Am I to accept that there are only 2 people from the #beersaturday community brave enough to take on my quiz?! This can not be true. Maybe Hive account@handofzara has been locked away in his man-cave by Mrs. Handofzara? And possibly @Zekepickleman has finally succumbed to all the beer tasting and is now spending his Saturdays at AA meetings? And what about Hive account@seckorama, Hive account@harveyword,
Hive account@muelli, Hive account@jeffjagoe, Hive account@rynow,
Hive account@ynwa.andree, Hive account@johnspalding, Hive account@melbourneswest, Hive account@cryptictruth, Hive account@borran, Hive account@jacobtothe, Hive account@pundito, and Hive account@mdosev? Can it be that you’ve all become Trappist monks and are now serving a vow of silence…? Well, cast off your robes and break your silence! Rebel against your sobriety, and break free from the man-cave!

But be warned my #beersaturday friends…for there are two brave beer soldiers who have gained much ground in your absence. Hive account@ablaze & Hive account@anttn have taken great strides towards glory. They stand side by side on the edge of Mt. Victory ready to stake claim to the title, King of beer-kings!

But maybe, just maybe, there is a chance they will slip and allow passage for an underdog like yourself? Let’s see…

All that I ask is that you answer all ten of my beer-related questions correctly. And yes, these questions are tough but this is no ordinary quiz for any old Stella drinker to win. This is a #bersaturday quiz! A quiz for the more discerning drinker. A drinker who knows his hops and doesn’t mind spending the kids university fund sampling them!

So now is the time to put together the knowledge you’ve soaked up at the bars and taverns and step forward. Your crown awaits you…

Before I go, I’ll say a big thank you to Hive account@detlev for helping promote this quiz and for his ongoing efforts with the #beersaturday competition. I’d also like to thank everyone else who has supported and interacted with my posts. I really do appreciate it and I hope you’ll keep coming back for more.

Happy Beersaturday!
