Johnny Goodtimes kicks off a new Quizzo tonight at the Ugly American. The fun gets underway at 7:30pm at Front and Federal.

Tonight after you get your Center City Sips happy hour in, head over to the Black Sheep at 8pm where In Pursuit of Ale (the women’s beer club of Philadelphia) will be competing in Johnny Goodtimes’ quizzo. There will be a round of beer related questions, $3.50 Sly Fox Pils plus the possibility to walk away with some new glassware (clarification: you can win the glassware, not just smuggle it out in your purse).

UPDATE: We have winners, thanks for playing!

This Saturday, March 29th marks the Fourth Annual Quizzo Bowl, of which Foobooz is a proud sponsor. Why not? Quizzo is the realm of know-it-alls and who excels in know-it-allness better than foodies? Also, Sly Fox will be providing the beer, which is another good reason.

Here’s your chance to win free tickets, which normally cost $25 in advance, $30 at the door (and include all the Sly Fox you can drink), courtesy of Quizzo Bowl host Johnny Goodtimes. Answer the three questions after the jump — the first three people to email Johnny Goodtimes with the answers to the questions will win two free tickets each to the event…

If the heat has you thinking I’d rather a cool treat, we second Philebrity’s suggestion (last item), go to John’s Water Ice at 7th & Christian. And if you get a brain freeze try this MSN Health tip out:

Press your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much as you can. “Since the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, your body thinks your brain is freezing, too,” says Abo. “In compensating, it overheats, causing an ice-cream headache.” The more pressure you apply to the roof of your mouth, the faster your headache will subside.

Check out General Lafayette’s weekly beer dinner. For just $21.95 you’ll get three courses, each paired with a different beer.
