QUIZ RECAP
It might have been one of our busiest trivia nights ever at JJ Pfister Distillery and the hellish heat guaranteed me plenty of company indoors (where it’s wonderfully air conditioned). Rounds tonight ranged from TV shows that take place in space (one of my favorite topics ever) to Pride and Prejudice. Regulars Team Chad and The Faculty both got off to a strong start in the first two rounds with successful back-to-back double or nothings. They remained close through most of the night, with teams The Fancy-Ass Burgers and On Fire not far behind. However, round six (which asked our teams about movies with body parts in the title, think Cool HAND Luke) saw multiple teams successfully double, which launched Team Chad into the first place position going into our final round. Our last round asked our teams about the United States’ adversaries in World War II as well as boxers who managed that rare feat of besting Muhammad Ali (sorry to the teams who put down either George Foreman or George Foreman Grill, he wasn’t one of them).
In the end, team On Fire was able to pull off an upset in round seven with a successful double or nothing, launching them into that first-place spot while Team Chad clinched second place. Returning team Hanging With My Gnomies won that elusive second to last place prize. Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 to beat the heat with some cool cocktails and air-conditioned trivia!

QUIZ RECAP
I was happy to see a mix of returning and new faces tonight at JJ Pfister for a festive night of trivia. Teams were grilled on topics from Denzel Washington movies to the names for various groups of animals (not sure why they had to do the pandas dirty by calling them an embarrassment). It was a close race from the start, with team Brain Drained taking the lead early on and hanging onto it until round when, team 3 Answer Sheets to the Win pulled ahead with a successful double or nothing and regulars The Faculty launched into second place with a strong showing. In the end, it came down to a round that asked our teams about the actors that had received an Oscar nominations for their work in the three Godfather movies (why wasn't Diane Keaton nominated?).
In the end, team 3 Answer Sheets to the Wind was able to hold onto the top spot of the night while The Faculty took second place again. Team Brained Drain claimed the elusive mystery bag of the night and the goodies that it contained. Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 for drinks, trivia, and a little escapism!

QUIZ RECAP
It was another busy night at JJ Pfister Distilling Company and the hot weather guaranteed me a lot of company indoors (except for a couple of teams that braved the heat on the patio). Our teams were grilled on questions that ranged from movie sequels to the Twilight series (thank you King Trivia for making me relive that part of my youth). Up until our fifth round, we had a back and forth between a number of teams, but in round five returning team The Faculty and newcomers Rye on a Rock both pulled off a double or nothing that broke them out of the pack. However, a follow up double or nothing during our sixth round put Rye on a Rock firmly in the first place position. It all came down to our list round, which asked our teams about the most popular water brands in the world.
In the end, Rye on a Rock were able to hold onto their first place spot while The Faculty (who allowed me to pay the dog tax with a pic of their dog Winter) took second place. Team O’Donnell won the mystery bag of the night and let me uncover the mystery with them. Come around on Thursdays at 6:30 for some trivia fun and delicious cocktails!
