'Geeks Who Drink' Gets Going At Aces & Ales

Beer drinking nerds headed to Las Vegas are in for one hell of a treat. One of the best pubs in town is now offering an event that you just can’t miss out on. That’s right, it’s the Geeks Who Drink Pub Quizzes and it’s at Aces & Ales -- at both of its locations.

Geeks Who Drink, based out of Denver, Colorado, hosts these events at more than 300 pubs across 25 states. Many ask what the difference is between Geeks Who Drink and pub trivia nights. Well, there’s quite a large difference, actually, and it’s not for the faint of heart, err, head, rather.

The pub quizzes consist of two hours of approximately 70 multimedia questions, which are rather intense. Basically meaning you won’t find questions on Kentucky Derby winners and the like. You can play in teams of up to six people and winners are rewarded with bar certificates for booze credits.

Each weekly event is led by a quizmaster, who reads each question aloud during eight rounds throughout the night. Players write down the question to each answer and turn it into the quizmaster at the end of a round. Now, so far, it might sound pretty standard, but what differs is that a lot of shit talking goes down from quizmaster to players and their respective teams. Plus, the questions aren’t for your average, everyday Joe.

With the Geeks Who Drink joining the Aces & Ales ranks, it’s sure to be an amazing time to see locals versus visitors. Check out the complete rules here.
