Joining their designer artist pendants, bar code, QR code and custom photo necklaces are engraved pendants that double as a functioning bottle openers. The abstract looking patterns are maps of the birthplaces of eight well known and loved beers from around the world.<br /><br /><br /><br />Now, no matter where you are, you can open a bottle in style. Better yet, if you find yourself drunk and wandering the streets of Amsterdam, you can just glance down and find your way to more booze.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Leuven, Belgium the birthplace of Stella Artois</span>:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLxEUACLXujyPb_D7wYfd-R-PmwJQrvhj3405IB2qQj3Uxf5SZqGVYlLtF5mszygyLvZwWDbmWOqk9_Q2h7KE6xZMFk6Ayyik6xnAD0SV55EFr5uSVH3yFpcXG3psgZte1EysfUfzUzXc/s1600/Stella+Artois.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647107262581125858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLxEUACLXujyPb_D7wYfd-R-PmwJQrvhj3405IB2qQj3Uxf5SZqGVYlLtF5mszygyLvZwWDbmWOqk9_Q2h7KE6xZMFk6Ayyik6xnAD0SV55EFr5uSVH3yFpcXG3psgZte1EysfUfzUzXc/s400/Stella+Artois.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
