Beers and Spirits Wines Trivia Questions

1. What liquor is used in the Canadian cocktail called the Caesar?

From Quiz
Down the Hatch

Answer: Vodka

The Caesar is widely regarded as Canada's national cocktail. A basic Caesar consists of vodka, Clamato (tomato juice flavoured with spices and clam broth), Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. The glass is rimmed with celery salt and the drink is garnished with a wedge of lime and a stalk of celery. Horseradish is an optional extra. The inspiration for the dish came from the Italian dish Spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams) and it was invented to celebrate the opening of a new Italian restaurant in Calgary, Alberta. The addition of the clam broth distinguishes it from a Bloody Mary.

2. Lets start out with the obvious, what is the definition of zymurgy?

From Quiz Zymurgy: An Alcoholic Science

Answer: The chemistry branch dealing with the fermentation processes in brewing.

The word comes from Greek words zymo- (a leaven) and -ourgia (a working). It appeared in dictionaries about 1865-1870.

3. Baileys Irish Cream, a world famous famous blend of Cream and Irish Whiskey but in what year was it first produced?

From Quiz Alcoholic Drink Brands

Answer: 1974

The brand was launched on 26th November 1974 having cost $40,000 to bring to production. The Milk from 40,000 cows is used to supply the Cream used in the production of Baileys in Ireland.

4. What is the main ingredient of the liqueur Creme de Cassis?

From Quiz What's In That Liqueur?

Answer: Blackcurrant

Creme de Cassis has been made in the Dijon district of France since 1841 and is the heart of a Kir Royale. This was named after Felix Kir who was mayor of Dijon just after the Second World War, and one of the major drivers in the movement to "twin" cities as a way of trying to avoid future wars.

5. What gives the unique flavor to Pernod?

From Quiz Adult Beverages I

Answer: Star Anise

It was created in Paris in 1805 and posesses an interesting yellow glow.

6. What is mixed with vodka to make a Moscow Mule?

From Quiz Potent Potables

Answer: Ginger Beer

It's got a kick. Some books call for lemon juice, while others call for lime juice but all Moscow mules call for vodka and ginger beer.

7. Which was the first brand of beer sold nationally in the United States?

From Quiz Booze 'N' Snacks

Answer: Budweiser

8. Where in Dublin is the original Guinness brewery?

From Quiz Down the Hatch

Answer: St James's Gate

Guinness is a dry stout that owes its burnt flavour to malted barley and roasted unmalted barley. The draft version has a characteristic thick creamy head. It can be mixed with white sparkling wine, traditionally champagne, to give the cocktail black velvet. The company's logo is a harp and one of its spin-offs is the Guinness Book of Records.

9. Fermentation converts sugar into what?

From Quiz Zymurgy: An Alcoholic Science

Answer: ethanol and carbon dioxide

Nitrous oxide is commonly known as laughing gas, what a fun place a bar would be with that gas in our drinks. Menthol is made synthetically or obtained mainly from mint oils. Carbon dioxide in the beer is what gives the beer its head (or foam). Ethanol is the alcohol we like in our drinks. The chemical formula for this process: C6H12O6 (sugar) = two CO2 (carbon dioxide) + two C2H5OH (ethanol).

10. "Proof" is a standard to judge alcoholic content in a spirit. For example, if a spirit was "100 proof", what would its alcoholic percentage be? (US usage)

From Quiz Spirits of the World

Answer: 50%

"Proof" originated as a way for people to make sure they were not being ripped off when buying home-distilled spirits. "100 proof" was generally the standard people looked for - 50% alcohol - to ensure there was no watering down of their drink. After the end of Prohibition in the U.S., spirits were purposely watered-down - to 40% - to make them less powerful. That is the general standard today. However, you can still buy full-strength spirits such as whisky today if you look. They are called "cask strength" and are usually more expensive.

11. What is the main ingredient of the liqueur Cointreau?

From Quiz What's In That Liqueur?

Answer: Orange

The Cointreau brothers started production of this liqueur in 1841, and the company now sells more than 13 million bottles a year in over 200 different countries.

12. The liqueur gets its name from a Jamaican 'Aunt Maria'. It is the one of the most popular coffee liqueurs in the world. What is this liqueur known as?

From Quiz Liqueur

Answer: Tia Maria

According to legend, a young girl was separated from her family during the colonial wars. Her maid Maria managed to save some of her possessions, one of which was a small treasure box which contained the secret recipe of the liqueur.

13. Apart from wheat and rye, from which vegetable is vodka traditionally made?

From Quiz Potent Potables

Answer: Potato

It is also made from wheat and other grains.

14. In 2000, what was the largest brewery in the world?

From Quiz Booze 'N' Snacks

Answer: Anheuser-Busch

15. What is the traditional flavouring of slivovitz?

From Quiz Down the Hatch

Answer: Plum

Slivovitz is a product of central and eastern Europe and is distilled from damson plums. It is the national drink of Serbia and plum is the national fruit. According to Serbian tradition, the best place to build a house is wherever a plum tree will grow.

16. Who first connected yeast to fermentation in 1857 and is considered the first zymologist? He also had something to do with milk.

From Quiz Zymurgy: An Alcoholic Science

Answer: Louis Pasteur

Louis Pasteur is probably most famous for the discovery of pasteurization whihc was named for him. Did you know, however, that pasteurization was used for wine and beer before milk? He discovered yeast was needed for fermentation; he defined it as respiration without air. Gail Borden Jr was the founder of Borden Diary. Adolphus Busch was one of the founders of Anheuser-Busch Company. Sir Isaac Newton was a physicist, who wrote the law of universal gravitation. The theory goes that an apple dropped on his head leading him to this law. Speaking of apples, did you know apples have a special type of wine made from them? It is called cider.

17. In which South American country would I be holidaying if I were on a regular diet of Feijoada and several bottles of the locally brewed Antarctica and Brahma beer?

From Quiz Drinking All Over The World

Answer: Brazil

Feijoada, a stew of beef and pork with beans, is considered to be the Brazilian national dish, although its origins stem from the colonial Portuguese. The brewers of Antarctica and Brahma beer were for years market rivals, until they merged in 1999 to become Ambev. Ambev is based in Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil.

18. The Belgian Ardennes are as rich in folklore as it is thick with woodland. Which Belgian beer from the Ardennes features a gnome on the label?

From Quiz Beers of Belgium

Answer: La Chouffe

La Chouffe beers come in a 1.5 litre Champagne style bottle, and are widely available. Lupulus has a wolf on the label, Ardenne Blond has a fingerprint. Achel isn't from the Ardennes, but from the Limburg area.

19. What American spirit is made from aging corn whiskey in charred casks?

From Quiz Spirits of the World

Answer: Bourbon

Bourbon is really just an American style of whiskey, which uses a unique casking method to add flavor. If the whiskey is then filtered through charcoal, it becomes Tennessee Whiskey, of which Jack Daniels is the most popular brand. In fact "Jack" is the best-selling whiskey in the world. By the way, I spell "whiskey" differently here, because only in Scotland, Canada and Japan is whisky spelled without the "e".

20. The Guinness Brewery in Dublin has been in operation since 1759 - how long is the lease on the St. James' Gate property?

From Quiz Alcoholic Drink Brands

Answer: 9000 Years

The lease, originally signed by Arthur Guinness in December 1759, was for 9000 years. It is, however, no longer the largest Guinness brewery in the world - a title now held by the Guinness brewery in Nigeria.

21. Besides water, what is the main ingredient of the liqueur Malibu?

From Quiz What's In That Liqueur?

Answer: Coconut

Made in Barbados and a hefty 48 proof, this one is not for the faint hearted!

22. This liqueur was similar to the 'Green Fairy' liqueur but it didn't have the wormwood. Picasso's painting 'The Glass and the Bottle' featured this liqueur's bottle in cubist mode. Which liqueur am I referring to?

From Quiz Liqueur

Answer: Pernod

Pernod was created by Henri Louis Pernod. Initially it contained wormwood (so it is technically absinthe then) which was later removed because of wormwood's depressant properties.

23. Potato chips were originally known as ______________ chips in recognition of their place of origin.

From Quiz Booze 'N' Snacks

Answer: Saratoga

24. What kind of wine is a Gewürztraminer?

From Quiz Down the Hatch

Answer: White

Gewürztraminer is a spicy aromatic semi-dry white wine derived from a pink-skinned grape and produced mainly in Germany and Alsace. It has a bouquet reminiscent of lychees, with which it actually shares some aromatic compounds. If you ever find yourself sampling Gewürztraminer at a wine tasting, you can impress the assembled company by saying you taste lychees ... and you'll not be wrong.

25. There is actually a magazine named ZYMURGY in the United States. Which organization publishes the magazine?

From Quiz Zymurgy: An Alcoholic Science

Answer: The American Homebrewers Association

The magazine is published bimonthly, first in 1978, by The American Homebrewers Association. Mother Earth News is an actual magazine that promotes organic gardening and lifestyle. The other two magazines don't exist. I made them up for this quiz, but both areas have a tie to brewing and zymurgy. The home brewing craze is generally acknowledged to have begun in Oregon. New England is home to small pubs serving limited edition craft beers.

26. With a main brewery headquarters based in Strasbourg, which product, a 5.5% pale beer with the epithet 1664, has a 40% market share and is the leading brand of premium lager sold in France?

From Quiz Drinking All Over The World

Answer: Kronenbourg

The Kronenbourg Brewery was founded by Master Brewer Geronimus Hatt in 1664. This is where the company's leading brand Kronenbourg 1664 takes its name. Today the outfit is owned by Carlsberg, the world's fourth largest brewery group. Stella Artois, Grolsch and Tuborg are beers of Belgian, Dutch and Danish origin respectively.

27. Tequila is a spirit made in Mexico. From what cactus-like plant is Tequila made?

From Quiz Spirits of the World

Answer: Agave

"Blue agave" is what you will see as the ingredient on a tequila bottle. It is similar to an aloe vera plant, with a pineapple-like fruit at its base. It is cooked and fermented into a sort of beer called pulque. It is said that pulque was the drink of the ancient Aztecs. The pulque is then distilled to make mezcal and tequila. Mezcal is similar to tequila, but a less-refined, more "raw" version. You might say it is to tequila what moonshine is to whiskey. Also, despite what some believe, the presence of a worm in the bottom of a tequila bottle does not indicate "authenticity". This practice was the idea of an American importer of Mezcal, not Tequila, who added a worm to the bottle as a gimmick to sell more product. So eat that gross thing if you want, but it is in no way a "tradition" in Mexico or anywhere else.
