Another week another quiz at the Big Time Brewing Co. in Seattle. Turns out none of the quizzers this week have children – or wanted to bring their mom to quiz night, but maybe that’s just because they didn’t want ma knowing just how many pitchers they usually consume. Aside from our regulars we had [...]

It may have only been Dos de Mayo, but we celebrated Cinco de Mayo anyway this week at the Big Time Brewing CO. in Seattle. They don’t serve Mexican beer at the venue, however, so we had to settle for the pub’s own brand of brewed-on-the-premesis excellence. It was a slightly smaller crowd than usual, [...]

Ah yes, Shakespeare, the Bard, Big Willie Shakes — such was the theme of this week’s pub quiz at the Big Time Brewing Co. in Seattle, and the sight of another fun week of questioning, answering, eating and drinking. We had the usual fun, even with such a heady topic. And thankfully no young lovers [...]

This week at the Big Time Brewing CO. in Seattle, our Wednesday night quiz focused on the three R’s: Reduce, reuse, recycle. And in an attempt to do some reusing of our own, the quizzes were printed on half as much paper this week, which quizzers may not have enjoyed so much, but which certainly [...]

After last week’s absence due to illness, I was happy to be back at the Big Time Brewing Co. in Seattle for my regular Wednesday night Quizmaster duties. This week’s theme: Taxes.

In fairness, most jokes were actually pretty good, and even the [...]

Despite being Spring Break for UW, we had no shortage of players last night as teams returning and new came together to compete in a “Star Trek”-themed quiz. Though no Vulcans showed up, we did a few homemade Trek acoutrements, which earned a couple of teams some major bonus points. It was a particularly low [...]

St. Patty’s Day proved a popular theme this week at the Big Time Brewing CO., with lots of players, and plenty dressed in green. One quizzer even brought a giant Guinness hat to donate to the winning team, which they gladly accepted. We also had a first this week: I inadvertently revealed the answer to [...]

I was feeling a bit generous this week at the Big Time Brewing Co.’s Wednesday night quiz, which means I extended the bonus point opportunity to include Beatles songs on iPhones and other mp3-playing devices in addition to the LPs that we asked teams to bring in. I made sure the teams who lugged their [...]

It was a service-themed quiz last night in Seattle at the Big Time Brewing Co., and as has been the case for the past several weeks, we had a terrific turnout. We had several of our usual teams plus a few new ones, which is always great to see. Also great to see were all [...]
