I was disappointed to hear from my favorite barkeep Jon that the unique and wonderful Beerstand Berlinerweiss went down into history earlier this week. We really enjoyed that, and after the Beerfest I knew I would want to come back and have some more. But we never dragged ourselves over there and our delay was our undoing. So disappointed. I let him know that we loved it, and look forward to it coming back.
Doug's train came in at 7 and we ordered dinner (Doug got the reuben, I got the awesome quesadilla, and Dave went with the fried calamari). We split a pitcher of their Gestalt beer, which is Dave's favorite, and I must admit mine too.
World Series game 1 was on the big screen, and we all cheered for local boy done good, Chris Carpenter. When your team isn't in the big dance, sometimes it is just fun to watch the game for the game's sake.
Stump Pub Trivia started at 8:30pm, which was a little late for me. I wanted it to start at 7 so we could get home at a decent hour. I'm old, I guess. Plus, I knew Dave would hit his witching hour around 10pm and be ready to roll home and get tucked in. For those not in the know, there is an emcee, and he reads out the questions, four rounds with four questions, and bonus rounds in the middle. We named our team "The Zanesville Tigers" in honor of the big cats who were shot in that city in Ohio when their owner set them free and then committed suicide.
We did pretty well with the trivia. Dave got some laughs at the bar with the bonus question. The emcee read "a multi-millionaire, producer, musician, and actor" as the first clue, and he stood up and yelled "Hey! That's ME!"
We didn't win, but held our own. I let Doug talk me out of two questions where I had the right answer and his was wrong.
I don't know if we'll go every Wednesday, as it wrapped up after 11pm, but it sure was fun. We will be back!
