Trivia Night at The Pub

[Smatter Noguts]

Ha! The rest of the story is that the cask was drunk dry by seamen on the return voyage!

[Badfellow]

Admiral Nelson.

Is the CORRECT!!! answer for +10 points.

Yes, as as the tale goes...

Ha! The rest of the story is that the cask was drunk dry by seamen on the return voyage!

No doubt, must have been thirsty.
Hopefully they gained a bit of Nelson's courage in the bargain.
I'm also giving you +5 points for knowing that fact.

Not too long ago, Pusser's Navy Rum released a 15 year old blend aptly named "Nelson's Blood".
I would have to imagine the "blood" it contains is figurative.
The rum though is delicious.

Before I head to shore for provisions,
Let's take a look at the scores.

[Badfellow]

Are you thirsty?

Well, it's time to cozy up to the bar for another question.
Let's draw a pint or twelve
And have a good quaff while we ponder the next category: Beer Geekery
The correct answer earns a well deserved +10 points.

As always, good luck.

* Imperial Stout is basically a stout on steroids. To what nation does the "imperial" refer?



I'll await your answers with a glass of Old Rasputin in hand.

[mistah willies]

ARRRR!


Well, if there be anything involving black liquid, Oil be the taker of that, me lad.

Black coffee for the moaning,

black rum for the chaser,

and black beer for the sail.

"Imperial" will always mean mighty England. There be wise kings there, and a few crazy ones, and Queens of all manner of ilk, kind, and brightly painted shingles of various cuts.

Stout? Oil have me a bit of that now.


DRINK!


.

[Badfellow]

I regret to inform that

... mighty England...

Is INCORRECT!!!

The style was originally brewed in England, but the term "imperial" refers to another country.

[Smatter Noguts]

Russia.

[Patchez]

Smatter nailed it. Russian imperial Stout. The RISizzle.

[Lush City]

This is a trick question since it's not open book and the web is off limits. It appears over the centuries any country that had any imperial history or colonies that would brew stout beer could label their brand 'imperial'. We could go back to the early European explorers. It's a lot of different countries. Maybe there is some beer drinker convention that associates it with one country. Let's find out.

[mistah willies]

Yeah, some people: Googlers?

...wait, is it Googlieurs?

Ya know, like the term "Voyeurs"

Looking through the keyhole, and that there is Alfred Hitchcock's high glass here.



Please continue this marvelous game, and please have a DRINK!


yessah

[Badfellow]

No, Lush. It's not a trick question.
Unless you read too deeply into it.

Russia.

Is CORRECTSKI!!! for +10 points.

The luxuriant Imperial Stout was originally brewed for Catherine the Great of Russia by Thrale's Brewery of London
As a token of friendship between the two empires.

In the modern day, knocking out a good Imperial Stout is considered a true test of the brewer's skills...
Stuck mashes that look like black gravy,
Sticky kettles,
Stubborn attenuation,
These are but a few of the complications that can typically arise.



Let's review the current scores.
We've got a fine game shaping up!

Good to see you, ma'am.

You're still a Super Dingbat Trivia Judge, are you not?
However, if you wish to be a contestant...
Than by all means, you must guess![

+5 points goes to your likeness upon providing the correct answer.
Please read the question carefully...
