[S3/E8] Working The Night Shift

Author: John Holzer, Greg Nagel, Joe Senigaglia, Jason Harris February 22, 2016 Duration: 48:48

Season 3, Episode 8 – This week, beers from Night Shift Brewing and Perennial Artisan Ales.

This week, Nagel brought the pain with SoCal rarities from Perennial Artisan Ales and Night Shift Brewing.

Before we get into the beers, it should be known that Greg’s cask ale festival called “Firkfest” is going down on March 19, 2016 in Anaheim, California. We’ve been promoting this event for good reason—it’s a unique festival to Southern California, featuring 50 breweries and 30 cask beers, ranging from the more traditional cask conditioned beers to firkins with chocolate, peppers, or whatever else brewers want to add to their standard release and one-off beers. Get your tickets at firkfest.com.

Excellent Brews from Perennial and Night Shift.

First up on the show this week is a brew from Night Shift Brewing, a gose made with oysters. Oysters are more commonly used in stouts to add a salty, briny/dry character. In this case, they were added during the boil of the gose, which is a beer style that is inherently salty. Adding the brine character from oysters is a natural fit for the gose style of beer.

Next up is another gose made by Perennial Artisan Ales, but this one goes (oh, words) in a different direction. This beer also has a tart, salty quality, but is made with lemon peel and orange peel, along with a healthy dose of key lime juice. This beer is great—a true summer seeeper.

We wrap up with two more Night Shift beers, Ever Weisse (radness) and Maracuya. Night Shift is reminiscent of The Bruery in terms of their curious exploration and their quality execution of unusual beer styles. At the same time, Perennial is also kicking ass and taking names. We can get Perennial in SoCal right now, but Night Shift would be a welcome addition…just saying’.

BREW THE SHIT OUT OF IT.

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens among friends after a few great beers, where technical knowledge and genuine enthusiasm collide with unfiltered humor. That's the space Four Brewers: Craft Beer and Homebrew occupies every week. Hosted by John Holzer, Greg Nagel, Joe Senigaglia, and Jason Harris, this podcast feels less like a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a stool in their garage brewery. The discussion flows naturally from deeply informed tasting notes on the latest craft releases to the practical, sometimes messy, realities of homebrewing. You'll hear them dissect beer styles, interview industry folks, and troubleshoot their own brewing experiments, all with a layer of camaraderie and comedy that comes from years of shared obsession. It’s a show for anyone who appreciates the artistry in a well-crafted pint but doesn’t take the conversation too seriously. Tune in for authentic, geeky beer talk that celebrates the community and the constant learning process behind every glass and every batch. Whether you're a seasoned homebrewer or just curious about what makes your favorite IPA tick, the Four Brewers crew makes the world of beer feel welcoming, interesting, and consistently entertaining.
