About Longship Brewery

Since the 9th century, the Viking longship has been a symbol and a vessel of exploration, trade, and cultural exchange. The pride of the nordic people was their ability to cross the oceans in ways that no other people had done before. With the curiosity of the unknown, this guided them to uncover the world's riches, solidifying their place in history. 

 

​

 

It is this same drive of exploration that fills the sails of Longship Brewery.  We strive to seek out daring and bold ingredients and style combinations. Pushing the limits in order to create uniquely strong smooth flavors with a fearless determination to uncover new lands. Join us on our journey as we at Longship Brewery sail into the foamy unknown.

It is BEER WEEK in San Diego, and Longship Brewery is celebrating in good fun with some new brews, a tasting competition, and much more. They were so in spirit, they even asked that we had a few beer themed rounds for our trivia game this week. And ask about beer, we did.

This was one of the tightest games I think we've ever seen while hosting at Longship. A brand new team, Crabcakes and Lacrosse managed to grab an early lead, while holding off veterans Chuck's the Best and 3 Degrees of Separation for the first three rounds.

Things started to change after round four when another new contender, NC to SD, named the lovely Mandy Moore with the 8 point clue, snatching the lead away. Several of the other teams in the middle of the pack made big gains this round to keep it anyone's game.

Then in our Find the Connection round, Pickle Rick!! exploded with 8 points to grab the lead, with three teams - Chuck's the Best, Crabcakes and Lacrosse, and NC to SD sitting only a single point behind!

It wasn't until round six that the night's eventual champions made their move, when Chuck's the Best made a successful double or nothing, and they never looked back. Pickle Rick!! gave them an excellent run for their money naming 9 of the 10 correct answers in final round (the only team to do so,) but alas, it was not enough.

First Place - Chuck's the Best
Second Place - Pickle Rick!!
Third Place - Crabcakes and Lacrosse

It was an amazing game. Also tonight, we learned that Pennsylvania (Quizmaster's home state) charges the most on average for a case of beer ($21). This was our beer round question, and it took a while for a team, Crabcakes and Lacrosse, to select the correct commonwealth. We, as native Pennsylvanians, are still amazed we can walk into a 7-11 for a Kit Kat and a six pack. There really was more to life, wasn't there?

Hope to see you all next week!
