Thursday night at Keyworth Brewing Co. was everything we have come to expect from PubGuys Trivia—an amazing crowd, a packed brewery, plenty of cold beer, and some fiercely competitive trivia battles from start to finish. With 13 teams in Game 1 and another highly competitive Game 2, there was never a dull moment as teams battled through three rounds and random bonus questions for bragging rights and prizes.
The opening game started with several teams coming out strong. Did you know? We Don't Know and 2 Tired for 4 Name jumped to an early lead after Round 1 with 7 points each, while I'm Thinkin kept pace with a solid start of their own.
Round 2 brought the first major shake-up of the evening. Blue Tailed Hawks exploded with an impressive 9-point round, vaulting themselves into contention and briefly taking control of the leaderboard. Meanwhile, Did you know? We Don't Know continued their steady performance, while Beer Pressure quietly stayed within striking distance.
Heading into the final round, several teams were separated by only a few points, setting up a dramatic finish. 2 Tired for 4 Name delivered a huge Round 3 with 8 points to surge into a tie for first place. Beer Pressure matched that 8-point effort and nearly stole the victory, while Did you know? We Don't Know remained consistent throughout all three rounds to finish tied at the top.
When the dust settled, Did you know? We Don't Know and 2 Tired for 4 Name were deadlocked at 20 points, forcing a tie-breaker. One player from each team stepped forward, had 10 seconds to submit their answer, and the crowd waited anxiously for the result. The tie-breaker went the way of Did you know? We Don't Know, securing the Game 1 victory.
1st Place – 2 Tired 4 Name (Tie-breaker Winner)
2nd Place – Did you know? We Don't Know
3rd Place – Beer Pressure
After a short break, teams regrouped for another round of trivia action, and Game 2 proved to be even more competitive.
Round 1 saw 2 Tired for 4 Name, Did you know? We Don't Know, Almost Feral and Sterile, and something random all post strong scores to establish themselves near the top.
By the end of Round 2, Beer Pressure had worked their way into contention alongside Did you know? We Don't Know, while 2 Tired for 4 Name remained firmly in the hunt. The leaderboard was incredibly tight, and nobody had a comfortable lead heading into the final round.
Then came one of the strongest finishing rounds we've seen in quite some time. Beer Pressure exploded for an incredible 10-point Round 3, while 2 Tired for 4 Name answered with an even bigger 11-point performance. Beer is Life also surged with a 10-point round, creating chaos across the standings.
In the end, Beer Pressure combined their strong final round with bonus-point success to edge out the competition and claim first place with 23 points. 2 Tired for 4 Name finished just one point behind in second, while Last Call Legends put together another consistent performance to secure third place.
1st Place – Beer Pressure
2nd Place – 2 Tired 4 Name
3rd Place – Last Call Legends
What an incredible night of trivia! The brewery was absolutely packed, the energy was fantastic, and the competition was tough as always. Thank you to everyone who came out, grabbed a drink, and put their knowledge to the test. I appreciate every team that joins us each week and helps make Thursday nights at Keyworth Brewing Co. so much fun.
We'll do it all again next Thursday, and I can't wait to see who takes home the top spots next time!
