And who knows? There could be a few others.

To get you in practice, we’ve been asking a trivia question each day. Here’s the question we posted Friday:

This Montgomery County town become the “U.S. Capital for a Day” after the British burned Washington, D.C., during the War of 1812, forcing President James Madison and some of his Cabinet members to flee the city.

The answer: Brookeville

Now the next question:

This Frederick brewery is known for its edgy beer names and label art drawn by Hunter S. Thompson illustrator Ralph Steadman.

Check this space Tuesday for the answer — and the next question! And please make plans to join us on the 27th!
