It’s been a year of this shit. An entire fucking year. The last day that my family kept a “normal” schedule was March 13th, 2020, I remember well because it was my youngest son’s 2nd birthday, I left work early to grab him from daycare so we could go home for pizza, cake and presents. […]

Night Shift Steinbier
The calendar has turned to September (seriously, what the hell happened to summer) and I am ready to dive into some fall beers. I am not a fan of pumpkin beers, to each their own they just aren’t for me, but I love some richer and more malt forward beers in the fall including brown […]
Night Shift Pomegranate State
A year or two ago (I don’t remember exactly, it all seems to run together as you start to get old) I was having a Twitter chat with Night Shift brewer Isaac Boucher about our mutual disappointment that Night Shift had decided to not brew any saisons that spring/summer. Isaac and I both love the […]
Night Shift Fluffinity
I’ve written a lot about the need for a brewery to find the right balance between their stable of core/flagship brands and the rotating/seasonal/one-off beers that keep the brand innovative and interesting. A good example of a brewery that has found this balance is Night Shift. Their core brands are all strong, led by hoppy […]

Night Shift Dynasty
I have been on a massive dark and malty beer kick over the last month. Part of it is the season, I feel like these beers are perfect for cold winter nights, and we’ve had a few of those recently. Part of it is hop burnout, I drank too much IPA in 2018 and I […]
Night Shift Albert
The advantages of selling beer directly to the consumer have been well documented, but most breweries quickly realize that there is a limit to the amount of beer they can move on premise without distribution. The Mass Brew Brothers recently wrote an article on the top 25 breweries in Massachusetts by volume, and the vast […]
Night Shift Waiting for Anton
At the beginning of my last article on the New England Craft Beer Hall of Fame I mentioned my mixed feelings about Twitter, the social media site that features a ton of hate and trolling but also awesome people coming together over their shared passion for a common interest. Beer Twitter has some trolls, accounts […]
Night Shift Matisse
It has been an eventful month for Night Shift Brewing. First they launched their new light lager Nite Lite in cans, with the goal of syphoning business away from the big macro brands. It will be very interesting to see what kind of sustained market that beer attracts. Next they announced that they are opening […]
