Nerdsense

In this weeks episode Mike and I brew another Nerdsense beer. It’s an Oak Aged Porter. Hopefully it comes out a little better and fuller bodied than the last couple.

As for discussion topics, we dive into a maybe touchy subject but you’ll understand once you listen…

Some other not so touchy topics include the Superboy TV Series, comics to the screen adapations and what was done wrong and what was done right.

In our first episode of 2015 we are joined by regular guest extraordinaire, Jason as well his good friend, Scott. Scott is apparently an actual fan of the show. Let that one sink in…we have a real listener and reader of this thing. Not sure who I’m typing to here so….Hi Mike, Jason and Scott!

Anyways…we discuss the new Avengers trailer, Spiderman in the MCU rumors, Ant Man and Agent Carter. As always, we deviate from the set topics and dive into the great blue deep of Nerdsense!

This weeks episode is a little hectic. Mike and I brew a 1 gallon batch of Bavarian Hefeweizen during the show so there are a few breaks we edited the best we could. We also delve into rather lengthy music discussion which should make the music nerds happy.

Beer

Night Shift Young Guns – This was part of a “showdown” to find the next recipe for Night Shift’s Morph IPA series. It was actually one of the losers but still pretty damn good. More info on the competition can be found here.

Stone Lucky Bastard Criminal – A version of their Lucky Bastard, which is exceptional, but they then tossed in a  tremendous amount of hot peppers then aged it in bourbon barrels. The peppers are just to over powering and just destroy your mouth. The real crime is they ruined bottles of Lucky Bastard for this.

We invited Jason back to the show this week as we had a lot of ground to cover. We discuss the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer at length while more or less scolding DC again.

As always we venture off into tirades of nerdy nonsense.

In this weeks episode we are joined by our friend Joel. He adds more of the actual comic book nerdery we’ve needed. He can speak on multiple comic arcs and sort of flesh out stuff we discuss in relation to comic movies.

We’ve been trying to get Joel on for awhile but schedules never aligned properly or he bailed.

We decided to do things a little different this week. Instead of just telling you what beer we were drinking, we did a whole segment on Sam Adams Latitude 48 Deconstructed 12 pack. Latitude 48 is an IPA by Sam Adams that includes 5 different types of hops. Sam Adams brewed 5 versions of the Latitude 48 to better show the drinker how each hop brings it’s own characteristics to Latitude 48.

Each beer is brewed with one of the hop styles. Some of the beers are sweeter and mellower than others whereas some give off an extremely juicy hop burst. You are meant to sample each beer then sample the Latitude 48 at the end. It really opens your eyes into brewing and all the time and effort it must take to select the right flavors to brew a properly balanced beer.

As always we still nerd out and discuss the Gotham Pilot, the current state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Michael briefly touches on Kevin Smiths new film, Tusk.
