Trivia at Indeed Brewing in Minneapolis, MN
Ready for a night of trivia at Indeed Brewing in Minneapolis? The Lift Garage is teaming up with Indeed to bring you Car Trivia (With Training Wheels) in support of low-cost car repair for Minnesotans! Trivia is FREE, there will be prizes, and all proceeds raised from taproom sales will be donated to The Lift Garage.
Date: August 27th, 2025
Time: 7 PM
Location: Indeed Brewing (Minneapolis) | 711 NE 15th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55413
The Lift Garage staff and volunteers will be at Indeed Brewing from 4 PM to 10 PM on August 27th. If you are unable to make a gift via drinking a beer and playing trivia, then we’d like to invite you to make a gift online here. Thank you for your support!
About Car Trivia
Unlike traditional trivia, where teams write in their answers, Car Trivia (With Training Wheels) allows teams to choose from a set of answers, and the faster you answer the more points you earn! All questions are car-related and there is no cap to how many members can be on your team. Because we’re raising for a good cause, we believe the more the merrier!
About The Lift Garage
The Lift Garage is an affordable nonprofit auto repair shop based in Minneapolis, MN. Aimed to move low-income Minnesotans out of poverty and homelessness, The Lift Garage provides low-cost car repair, free pre-purchase inspections, and honest advice that supports our community on the road to more secure lives.
Support Our Mission Every Wednesday
Can’t make it to trivia on Wednesday, August 27th? That’s okay! Visit Indeed Brewing (Minneapolis) on August 6th, 13th, or the 20th and round up your tab to support our mission! These three Wednesdays, The Lift Garage will be present from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
