A multi-purpose device is disclosed for opening beverage containers, such as glass bottles, plastic bottles and/or cans and for covering some open beverage containers having a neck, such as beverage bottles. The device includes a housing. The housing can represent various decorative forms of headgear. The housing includes a bottle cap remover and bottle retainer. For twist-off caps, a twist-off bottle cap remover can be provided that includes a cup-like guide member that can receive the cap of a beverage container. Ridges formed on and projecting outward from the surface of the cup-like guide member's inner circumference can be received by indentations between ridges typically found on the outer circumference of beverage container caps (e.g., bottle caps). By twisting the guide member, the twist-off cap becomes loosened for easy removal. The housing provides a user with the necessary leverage to facilitate application of twisting torque onto a twist-off bottle cap, or leverage necessary to pull a pop-off cap off of a bottle or cause a can-tab to perforate the upper surface of a can. The device can include at least one bottle cap opener (e.g. twist-off or pop-off) and a lift tab opener for standard soda can. The bottle retainer can be integrated within the decorative housing, should be formed of a flexible material that will enable the device to be retained at the neck of an opened beverage bottle, thereby enabling cover for an opened bottle.
