Dr. Andy Jones, former quizmaster at Bistro 33 and de Vere’s Irish Pub, has moved his popular pub quiz to Sudwerk Brewing Company, the renovated restaurant and brewery at 2001 2nd Street in Davis. The pub quiz will take place Wednesday evenings at 7 beginning on August 23.
The pub quiz will be held primarily in the Sudwerk beer garden. This modernized south-facing patio features dozens of tables, comfortable seats, multiple fire pits, sun shades, and an excellent sound system. Misters will help to keep the patio cool during warm Davis nights.
Seating for the pub quiz will be first come, first served, so participants should arrive early to claim a table. Dr. Andy will be asking questions about a variety of topics, including history, literature, current events, popular culture, geography, books and authors, sports, and science. Up to six players can compete on a team. Prizes include gift cards and swag.
A longtime writing program faculty member at UC Davis, Dr. Andy Jones served two terms as poet laureate of Davis, he hosts the Poetry Night Reading Series at the John Natsoulas Gallery, and he is the host of the radio show and podcast Dr. Andy’s Poetry and Technology Hour on KDVS. The author of four books, including the 2018 compendium Pub Quizzes: Trivia for Smart People, Dr. Andy has been a professional quizmaster since 2007. He is now finishing the second book in the Pub Quizzes series.
Everyone willing to put away a smartphone for 90 minutes is welcome to participate. Those wishing to subscribe to the pub quiz, and receive 31 questions every Thursday, can do so at https://www.patreon.com/yourquizmaster.
“I think that the Pub Quiz is probably the most fun interactive evening out that one can find in all of Davis. Great, challenging questions, an intelligent and terrific vibe, super food and drinks. An all-around winner.” John Lescroart, New York Times bestselling author
