Trivia Night at The HandleBar

Trivia night at The HandleBar is a good time. In fact, its better than a good time, its a great time! Especailly if you like trivia and you have some good friends to play with! The trivia consists of 5 rounds. Each round has 5 different questions and you place a "bet" on how many points you want to risk based on how confident you are are in your answer. The point values go up as you progress through the night and the questions also get progressively more difficult. The two guys who run the triva actually have personality and pick topical trivia that is fun to answer. All of this, and there is great beer to drink!

For all your beer needs, I would recommend talking to Keeley at the bar. She is easily identified as a knowledgeable beer person by her grain and hops tattoos on her forearms. The HandleBar also has some good drink specials, like their version of a beer grab bag where you may get lucky by getting a good beer, or you may end up with a Stag, either way, its cheap and will get ya drunk!

Tonight I started off with a Ferguson IPA. They actually put their own home grown hops into their beer, and its that type of attention to detail that I can really appreciate! This is a very clean IPA that does not over power on the hops or the malt making it very approachable to people who may not be comfortable drinking craft beers.

After 2 of those, my homie, Mena, hooked me up with a Moose Drool in a can. This is a great dark beer from Big Sky Brewing. They say that this is a "brown ale" but it is my contention that it is too dark for a brown ale and is bordering on a porter. Regardless of nomenclature, this is a great beer for those who like malty beers. There is virtually no hop bitterness and it is a dark sweet mixture that goes down smooth and is surprisingly pleasant to drink out of a can!

I guzzled down 1 more Moose Drool in a can and Abby and Mena took down some Keystone and Stag respectively as we rolled to the final round of trivia. Going into the final round, we were in 5th place and felt like we were pretty much out of the running for the money (they give away prizes for winning trivia too if I didn't mention that earlier). The goal of this last round was to match the actor/actress to the 3 movies they list. Unfortunately I don't remember the names of the movies, but it is  insignificant as none of us had even heard of any of these movies. Using our powers of scientific reasoning, however, by matching the ages of the people listed to the years of the movies release, we deduced all the correct answers and leapfrogged 3 teams to take 2nd place and win 10$ that we will likely spend next Thursday at trivia night again!!!

I can't wait for trivia night next week!
