Barney's Beanery is my new favorite place to be on a Thursday night! With excitement, beer, food,  and good humor in the air, who could ask for more?

It was solid scores and tense competition all around tonight, but in the end, Chloe's Bachelorette Weekend! took the top prize (and that's despite not actually having a Chloe or a bachelorette party on their team). Meanwhile, the consistently strong Pasadena Peeps came in second place and The Whole Half Yards pulled off a round 7 double to beat out New Guy "Depends on our Score" Club for 3rd place.

What an exciting night at Barney's Beanery!

There was stiff competition for those top three spots, but in the end, Pasadena Peeps took that sweet first place prize ($100 gift card!). David & Lisa and Cat Shirts and Home Brews both came back from early deficits to round out the top three!

ALL THE FEELS

Trivia at Barney's Beanery Pasadena was about more than just the scores this week, it was about all my regular teams trying their best to make me shed some tears. From tribute team names, to farewell/congratulations cards, to going-away-gifts, to a standing ovation after I read the final scores (that one might have done the trick)... I was reminded all night long why I've loved hosting trivia every Thursday at the Beanery for the last three years. Whether I was your quizmaster once or twice or hundreds of times, you guys are the real reason I enjoyed getting on the mic every week to mispronounce words and attempt to keep you entertained. I will miss you more than you'll probably ever realize, but hopefully I'll be able to stop in every once in a while to try to answer a few questions myself.

The top of the scoreboard was crowded with the teams I see week in and week out, but it was The Team I'll Miss Most of All that took home 1st place and the $100 prize, Intravenus De Milo wasn't far behind to win $50 for 2nd place, and Bon Voyage Quitter also had a strong showing with 3rd place and a $25 prize. In the drinking round, Pasadena Peeps turned in the closest guess at how many total quizzes I've hosted (not surprising since they've probably been witness to nearly 80% of them) and for that won the free pitcher of beer.

I hope to run into many of you again soon, but don't forget it you need just a little dose of Andy, you can also get a quick fix at my YouTube channel: YouTube.com/wildworldofbeer

Cheers,

Andy
