The guys recorded this on a Thursday so this means things stay pretty on track! No drunken rambles this week. We hit some nerd news followed by our review of Kevin Smith’s 2nd installment of his True North Trilogy, Yoga Hosers.
We also discuss some of the more recent celebrity deaths.
Incoherent ramblings will be back next week.

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.

Here we have another Nerdsense Drinks volume! We’ve compiled Nerdsense Drinks Episode 7 and Episode 8
Style: IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Pilsner Tulip
Notes: Malty with hops on nose. Taste: Juicy, citrus, pine, great finish
Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose: 4.75/5
Style: Strong Ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip
Notes: Nose: Malty caramel with apricot, boozy. Mike got “sewage” or bad water” Taste: Better beers have come since this. Taste: Malt and caramel comes through as it did on the nose. There are hops for sure.
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.50/5 — We were thrown off by how much our tastes have changed given this was one of the craft beers that got us really loving it.
Style: Strong Ale
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Spiegelau Snifter and Firestone Walker Tulip
Notes: Nose: Oak (obviously), maple which adds sweetness on top of bourbon. Taste: Smooth and balanced. Sweetness and mellow compared to the normal Arrogant
Overall Nerdsense Rating: Nose: 4.25/5
**BLEND** (Shaun’s favorite part!) 4/5!
You lose the oak and it kind of makes the regular Arrogant a little more smooth and tasty

It’s a slow news week in regards to nerdy things but that doesn’t stop Mike and Shaun from trekking through and discussing some upcoming beer fests and brewery tours. They scrape together a bit of nerd talk but for the most part this is a fairly beer centric conversation.
Sit back, pop open a cold one and hit play!
Style: Double IPA
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: Look – Golden, filtered. Nose – tropical, piny and malty. Not as exciting for something you’d expect from a Stone and Sierra collab. Taste – smooth, clean, juniper berry, bitter
Tomoka Brewing Oceanside White IPA
Style: IPA
Container: 12oz Can
Glassware: Firestone Walker Tulip and Tulip
Overall Nerdsense Rating: 4/5
Notes:Look – Golden, sort of unfiltered, good head retention Nose – Lemon and other citrus. Taste – sweet but still some good hop character with little bitterness
