Tuesday Night Pub Quiz

Tuesday pub quizzes are a London staple, and this one at BrewDog Ealing has the appeal of simplicity. Questions rotate through beer, topical and weird categories, which keeps things fresh without requiring specialist knowledge in any one area. Prizes, so people take it seriously enough to make it worthwhile.

It's the kind of midweek social that works because there's no pressure. Bring a team, go round by round, and if you don't know the answer, the next category's probably more your thing.
