To the delight of discerning beer drinkers and design enthusiasts worldwide, James Squire has unveiled Australia’s most valuable bottle opener worth over $30,000.

The one-off engineering effort has been handcrafted from sterling silver, burl walnut, grade 5 titanium and incredibly rare damascus steel, which was used to make ancient swords and took three years to source.

Taking over 150 hours to meticulously craft, the collectors' item is the brainchild of world-renowned founder of design firm Discommon, Neil Ferrier, to celebrate the launch of the James Squire Pioneers’ Collection - a limited edition range of small batch, barrel-aged beers, reimagining the richly hopped English IPA. Only 5000 bottles of the James Squire’s Pioneers’ Collection Release No.01 will be available for a limited time.

Bringing together a first-class team of artists who specialise in each of the materials used, the beautiful piece blends rich history with the modern world.

All profits from the sale of the bottle opener will be donated to Rural Aid, providing critical support to farmers in need. People can register their interest to participate in the silent auction to purchase the bottle opener by visiting the James Squire website.
