QUIZ RECAP

Trivia is always more fun when there are a ton of laughs. When you add an entire hoard of super eager and enthused trivia teams to the mix, the laughs abound. I would like to truly thank all of the teams for just having a blast this week who were politely enthusiastic when answering in the spirit of heavy competition.

We talked about my favorite sitcom this week, Frasier, and my former favorite show, Game of Thrones. We translated some English English into American English. The players even learned a bit about horticulture.

When all was said and done however, here were our top three:

1st: The Moops
2nd: The Sneds
3rd: Four Norsemen of the Apocalypse

Hope to see you all next week at Longship Brewery!

QUIZ RECAP

It was a beautiful summer day as the June gloom finally burnt off and gave us sunshine. In that basking glow, ten teams showcased their trivia smarts.

Once the beer flowed, the answer sheets were handed in, the scores were tallied, and the doggos received their pets, we had our top three teams:

1st: 4 Norsemen of the Apocolypse

2nd: Dam Mad

3rd: Shortboat Winery

Shortboat Winery also impressed in the beer round. In honor of the anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, we asked how many Confederate infantrymen participated in Pickett's Charge, according to the National Park Service. They estimate it was about 12,500 men, and quite impressively, Shortboat Winery guessed: 12,742 - only 242 off. Wow.

Also in the "Wow" category was the Moops guess, of 11,764.73 - not sure where the decimal came from, but it was also pretty close. Well done.

Speaking of Anniversaries, this coming Saturday (July 6th) is Longship Brewery's 3rd Anniversary and they are having an event. Tickets are available online, and they will be debuting new custom mugs, new beers, and having armor/combat demonstrations, so make sure to come check it out.

QUIZ RECAP

Something of a surprise with Trivia at Longship this week. Some ghosts of trivia past showed up to guide eight teams through a night of trivia. Would they share in the joy of learning about the miracle of trivia? Or would they get Scrooged by the miser trivia fates?

Norse Code and the 4 Norsemen of the Apocalypse, two rival clans came with a full armament of weapons in the form of knowledge, as they battled fiercely throughout the evening. Right at their heels were both Shortboat Winery and the Indifferent Penguins who stayed competitive for the duration.

Through waves of questions regarding TV, things created in the 90s, stars (both the celestial and celebrial kind,) Norse Code proved to be the victors.

For our beer round, we also asked our teams to imagine that they were rock bands, and they had to draw a CD cover. We attached our winner as a picture, and that was Redeem Team, for their album: Redeemer.

We hope to see you next week!
