Crimping beer caps with involute profiles would result in (after a night of drinking) dozens of little spur gears with which you can fiddle around with on the bar table or turn into a science fair project.
Of course, you couldn't achieve a gearing ratio as the caps are all the same size, so you must
convince other industries to manufacture caps with the same diametral pitch. Then you'd simply pop the lid off the jar of nuts and get a ~7:1 ratio.
Perhaps the center of the cap/lid could have a small, weakened, indentation that could be popped out with a pen, splaying into sharp points and allowing the gears to be mounted on drinking-straw drive shafts.
Flavors of Gear Beer include Pinion Pilsner, Backlash Brown, Herringbone Stout, Reduction Red, Bevel Bock, and Planetary Pale Ale.
All that liquid energy.

Ring & Pinion Porter ? Buy the case and get a complimentary motor ("That beer looks GOOD on you"). |

A beer microbial fuel cell to power that motor.Of
course it would have to be able to unfold inside a
