Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When is October Ale brewed?

Answer: When summer's done

This is an interesting part of the song, since you can say either "When summer's done" or "When autumn's begun."

2. "From __________'n'_________ an' ____________ fine..."

Answer: hops, yeast, barley

These are just a few of the many ingredients of October Ale.

3. "With just a pinch of ___________..."

Answer: dandelion

Funny that they would use flowers in their drinks, don't you think? It's curious that Redwallers and other creature should eat dandelions because, in the movie "Ice Age", the animals like dandelions as well.

4. "_____________ at the _____________ first ______________."

Answer: Culled, dawn's, hour

Why would they do it at that time of day, do you think? Well, they love to watch the sunrise, so maybe they would do it for that reason.

5. What type of casks do the creatures put the October Ale up in?

Answer: Oak

Well, what type of cask would you put it up in?

6. "All seasoned well with ____________ ____________..."

Answer: maple smoke

Why would you season anything with smoke? It probably gives it a hint of maple, which is quite tasty.

7. How many seasons does it "sleep"?

Answer: ten

Why would you put it away for ten seasons? Well, they do it so it could brew itself, so to speak. The longer something rests unopened, the better the taste is.

8. "October Ale, no drink so __________'n'__________."

Answer: good; cheery

When you think about it, there are actually two answers that would work. But only one is the correct answer for this question.

9. "Or after autumn ______________, to rest and take your ease."

Answer: harvesting

This is a challenging one, because many people can't remember what you do in the autumn when you have orchards and such.

10. "Just sip a __________ nice'n'slow."

Answer: tankard

This is a pretty tough quiz that requires a lot of memory skills, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.
