Typically, Nigel shows up to the show prepared with a nice drinker and the all-important bag of Mystery Beers. This night, was not your typical night. Since Nigel forgot the drinker, Nick stepped with a can of good old fashioned Beer Karma — in the form of Pirate Water (thanks, Forest!). This oddly decent-tasting red beverage packed a punch, coming in at 10% ABV. Givon Blakney, better known as @sentricstyles on the socials entered The Vault for this episode to talk his love affair with craft beer and the evolution of his video beer reviews. Oh, and there was much burping.

Look away kids. When two Nigels get together, it get's a little bit awkward. Really, we're not sure why co-host Nigel Woodberry got so excited when he told Nick Parker they were interviewing Canadian River Brewing's Nigel Dunham — we've had multiple episodes with two Nicks! OK, maybe it is kinda cool. Our Nigel grew up in Oklahoma and this Nigel still lives there and is busy bringing good beer to his home town. Dunham shares his beer story and how he continues to grow his beer business.
