    Default Corona Quiz 01

    Beer, Classic Rock and Railways. 16 enthralling questions of no importance whatsoever with a mix of easy and difficukt but if you know the answers they are all easy!
    I believe all of these questions can be unearthed with Google but how many can you answer off the top of your head? There is one question outside these categories.
    If anyone else fancies setting a quiz then feel free! I'm a fan of the Chase and Eggheads but have the right hump with the BBC for dropping Eggheads in favour of that boring tall bloke from Pointless.
    Apologies to younger viewers who will probably struggle with this.

    1) Name the three independent Nottingham area breweries from early CAMRA days. I believe attempts have been made to resurrect all of them. (3 points)

    2) Bearwood in Brum is notable for having a BCA and a reasonable GK pub close to each other. Which famous female songwriter, keyboard player and singer who is most fanous for being a member of a legendary rock band grew up in Bearwood?

    3) What was a Dukedog?

    4) Name the brewery that existed in early CAMRA days in the town of St Neots.

    5) From where did the name of the 10cc album "Deceptive Bends" come?

    6) What does the old Welsh nationalist slogan "Cofiwch Dryweryn" mean and refer to? (2 points)

    7) What were the three Southern brewery names that pub giant Ind Coope (aka Allied breweries) resurrected in the 1980s? This was a scam as they had all stopped brewing but can you also name their locations? (6 points)

    8) What is the major Welsh town that the Led Zeppelin house Bron Yr Aur overlooks?

    9) What was the nickname given to the LNER and BR class A4 steam locomotives? The class included record breaking loco Mallard.

    10) How many Batham's pubs currently exist?

    11) Name the two major summits that Glasgow and Edinburgh bound WCML trains traverse.(2 poinrs)

    12) The home depot of steam locomotives had a code that was attached to the front of the locomotive. What places did these codes represent? 81A, 1B, 50A, 60A, 89C? This was prior to 1963 when changes were made. (5 points)

    13) Name the two defunct independent breweries from early CAMRA days that had a Bee in their trading logo. (2 points)

    14) Which English city produced these groups, The Moody Blues, Black Sabbath and Duran Duran?

    15) In the main, Mild wasn't produced by West of England brewers. What was the nickname applied to the low abv bitters they produced instead?
