Trivia Night at The Pub

[Patchez]

I like the way this is headed. Waiting for the next question.

[Badfellow]

Thank you, Patchez and the lovely Miss Dingbat. More trivia coming up presently...

...And remember, TN@TP is a developing concept in progress! You have the opportunity to contribute valued input on the ground floor.
This is not just my gig. It belongs to all brothers and sisters within the Drunkardhood. I am merely the host. You can always place input here.
Or better yet, flash me a PM or DD directly!

Our ultimate goal, again, is to take this toward a real-time event where YOU can win actual, tangible, cool prizes and WE raise money for
The Memorial Fund. It's a win/win.

Onward with the trivia! Grab a drink and good luck, fellow Drunkards The next question is a 2-for-1 special worth +10 points.
The category is General Alcohol Knowledge:


*Calypso, Sorachi, and San Juan Ruby Red are all types of what?

[oettinger]

Heard these names before I`m sure but have to guess:
Alcohol flavoured candy

[Surreal]

But for the fact that hops farms are sprouting up all over my neck of the woods to support all the fine microbrews in the area, I wouldn't have had a clue.

Lucky for me I like the microbrews and am on a first name basis with most of the brewmasters.

Do I have to put this in the form of a question?

"What is hops"

I'll take "Busted toilets" for $500 please.

[Patchez]

Australian grape strains used in those awesome Shiraz thingys.

[Badfellow]

..."What is hops"...

It would be the correct answer and a double point pick-up on the 2-for-1 special! Nicely played! Incidentally, Sorachi hops (also known as Sorachi Ace, a beer of the same name being available from Brooklyn Brewing Co.) are a newer cultivar from Japan noted for contributing a strong, lemony citrus quality to beers.

You've taken a commanding lead early in the game. Most admirable trivia prowess, Surreal-san.
But, as stated before, things can change quickly. The current score stands at....


Ken "Surreal" Jennings............................. 15
All Other Challengers............................... 0

Another question will be up shortly. We'll be right back after these important messages from the voices inside your head that tell you to drink.

[Surreal]

I have cracked open a bottle of merlot and I wait for the next topic. Thirsty tells me this Merlot "chugs good". I will start chugging and wait the next Q.

[Badfellow]

The next question is a +5 pointer. The category is Chugging Merlot.
Put on your purple lips, and good luck.


*How many grapes on average does it take to make a standard 750ml bottle of wine? We shall allow a three grape margin of error on this question.

[Surreal]

Objection. Trick question. 52% of our grapes were devoured by deer last summer. So, if the question is "how many grapes before the fucking deer ate everything". I'm gonna go with "a shit ton".

But since "a shit ton" is neither metric nor whatever the other one is, I will guess 1500 grapes.

[Surreal]

Btw. I love this thread.

[Surreal]

I will take "3rd time though an intervention " for $400.

[Badfellow]

Btw. I love this thread.

The trivia gods thank you.

However, while you may love this thread and I may wonder what grape fed venison tastes like. But sadly, this round of question does not love you...

Incorrect!!!
and
Disqualified!!!
until next question...
Intervention had been intervened by most illustrious muse of devil bargain vodka and the cheap Chianti with which I cheat. The hammer is brutal only in its wielding. Far less than 1500, hypothesizing Zen surfer.

And now, let the quest for esoteric trivia fire continue!

[Username]

I'm going to say 750, thanks.

[Patchez]

250

[oettinger]

I ate alot of them in my life and am still not drunk so I say it must be 560.
