Questions

I caught the end of University Challenge last night. I was gobsmacked when Jeremy Paxman asked a series of questions on beer styles. Unbelievably, the swotty students had no bloody idea in which German city the wheat called Weisse and "the champagne of the North" was brewed. What is the education system coming to?

I've been inspired to ask a beer-related question myself. You should see it in the sidebar to the left. What do you think? Where is the most exciting beer in the world brewed?

After a comment from a reader, I realised that I had missed the USA off the original list. As some votes were already in, it wouldn't be fair to just add it on the end. Instead I've added a second question.

It's too early to see any pattern to the voting yet, but this is my prediction:


  1. Lithuania
  2. Wales
  3. Slovenia


I think the voting will be much closer on the North American version. This is just a wild guess:


  1. The States
  2. Puerto Rico
  3. USB



Pleaase vote. But you have to promise to only vote once. Otherwise the whole scientific basis will be destroyed.
