Do you know BEER???

[gcdowd]

70%. Highest consumption country? Wtf?

 

[gcdowd]

90% - where the eff is Paulau??

All I know is that they had a season of Survivor there

 

[JimRausch]

80%. Never even heard of Palau, and it was a guess between Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

 

[beersk]

Same here. Guessed Czech. Fail. But I'll take 9 out if 10...

Cheers!

Number 6 can't be right, I wonder where they go the stats for that one...Germany isn't even on that list and I've never ever heard of the other countries.

There's only about 20,000 people living in Palau. If they each even only drink a small amount, the per capita adds up quick... compared to the 80,000,000 living in Germany.

 

[Bulls Beers]

80%..Missed the state question and the country. Palau my ass..

 

[CBMbrewer]

70% At least I'm above average.

 

[Hello]

I only got 80%. I did get the allowable ingredients wrong.

 

[NickTheGreat]

7/10.
Guessed Bud was the best selling, Bud Light makes sense. (They did have Budweiser spelled wrong, though)
Missed the highest per capita and ingredients. Thought I'd read about hops not being in early beer, but admittedly was kinda a guess

 

[Fishin-Jay]

70%, I missed the (1516) after the reheitsgebot and included yeast, had no idea about the state with the most breweries, and like most others I went with the Czech Republic. Oh well. Guess it's time for another beer.

 

[beaksnbeer]

Palau my ass..

Now thats funny Maybe your avatar but not yours

 

[mrphillips]

80%

I was boned on the "Beer Law" question. I still think that water, grain, hops and YEAST was the correct answer...but I'm probably just being a bitter beer.

I also thought that the CR was the largest consumer of beer, but I can forgive that mistake. The beer law question is probably going to keep me up tonight, though.

[...]The beer law question is probably going to keep me up tonight, though.

I recommend a high-ABV nightcap. I'm testing a 22% ABV barley wine right now that will definitely make that beer law question totally moot

Cheers!

Me, too - exactly the same result.

If it wasn't for a whole lot of smarter folks on HBT that oft pointed out that it was literally a couple hundred years before Bavarian
brewers actually discovered yeast was what turned sugar into beer, I would have missed that question, too...

Cheers!

 

[DrunkleJon]

90%. Same question. Palau? Hah!

 

[kombat]

The thread title is a little misleading. It should have indicated that the "quiz" is very US-centric. How is a non-American supposed to know what the oldest brewery in the US is, or what the best-selling brand is, or which state has the most breweries?

I got all the actual BEER questions correct. But I missed all the pointless US retail statistics trivia.

22% Wholly mother of pearl. Can you light it and do flaming shots?

[billgina]

So, a bunch of us actually got 100% on the quiz!

try this link:
http://www.mapsofworld.com/world-top-ten/world-top-ten-beer-consumer-countries-map.html
Maybe 90% is good enough

 

[tikiwargod]

70%, I failed to take into consideration that the czech republic was the highest consumer in 2009 but now I have a new quiz tidbit.

 

[hio3791]

90%

 

[Clonefan94]

80%..Missed the state question and the country. Palau my ass..

Same here. I thought for sure it was the Czechs. Should have figured though, the one country I've never heard of, there is probably a reason they were on the list and it wasn't random chance.

At least you live next to them
I actually got those 2 right but it was because of stuff I have read on HBT, otherwise I would of been stumpped. The biggest beer I "guess" (was probably 95% sure) the Bud that is closest to water would be it!

 

[1fast636]

90% stupid last question on which country consumes the most I picked Ireland seemed right

 

[gometz]

90% Whoop!

I only missed the question on country who drank the most. I am guessing Palau is getting a lot of help from tourists (who are not being counted as inhabitants).

 

[drainbamage]

Palau...seriously!? Every other time I'd seen that stat, the Czechs won. I demand a recount.

I got 80%...second guessed myself on the last one and put Wisconsin.
