About Indie Brewing Company

We set out to give L.A. amazing local beer, and the tasting room it so deserves. We dreamt of a casual spot where people could hang out with other beer lovers and watch bands, talk about sports, and maybe even do a little trivia night. No velvet ropes, no guest lists. Our idea of “bottle service”? Having your growler refilled by the guys who brewed the beer.

 

And who are we? We’re 4 guys who met in the strangest of ways over our mutual love of brewing. This love began in 2009 with homebrews in pots on an electric stovetop. The operation grew with time, and eventually, we were using every free minute we had to make beer. We left our “normal” jobs in geology, advertising and law to spend as much time as possible creating pale ales, saisons, porters and more. We want to put L.A. on the map for something other than movie stars and one-word nightclubs. It’s our mission to take L.A.-based craft beers to new heights.

 

But enough about us – let’s talk about you. Whether you’re a USC or a UCLA fan, an electrician or an actor, you need delicious, local craft beers made by guys you can actually talk to. You need a welcoming spot to hang out with your friends and the rest of L.A.’s beer-loving community.

This week was full of tough questions, but Houkago Trivia Time rose to the challenge and pulled out a win in a close victory over Mind Mages.

Mind Mages took an early lead with a perfect score of 8 on the General Knowledge Round 1, got the highest score on the Musical Theatre themed Picture Round 2, and got a perfect score on the Code Themed Round 3. But Houkago Trivia Time and Fatiass were always close behind and tied with each other until Houkago Trivia Time cashed in on their knowledge of all things codes and successfully doubled their points on Round 3. For the rest of the game, Mind mages stayed in a tight race with Houkago Trivia Time, but were unable to catch up, never trailing by more than 5 points.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again next week!

Another Wednesday night, another game of King Trivia at Indie Brewing Co. This time hosting with the help of Dino!

Round one saw Paddington Kills get off to a great start by successfully doubling down on the General Knowledge Round, putting them a full eight points ahead of the closest competition!

They maintained their lead through the Celebrity Religions picture round and the Wolves and Sheep round (hosted by special guest Dino), but Fatiass and Houkago Trivia time started to sneak up in the standings. An incorrect guess by Paddington Kills on the Guess Who? round four brought them neck and neck with Fatiass, tied at 24 points.

From there it was a close race. Houkago Trivia Time stayed within 4 points of Paddington Kills and Fatiass, who maintained a tie heading into the final Gum Brand round seven where Paddington Kills managed to pull into the lead one last time with one more point than Fatiass.

It was a close and exciting night where a surprising number of people confused Elizabeth Warren's early life with that of Dolly Parton. Such is the way of pub trivia.

See y'all next week!

Another excellent night at Indie Brewing Company. Excellent tunes, a fun crowd, and a very competitive night of King Trivia.

Fatiass came out the gate strong by successfully doubling down on the first round, taking a strong 14 point lead in the General Knowledge Round, and Houkago Trivia Time managed to join them in successfully doubling down in the NFL jersey themed Picture Round to put them in 1st and 2nd place, respectively. Things continued at a sluggish pace, with measly scores from all three teams on the plane themed third round as well as the Guess Who? round, but then came the surprise.

In the Jumanji themed round 5, the Mind Mages successfully doubled down and leapfrogged Houkago Trivia Time for first place by two points, putting them only two points behind Fatiass! Now the race was on.

Round 6 was Musical Theatre themed, and this ended up being Houkago Trivia Time's kryptonite and a chance for the Mind Mages to excel. The Mind Mages went into the final round in the lead, after spending most of the game trailing.

In the Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson themed final round, Mind Mages and Houkago Trivia Time managed to name all the Marvel franchise movies the two were in together, and Fatiass was unable to double down successfully, putting the Mind Mages in the solid lead and leaving Houkago Trivia Time and Fatiass with a tie.

Ultimately, Houkago Trivia Time narrowly won the tie breaker for 2nd place, but the Mind Mages pulled off an incredible comeback for the win.

Congrats to our new winners and I hope to see y'all next week!
