An opener for facilitating opening of a beverage can and precluding an entrance of debris or insects thereinto. The inventive device includes a beverage can having a lid extending across an upper end thereof. A guarded opening assembly is pivotally mounted to the lid and operates to effect fracturing of a frangible opening in the lid. The guarded opening assembly includes a screen positionable over the opening in the lid to preclude an entrance of insects or debris into the can.
