It was great to be back at JJ Pfister on this lovely (if not hot, given it’s only March) evening and our teams were ready for some hardcore trivia.  In a continuing trend of recent weeks, our teams were very evenly matched so we had a real barn burner on our hands.  I was happy to welcome back a number of happy returning faces along with my former friendly Campus Brewing (RIP) rivals Cheddar Traditioñal.  Our teams were grilled on topics that ranged from athletes that rocked the number 23 to cryptocurrency (which I still have zero understanding of).  In round five, team Another Drink Please launched themselves into first place with a successful double or nothing.  While the rest of our teams gave it the college try, no one could quite catch up to Another Drink Please.

First timers Another Drink Please took our coveted top spot of the night, with Cheddar Traditioñal taking the second place prize.  Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 for delicious drinks, tasty food, and trivia!

It was a busy St Patrick’s Day evening at JJ Pfister Distillery and our teams were ready for a couple of the great St Patrick’s Day rituals – drinking and trivia (okay, I might have made up the second one).  There was a vein St Patrick’s Day and Ireland throughout our game tonight – from Irish-sounding celebrities to an all Ireland-themed round.  Team Pumpkin Thing (who I tragically never asked about the origins of their team name) got off to a strong start in round one and managed to hold onto a slim lead throughout – but teams The Merrymints, Team Chad, and Far and Away were hot on their tails all night.  Going into our final round, it was still potentially anyone’s game.  Teams were tested on their knowledge of the most popular brands of whiskey, bourbon, and scotch.  When the dust settled, The Merrymints and Team Chad were tied for first place.  After a tie-breaker round, which tested their knowledge of the population of Ireland in 1911, The Merrymints came closer.

The Merrymints and Team Chad both walked away with gift certificates for JJ Pfister!  Come and join us on Thursdays at 6:30!

It was great to be back at JJ Pfister Distilling Company on this unseasonably warm March evening.  In a repeat of last week, we had some incredibly evenly matched teams.  Questions ranged from our favorite masked characters to College Bowl games (major respect to our teams in this category since I’m useless in the area of sports).  Everything was neck and neck until round six when team Funco played a successful double or nothing, launching them into a comfortable first place and leaving the rest of our teams to duke it out for second place.

Teams Funco and Drunken Puppers walked away with gift certificates for JJ Pfister.  Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 for delicious food, tasty drinks, and the chance to claim the trivia crown of the week!
