Nerdsense Drinks Reviews – Episode 16 – Night Shift Whirl Pool & Trillium Launch Beer

Whoa! Two Nerdsense Drinks in 2 days?! We have a fairly large back log of videos in the queue and this was a one off I did by myself on a snowy day.

It’s just me doing a head to head of 2 Pale Ales from 2 different FANTASTIC Massachusetts breweries. I do a side by side with Night Shifts Whirlpool Pale Ale and Trilliums Launch Beer Pale Ale.

Hope you like it!

Episode 57 – You’ll Believe Mike and Shaun Can Fly

Welcome to the first episode in our Road to Dawn of Justice series!

You’d have to be as tough and strong as Superman to get through the technical difficulties your humble hosts went through to get this brand spankin’ new episode to your mobile devices. Luckily, they learned everything they needed to know from the Man of Steel himself, in his 1978 major motion picture debut.

They pick apart the film and tell you what they liked and didn’t like, and they do it with humor and reverence. It’s the first step on their march toward BvS, and while they may stumble drunkenly, they’ll get you there, and you’ll be more knowledgeable because of it.

Sprinkle in a few tidbits of nerd news and last weeks episode of The Flash and you have your weekly dose of Nerdsense!

Cheers!

Nerdsense Drinks – Episode 6 – Night Shift Morph Batch 12/29/2015

This week the boys try the latest from Night Shifts Rotating IPA Series, Morph

 

Night Shift Morph

Style: IPA
Container: 12oz Can
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Spiegelau Pilsner Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.5/5
Notes: We love the Morph series at Nerdsense. Some have been great, some have been good, 1 or 2 didn’t really hit home for us but this batch hits the spot. Juicy and malty but still great. There is a strange after taste that lingers which gave it a lower rating

Episode 53 – Drinking in the New Year

In the latest episode of Nerdsense, your hosts give a shout out to some of the highlights of the past year, talking about some of their favorite movies, video games and albums.

They also discuss the latest Deadpool trailer and finally get around to talking about the latest Mission Impossible film, Rogue Nation.

It’s a pretty informal conversation, and the boys definitely get their buzz on, but it’s lively and fun, with an over abundance of f-bombs courtesy of Mike. It’s the year end episode and they do not disappoint.

Beer

Laurel Wood Workhorse IPA

Style: IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Pilsner Tulip

Night Shift The 87

Style: Double IPA
Container: 16oz Can

Notes: Great great DIPA from Night Shift. This has what we want. Juice, hops, super floral citrusy punch

Lawsons Sip of Sunshine

Glassware: Spiegelau Pilsner Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.5/5
Notes: Unfortunately this can has been sitting in the fridge for awhile. While Sip of Sunshine is one of my favorite beers, this was muted and less than fresh. Granted it’s still tastier than alot of other IPAs!

Episode 36 – Piper’s Final Pit

Nerdsense is back with another episode.

Everything is evolving, and we’re adding new wrinkles. This episode we pay respects to the late great ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper, and with that, also pay respect to our respective pasts as former pro wrestling fans. And we use that to venture into some surprising news to come out of last week’s WWE Raw.

We also spent time outlining our agenda. We aren’t one trick ponies and we have many interests, and this podcast is going to reflect that. We recently blew the cash to update our equipment, and we have improved our process and focus.

We are getting better every day, so you should see continuous improvements each and every week.

Sit back and enjoy, my friends.

 

Beers

Night Shift Santilli

Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4.5\5
Notes: Really juicy and hop forward IPA. We’ve talked about this beer plenty of times. It’s our “goto” IPA that can hang with the likes of Heady and Sip of Sunshine

 

Southern Tier Choklat Oranj

Container: Bomber
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.5\5
Notes: It tastes like one of those Chocolate Orange balls. It has a big boozy backend after the sweetness of the orange and chocolate taper off.

 

Indra Kunidra

Container: Bomber
Glassware: 2015 Night Shift Barrel Society Glasses
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 2\5
Notes: This one was definitely “interesting” It tastes like an indian curry dish. You definitely get the cumen upfront and it sweetens as it warms. Honestly though, we both love Ballast Point but we could not finish this and it had to be dumped
