It was busy night at JJ Pfister Distillery and we had a room full of eager minds looking to test their trivia might while downing delicious cocktails. Our teams were grilled on topics that ranged from Grover Cleveland to an entire Matt Damon-themed round. Team A.K.A Squared got off to an early lead in our second round with a successful double or nothing and managed to hang onto that lead until the sixth round when team Here for the Sausage demonstrated their expertise in all things Matt Damon with their own successful double or nothing, leading to a tie for first place going into a nail-biter of a final round, which asked our teams about the artists behind the greatest selling albums of all time (I was shocked to see Hootie and the Blowfish on the list). In the end, it came out to a one point victory by team Here for the Sausage.
Teams Here for the Sausage and A.K.A Squared both walked away with gift vouchers for JJ Pfister! Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 to see if you have the sheer iron will it takes to claim the trivia crown for yourself!

It was a great night for trivia and a lot of our teams took advantage of the beautiful weather by enjoying JJ Pfister’s patio seating. Teams were grilled on questions that ranged from sandwich restaurant chains (which begets the whole debate as to whether burgers and hot dogs are sandwiches) and famous mountain ranges (during which I had to confess that I spent much of my life believing that the Matterhorn was called the Smatterhorn due to a very long running joke by my mother). Team Monkey Potato (who had their dog and team namesake with them) got off to an early head start after a successful double or nothing in round two. However, multiple teams were hot on their heels. Teams Going Cobra Commando, Hopes and Dreams, and Defectors were all still players and proved dominant in the latter half of the game. Going Cobra Commando launched into first place after dominating rounds five through seven.
Team Going Cobra Commando claimed the top spot of the night, with Hopes and Dreams taking second place. Team Monkey Potato won the award for cutest team mascot of the night. I hope to see everyone around next week!

A big thank you to all our teams that chose to spend their Cinco de Mayo evening with the crowd at JJ Pfister Distillery. I was happy to see both some familiar faces and new faces among our teams tonight. Our teams were grilled on a variety of topics tonight, from people named Kelly to the gadgets used by comic book superheroes. From the start, our teams proved to be evenly matched and, going into our penultimate round, our first and last place teams were separated by a mere four points. However, Team RB made a bold double or nothing in round six, launching them into a comfortable first place and leaving our remaining teams to battle it out for our second-place spot (and with only two points between our three remaining teams, it could have been anybody).
In the end, Team RB and Meatball Paul and the Cabal walked away with gift certificates for JJ Pfister. I hope to see everyone around next week for food, drinks, and trivia!
