December 10: National Lager Day
 
Back when Bryce and I lived in Evanston, we went to pub trivia every week. Not to brag (okay, to brag), our team was great. We went to regional tournaments and missed going to Vegas by one question. Stupid zebra sharks.
 
It’s one of the things we miss most about the Chicago area, and we’ve gone to a few area trivia nights to try to re-create the magic. It will never be the same (shout out to team All That!), but it’s nice to be able to play trivia again once in a while.
 

 
We went to trivia on December 10 at Rose & Crown (apparently Mark Zuckerburg’s favorite bar? Not that I care, just letting you know for the sake of TRIVIA) and I had a lager for National Lager Day. I probably should have gotten an American lager since it’s a NATIONAL holiday, but I went German since it was on tap. And if I got a Coors light I would have been laughed out of the bar.

  1. Man I love playin’ pub (or any) trivia. I am curious about regional tournaments in pub trivia, like, who organizes that, where are such tournaments held, how do I get into this world, et cetera?

      The company that ran pub trivia at the bar we played at ran it at many bars in the Chicago area. The company set up the tournaments and it usually involved 6 weeks or so of playoffs (points from each week were kept track of) and the top 3 teams advanced to the regional tournament.

      So basically I have no idea how to break into the world of semi-competitive trivia, other than playing at pubs with trivia from this one particular company.
