About Longship Brewery

Since the 9th century, the Viking longship has been a symbol and a vessel of exploration, trade, and cultural exchange. The pride of the nordic people was their ability to cross the oceans in ways that no other people had done before. With the curiosity of the unknown, this guided them to uncover the world's riches, solidifying their place in history. 

 

 

It is this same drive of exploration that fills the sails of Longship Brewery.  We strive to seek out daring and bold ingredients and style combinations. Pushing the limits in order to create uniquely strong smooth flavors with a fearless determination to uncover new lands. Join us on our journey as we at Longship Brewery sail into the foamy unknown.

QUIZ RECAP

It was a hot day at Longship Brewery. Teams were not only sizzling due to the excessive heat warning issued for San Diego county, but they were also sizzling in the hot seat of trivia. There were many lead changes tonight, and many questions that really challenged our players. Most teams were surprised to learn that there was a movie about a psychic tire, titled: Rubber.

We wanted to do something a little special for our drink round this week. It's fantasy football draft season, and we thought it would be neat to do something related to that. But we were having a tricky time coming up with a question that was fair, because so much of fantasy football is up to chance on a game by game basis. But, we were hit by inspiration -

What if we had a draft, of drafts? We are at a brewery after all...so what if we asked each team to draft us a beer? It needed to be creative, and contain at least 3 flavorful ingredients, a name, and a food item that it would pair with. We asked house bartender, Ryan, to decide the winner. Some notable entries were:

Shake N Bake's Entry:

The "Hangover Cure Stout" - A stout brewed with hazelnut, chocolate, and peanut butter, best paired with pancakes and bacon.

The Substantial Rabbit's Entry:

"Don't Go Bacon My Heart" - A stout brewed with maple syrup, bacon, and bourbon, paired best with a breakfast burrito.

The Fighting Illini's Brew:

"Steve Martin's: The Jerk" - An IPA made with BBQ sauce, pineapple, and habenero, matched best with pig on a stick, lots of sauce, and corn bread.

But our winners were BBQ Buddha Nature:

"Suds of Sidhartha" - A brew made of hops, starfruit, and coriander matched with Thai red curry chicken with rice noodles.

They really all sounded amazing.

Third Place: Farkins
Second Place: Indifferent Penguins
Winners: Chuck's the Best
