Waystone Brewing will conclude its popular Star Wars trivia series with a special event on Friday, Jan. 31, focusing on Return of the Jedi, the third film in the original trilogy.
The finale will feature guest hosts Bryce and Wendi Guerrero and offer fans a chance to test their knowledge of the beloved franchise while competing for prizes.
The event will feature a nostalgic twist, with questions answered using old-school paper and pencil. Prizes will be awarded to the top two teams, though owner Jaylyn Morehouse is keeping the details under wraps.
“We won’t spoil the surprise, but the prizes we have next are really good! Any Star Wars fan will appreciate what we have planned for first and second place,” Morehouse said.
Waystone Brewing’s trivia nights are more than just a test of knowledge; they’re an immersive experience.
“We encourage dressing up with the theme,” Morehouse said. “It’s been fun to see teams arrive in costume and have even more fun with photos taken through the night.”
The brewery has even seen creativity from participants, like the self-proclaimed Jar Jar Binks fan club. “On their answer sheets, you can usually find portraits of Jar Jar in a variety of famous poses. We’ve kept some of that artwork on our tap wall!”
The idea for trivia nights came from a desire to create a unique and customizable experience.
“We wanted to have trivia hosted at the brewery, but the options we had seen in the past all involved subscriptions and phone app-based formats,” Morehouse explained. “We were envisioning something a little more old-school. So, we asked a close friend group if they had any interest in helping us out. Lucky for us, they were thrilled with the idea and have since gathered each month to brainstorm questions.”
The trivia series has spanned beloved franchises, beginning with The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Morehouse hinted at future themes, saying, “I’m looking forward to some strong female character leads.”
Seating for the event is first-come, first-served, so early arrival is recommended.
With the trivia series concluding, Waystone Brewing is already looking ahead to what’s next and inviting fans to share suggestions for future events.
