Common name for Saxifraga × urbium. This flower was the first to sprout in the middle of the ruined buildings during World War II. Noel Coward composed the song "London Pride" where the flower is described as "a flower that's free." The alcohol by volume in England is 4.1% for draught beer and 4.7% for bottled beer. Fuller's Griffin brewery is located in the Chiswick area of London.

From Quiz Bottoms Up

Answer: Code of Hammurabi

The Code of Hammurabi is a set of laws and regulations from ancient Babylon. Believed to have been enacted between 1755-1750 BC, most of these laws (282) are etched onto a basalt or diorite stele (scientists debate its material) that is over seven feet tall, and which can be viewed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The laws deal with criminal acts and punishment, family and property regulations and, under commercial law, regulations dealing in part with beer production and distribution. Serving smaller portions than that paid for, incurred the penalty of death by drowning, for example, and the daily allocation of beer to individuals (controlled by the rulers) was strictly based on one's social standing, whereby priests and administrators of the kingdom received twice as much per day as hard working laborers.

From Quiz It's My Round

Answer: Explorer

Explorer is a blonde ale which has a pungent apricot scent, which then gives way to pine and yeast flavours. It is a dry hopped ale, using Chinook and Columbus varieties which give it a dry, citrus finish. As with the majority of UK ales, it should be served at room temperature in order to allow all of the flavours to fully present.

From Quiz A Storm Is Brewing

Answer: Cuneiform

Cuneiform is considered to be the earliest form of writing known to man. It dates back to the Sumerian civilisation (4500-1900 BC) centred around Mesopotamia. Noted for its wedge shaped letters, hundreds of thousands of cuneiform written tablets have been unearthed by archaeologists in modern times. Found among these ancient recordings are various recipes for brewing beer. This indicates that if these recipes were put into writing by the date indicated on the tablets, the actual art of making this drink would have existed some time prior to that. Historians have noted that although the ancient Sumerians were indeed the first to put beer brewing recipes into writing some 6,000 years ago, chemical analysis of ancient pottery jars reveal that the art of brewing was known in ancient Iran one thousands year prior to this.

The August Schell Brewing Company is located in New Ulm, Minnesota. It was founded by German immigrant August Schell in 1860. It is the second oldest family-owned brewery in America - only after D.

From Quiz Beer Without the Alcohol

Answer: Prohibition/the Volstead Act

The prohibition of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in 1919 left breweries with few choices to stay in business. Every national brewery (e.g. Anheuser-Busch, Miller, Pabst and Schlitz) and many local breweries converted their factories to the production of non-alcoholic beer.

From Quiz Beer Jeopardy

Answer: What is Leixlip, Ireland?

In 1752, twenty-seven year old Arthur Guinness took the one hundred pounds his godfather left him in his will, and opened a brewery in the County Kildare town of Leixlip. A man of broad vision, Guinness left Leixlip in 1759 and moved to the city. He signed what was reputed to be a nine-thousand year lease on a four acre property at St. James Gate in Dublin. By the 1800's, after considerable expansion, Arthur had perfected his brew, and the Guinness brand has since become a world icon.

Answer: 15,000

From Quiz Canuck Brew!

Answer: Dow Beer

Dow was one of the most popular beers in Quebec, with breweries in Montreal and Quebec City. In 1966 sixteen beer drinkers died mysteriously, the only common factor was: They all drank Dow beer. The deaths were eventually linked back to the salts that Dow brewery had put in its beer to preserve a foam head on the brew. The company recalled all the beer that was treated with the deadly salts, but Dow ended up closing as you couldn't give the stuff away after that! Brasserie Grain D'Orge is a actual beer in France. And Agony Beer? It probably was, but agony is a Funtriv editor, who's name just happened to fit in with this question.. :)

From Quiz Canadian Beer Eh!

Answer: Molson's Canadian

The full rant is: "Hey. I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader. And I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled. And I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice. I have a Prime Minister, not a President. I speak English and French, NOT American. And I pronounce it 'about', not 'a boot'. I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack. I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing, diversity, not assimilation, and that the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal. A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed'! Canada is the second largest landmass, the first nation of hockey, and the best part of North America! My name is Joe! And I am Canadian!" So of course to be a true Canadian you must drink Molson's Canadian. Mind you there is a lot of beaver in Canada. Gets everywhere - in offices and in houses and they have to be chased out. It's thirsty work and Molsons is a good beer to drink when you're chasing beaver.

From Quiz Beer of Australia 2

Answer: Coopers, in Adelaide

Most beer is not suitable for vegans, as it is filtered using animal-based finings such as isinglass (powdered sturgeon cartliage) or even fish scales. Interestingly, United States paper currency is not suitable for vegans either, as it is still made with a dye derived from South American insects.

From Quiz Beer of Australia 1

From Quiz Beers Through The Years

Answer: Budweiser

The name 'Budweiser' has a long and storied history. It originally referred only to beer produced in the town of Budweis, today in the Czech Republic. The brewing tradition in Budweis goes back at least 800 years. In the 1800's Budweiser was produced by several different American brewing companies and was considered a style of beer like lager or porter rather than a specific brand name. In 1876 Anheuser-Busch began producing a beer they called Budweiser to capitalize on the reputation of the name. Through lawsuits and acquisition of competitors Anheuser-Busch eventually gained control of the name in the United States and made it into their number one brand. Since 1895 there has been a brewing company in Budweis that produces a beer called Budweiser Budvar. They've been going at it with AB for years in international court over the trademark. So far there is no clear winner, nor is there likely to be anytime soon. Basically, the Czech brewery owns exclusive rights to the Budweiser name in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Norway and their home country, AB holds the trademark in the rest of the world. AB sells its products in most of these countries under the 'Bud' and 'Anheuser-Busch B' names. Interestingly, the Czech company has never used funny looking dogs, caped superheroes or talking reptiles (or amphibians for that matter) in their advertising. By the way, Anheuser-Busch's Michelob is also named after a famous brewing town in the Czech Republic.
