What is Bunging? What do you get when you order a “Bitter” in a British Pub? Do you know what a Tegestologist is?

If you have Beer Smarts you will know. My wife got me this question and answer card set over the holidays and it is pretty cool. The cards are composed of interesting questions on four sets of topics:

  • Cheers – Favorite Brews
  • Beer Basics – From barley to beer
  • Beer Culture – Beer through the ages
  • Wild Card – Bushels of beer facts

The set also comes with a small 16 page Beer Tips Guide.

The card set has been around for a while now and for under $20 it’s a great deal. There is a lot of information for the person new to beer and those devotees who think they know everything there is about beer. I’ve found that these cards are great just to have lying around while you enjoy your favorite brews and they would make for great conversation pieces the next time you have friends over for tasting events.
