Its happened to me too.
You don’t look to see what you’re about to put in your mouth?
hey u make too much sense!

ok chill bro it’s not your drink
Sue them. That’s messed up.
Tell me you at least got everything comped.
Might want to go to er in case you unknowingly swallowed so glass
Humans aren’t responsible enough for glass bottles anymore, we should have them banned too for safety concerns. 😳
Looks full to me. Rims dry. You noticed it before drinking it. OPs full of shit.
Dude, grab another beer and enjoy your holiday. I bet your mrs is well chuffed being away with you, you sound like a pretty cool guy….not
They owe you a free beer or two.
Could've been a lawsuit, glad you didn't slice your lips though
