Today we got our hands on Brütül Lagerhead Turtle and were excited to test it out on one of our favorite drinks with it, a Black and Tan!
Right away we noticed how useful the Turtle was because it had a bottle opener on it. We didn’t need to have a bottle opener and a bent spoon to make our black and tans, one tool does it all now.
Next we liked the ease of being able to just throw the Turtle on top of a glass and not have to worry about holding a spoon in place while pouring the beer over it. The turtle has 4 feet which grab the glass very easily and hold it in place perfectly as you pour your drink. This little tool, even though seems like a very simple and almost pointless design compared to a bent spoon, actually is pretty cool and very handy. It makes it easy, especially for beginners to pour their own Black and Tans, or whatever mixture they may want to float on top of each other. And as mentioned above, its got a bottle opener on it, so you are killing two birds with one stone and gets that drink to your mouth faster!
The only complaint that we have about the Brütül Lagerhead Turtle is that you cannot change the height that it is sitting on the glass. The Turtle will always be sitting at a fixed height on the top of the glass. With a bent spoon, you are able to reach the spoon down into the glass a little lower to hover just above the liquid already in it, allowing for a shorter fall of the second liquid that you are pouring in, which gives you a better separation in your glass. This is a minor inconvenience, because the Brütül Lagerhead Turtle still allows for great floating of different liquids. So on the scale of 0-5, we give the Brütül Lagerhead Turtle, 4 out of 5!
Every bar should be stocked with a classy looking Brütül Lagerhead Turtle. Get rid of that dirty-old, trashy looking bent spoon that you have lying around. Pick yours up Here at www.brutul.com.
