I didn’t know that Dutch brewery has become Europe’s No. 1. But I knew the beer very well, indeed. During my 23 years of teaching in Taiwan, the govt. decided to order 3 diesel-powered submarines from the Dutch govt. for about $300 million, if my memory serves me right. I think in the early 1980s, anyway after Pres. Carter dis-recognized the Taiwanese govt. It was a bad time for foreign and friendly residents, but that’s another story, which includes the predicament of our Ambassador to R.O.C., the Hon. Leonard Unger.
Part of the trade deal with the Dutch included a couple shiploads of Heineken’s, I forget how many. Well, most the foreign residents of Taiwan, including missionaries I’m sure(?), took it upon ourselves to help the local govt. pay for those submarines. A ship was in Keelung Harber with about 40,000(?) cases of Heineken’s and we offered to do some about it. So for a while the American Legion, the V.F.W., the local markets, et al, were all awash with Heineken’s. The local population liked it as well, although I think they usually preferred their own Taiwanese Beer 台灣啤酒 established by the Japanese in the 1920s and based on a German formula.
I lived not far from the No. 1 Brewery in Taipei, and I had students who worked there, so toured it a couple of times. It had been destroyed during the war (WWII), and when the Nationalists and refugees came over from the mainland after the war, the first building to be repaired and put back in operation was the No. 1 Brewery. This was even before the Presidential Palace, which was in shambles for a while. At least that is what my students told me. Oh, I forget to mention that the mainland govt. was madder than hell, and recalled their ambassador from The Hague. But the beer was in Taiwan and so were we, and also the subs, eventually.

I got FJ, due to the 1925 reference. Also, about 3/4 of the TS, including the mineral and South Pole.
Shira was WAY too conservative.

Holy Scopes! Even if they’d never seen “Inherit the Wind,” they all should have known Final Jeopardy. Historic event. Expected all 3 to get it.
Shira was on a decent roll, partly thanks to the Bible category, but really surprised me when she didn’t know the 3-dot word. She even had experience in publishing. C’est la vie…
The Dutch brewery was a highlight of my visit to Amsterdam ages ago. None of them had a clue. My niece has worked for them for 10 years and has done work details to Amsterdam and Indonesia. Thought someone would know the hard mineral and poem lamenting death. Didn’t expect any of this group to know the football formation. Loved the 60s music clues but blanked on the stumper that Ringo Starr later popularized.
Despite a weak start, Adriana showed just how strong she is. Someone’s going to have to hit some big DDs and/or outsmart her on a Final clue.

Ringo’s version of that song actually came out in the ’70s. The original 1960 hit was by Johnny Burnette, who also had a hit with “Dreamin'” that year.
Johnny’s son Rocky had a 1980 hit with “Tired of Toein’ the Line”

Congrats to Adriana on another runaway.
For the record, there are 4-letter cities named Sana, but the one in Yemen is 5-letters: Sana’a (the capital).
