USA! USA! USA! Sorry Ghana! Pour House Pub Trivia Monday Roundup
Pour House pub trivia extends a hearty congratulations to the USMNT for their superb showing today!
Let’s hope Jozy (we’re on a first-name basis, don’t you know?) recovers quickly to help us through the group of death!
But perhaps as important as the USA-Ghana matchup was the live trivia games we had Monday!
We’d like to extend a warm welcome to the newest member of the Pour House Family – The Roasthouse Pub!
On to the games!
Dan’s Restaurant – Boonsboro, MD
Week two of the Summer Fling season ‘kicked off’ (get it?) at Dan’s in Boonsboro, and Big Test Icicles came out of the gate strong and never looked back. Thanksfully, they had the game sealed up after round four, as they were unable to come up with the correct response on a very tough final, and took down their second win of the season. Beauty and the Beast (aka Wiseacres) took second, with It’s Just Toothpaste in third. Next week, we begin with a question on “The Shawshank Redemption”. ~ Matt
Del Ray Pizza – Alexandria, VA
No live trivia this week, but next week we start with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Greene Turtle – Hagerstown, MD
Greene Turtle was off this week, but next week we start with Diabetes.

il Forno – Frederick, MD
Roast House Pub – Frederick, MD
We had a great inaugural night here at the Roast House! Ten teams packed in for good food, good beer, and good pub trivia!
And some people were there for the World Cup, but I like to think they were cheering for me. Still, go USA!
The scores were up and down all night! The two-point bonuses certainly came in handy, especially with not one but TWO one-man teams vying for the top spot. And especially when things got loud for a GOOOOOOAALL!
Anyways, after a rowdy night of fun, it really came down to the final category.
Two Captains of Industry dominated the answers. Only one was correct, and with that correct answer came a final leaderboard shake-up.
In third place, came School’s Out! Well done guys, jumping up at the end. And incidentally, props to them for being the only team to know that the Natural Monument on New Hampshire’s State Quarter is the Man in the Mountain, though there was no 2pt bonus for it.
In second place, playing solo, was My Mom Dates Foghorn Leghorn! Love the team name, and mad props for taking the second spot alone!
But standing alone at the top of the leaderboard and snagging that $50 grand prize for our opening night, was Multiple Scorgasms! Well played guys; I can tell you’re gonna be a fun team to host for, keeping me on my toes!
Thank you all for coming out for our first night at the Roast House! I hope to see you all next week, for the first of the Winner’s Choice categories; Multiple Scorgasms would like the category of Cut a Rugby to start things off next week! Should be interesting!
Until next time,
Ian
