We chose to release Night Shifts Krakatoa for our 50th episode for a couple of reasons.
It’s no secret we love Night Shift, so we thought this would be a great beer to commemorate our 50th Nerdsense Drinks episode.
Look out for more reviews of Night Shifts 2016 Barrel Society releases!
We’ll be adding them to their own playlist as well so you and your friends can throw a viewing party once we release all 7!
We’ll also be dipping into the cellar here and there and making our way through the 2014 & 2015 releases!

On the latest episode of Nerdsense, we have a brand new special guest: Reid Homer. We talk about anything and everything, including beer, BvS (again) and Kevin Smith. We even touch on some TV news which includes the CW DC Universe as well as Lifetime movies! (We’re not kidding) There’s not a lot of structure, but, rest assured, there are plenty of laughs.
Hope you enjoy! — You may want to stick it out till after the outro music ends…
Also, a little bit of Nerdsense news…
Starting with Episode 80 we will no longer be doing fun titles every week. We may have them here and there for special episodes or specific topics but for now, we’ll stick to episode numbers.
You’d be surprised how much of a pain it is to think of a fun title for each weeks episode.
