Trivia Winnings

On a chilly Thursday night, I played a little pub trivia with an all-star quartet that included the Bitter Wife and our good pals CC and VC. The event, hosted at a little Toronto pub, was a delight and it turned out to be a close thing, but our crack team of trivia buffs managed to pull out a .5 point victory. And the prize? A sextet of Great Lakes Brewery’s small scale releases. Each couple took home a trio, and the ones we got were Miami Weiss White Pale Ale, Hümber Helles Lager, and Lula’s Kentucky Common—none of which I’d ever tried before.

Stay tuned this week for my take on the three fruits of our winnings—offerings from one of Toronto’s elite craft brewers that I likely wouldn’t have tasted had we not known a couple of obscure facts.
