As promised, The Independent and Schilling Distributing have teamed up to bring readers a weekly beer blog starting today. If you think you've got your booze facts in line, take a shot at our trivia question for a chance to win a 12-pack of Bud Light Platinum courtesy of Schilling.
With the EatLafayette campaign launching in full swing Monday, The Independent and Schilling Distributing have teamed up as promised to bring readers a weekly beer blog starting today.
Now in its eighth year, EatLafayette is a campaign to steer more diners into locally owned establishments by offering special deals at more than 60 area restaurants participating in the promotion that runs from June 18 - Aug. 15. And as the eat "leauxcal" movement continues to expand, The Ind is in turn stepping up its support for a monthslong celebration of the local dishes and restaurants that have garnered our Hub City some sweet national attention as of late.
Every Friday, The INDsider will post fun facts, trivia and more under its Brewhaha blog, in part to encourage reader participation on our website. Post your responses under the Brewhaha blog on our website, and we'll choose one commenter per week to receive a 12-pack of Bud Light Platinum courtesy of Schilling. Commenters must be registered with our website to post a response. Click here to sign up for The INDsider and a chance to win.
So put on your thinking caps for this week's bit of beer trivia, and if your winning answer is selected, you can trade the thinking cap for a beer guzzling helmet and enjoy a 12-pack of Bud Light's "top-shelf" beer that's triple-filtered and has a higher alcohol content.
Brewhaha Trivia:
- What is believed to be the world's oldest brewery? What year was it formally established and where is it located?
Brewhaha Fun Fact: The Honeymoon
- In Babylon more than 4,000 years ago, it was customary for the bride's father to supply his new son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. As mead is a honey beer and their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the "honey month" or what we know today as the "honeymoon." In fact, Babylonians believed if the groom drank mead for an entire month, it enhanced the chances of his wife bearing a male heir.
