Thursday nights at Lost Forty Brewing are an institution. The taproom fills up with trivia teams competing for bragging rights, bar tabs, and some seriously creative team names. It's the perfect way to kick off your weekend a day early.
How it works: Teams of up to 6 players compete across several rounds of questions covering everything from pop culture to history to science. No phones allowed during rounds — this is old-school trivia where actual knowledge (and lucky guesses) win the day. Rounds include general knowledge, picture rounds, and themed specialty rounds that change weekly.
The beer: Lost Forty is one of Arkansas's premier craft breweries, and their taproom is the best place to experience the full range. The Love Honey Bock is a local legend, but the seasonal releases are always worth trying. Flights are available if you can't choose just one.
The food: While Lost Forty doesn't have a full kitchen, they have a rotating food truck schedule that pairs perfectly with trivia night. Check their social media for the weekly food truck lineup. Pro tip: eat before arriving or grab food from the truck early — things get busy once trivia starts.
The atmosphere: It's competitive but friendly. Regular teams bring signs, costumes, and contagious enthusiasm. New teams are always welcome, and the host keeps things entertaining between rounds. It's the kind of event that makes you want to come back every week.
Strategy tips: Arrive by 6:30 PM to secure a good table. The earlier you arrive, the better your seating. Bring friends with diverse knowledge — the questions span everything from geography to 90s sitcoms.
