Beer-Themed Pub Quiz for NYC Get Real Beer Week September 22 at 8 pm.
In honor of our friends at Get Real (http://getrealpresents.com/), who are holding their Beer Week September 20-27, and in honor of the cause of and solution to all life's problems, we are doing a special pub quiz on the 22nd at 8 pm, themed around beer, breweries, and the fine men and women who have enjoyed this age-old beverage. Each of the four rounds will be beer-related, but don't worry, beer newbies--some of them will only tangentially relate to beer (beer in pop culture, etc.) At the end of the quiz, we'll have a beer tasting round, but will also have four additional questions at the end of each other round where you'll be asked to sample different hop varieties and guess which they are from a multiple-choice list. Prizes will include special bottled beers from our cellars and Pacific Standard beer cozies, as well as our usual free drinks! This event is essential for anyone who calls themselves a beer expert. If you don't make it, you might as well start drinking Heineken.
