Coyote Hole Ciderworks Weekly Trivia
Program Details & Spotlights
Put your knowledge to the test and gather with friends at the Prospect Drafthouse at Coyote Hole for Thirsty Thursday Trivia! Hosted by Brandon Hamilton, players compete for fun prizes while enjoying gluten-free craft hard ciders, beer, and a full drafthouse kitchen menu. The environment is family-friendly both indoors and outdoors.
As the sun begins its gentle descent over the waters of Lake Anna on a Thursday evening, locals and savvy visitors know there is only one place to be to kickstart the weekend vibes early. Tucked away in Mineral, the Prospect Drafthouse at Coyote Hole Ciderworks transforms into a bustling arena of friendly competition, laughter, and high-energy brainpower. Thirsty Thursday Trivia has become a staple of the Lake Anna social calendar, drawing in tight-knit community members, weekend vacationers, and trivia buffs looking to test their wits after a day on the lake.
At the helm of this weekly spectacle is local favorite Brandon Hamilton, whose charismatic hosting style guarantees that even the toughest questions are delivered with a side of humor. Whether you are a solo trivia savant looking to join forces with a friendly table or arriving with a formidable crew of self-proclaimed geniuses, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The trivia categories rotate constantly, testing your knowledge on everything from pop culture and music to science, geography, and perhaps even a bit of Virginia history. The stakes are delightfully fun, with prizes on the line that keep the competitive fire burning bright throughout the night.
But trivia is only half the draw. Coyote Hole is renowned across the region for its exceptional, 100% gluten-free craft hard ciders, pressed right here in the Commonwealth using delicious Virginia apples. From crisp, classic apple blends to adventurous seasonal fruit infusions, there is a pour for every palate. If cider isn't your go-to, the drafthouse also pours an impressive selection of local craft beers. Pair your libation of choice with a piping-hot meal from the full drafthouse kitchen—which serves up elevated pub fare, mouthwatering burgers, and shareable appetizers—and you have the perfect recipe for a Thursday night done right.
