Abstract

A beverage container for holding pressurized beverages, comprising a cylindrical metal construction, wherein the container side wall includes one or more indentations or indented shapes proximate the container bottom, wherein the indentations or shapes define the shape of a second pouring aperture when ruptured.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sealed and pressurized beverage container for holding beverages, comprising:
 a cylindrical metal construction forming the body of said container;   a container neck coupled to said body of said container, said neck having a radius smaller than said body;   a container lid coupled to said neck, said lid comprising a pouring aperture assembly that opens a pouring aperture from which said beverage can be poured;   a container bottom opposite said container lid and coupled to said body;   wherein said container body has a substantially smooth exterior with the exception of a single row of indentations proximate said container bottom spaced around the circumference of said container body, said indentations each maintaining fixed indentations protruding inward when said beverage container is sealed and pressurized;   wherein said indentations are of a size sufficient to form a second pouring aperture when punctured;   said body further having longitudinal ribbing, said longitudinal ribbing extending from said neck to said bottom and interposed between said indentations.   
     
     
         2 . A sealed and pressurized beverage container for holding beverages, comprising:
 a cylindrical metal construction forming the body of said container;   a container neck coupled to said body of said container, said neck having a radius smaller than said body;   a container lid coupled to said neck, said lid comprising a pouring aperture assembly that opens a pouring aperture from which said beverage can be poured;   a container bottom opposite said container lid and coupled to said body;   wherein said container body has a substantially smooth exterior with the exception of a single row of indentations proximate said container bottom spaced around the circumference of said container body, said indentations each maintaining fixed indentations protruding inward when said beverage container is sealed and pressurized;   wherein said indentations are of a size sufficient to form a second pouring aperture when punctured;   said indentations including two or more scored lines extending radially from the center of each said indentation.
