High Gravity

Thumbs up for Mike is back with the guys this week and I guess Johnny sounded a bit annoyed in the beginning, he DEFINITELY was not I promise but we start out with some general BS before the first beer. Stories flow from the brewery Halloween party too as they get into a REALLY cool looking can! And then after some more stories and a few more beers, the guys try to take out Johnny again prompting the return of the donkey with the final beer and special treat of the night!!!

Tune in to see how they held up over the years, or didn't... PLENTY of stories mixed in between all the beers this week and somehow we stayed pretty well on topic!

The guys start this week out a bit different with a wonderful and limited release beer from Starr Craft, Dark Matter! Thumbs up for Mike and Mr. Matt join the table again this week as well and we start off RIGHT into the beer sampling! Lots of beer talk, some liquor talk and then more drinking stories, imagine that haha. After a short break following a discussion of Shandys, Darrell makes some wonderful Starr Craft Shandys for the guys and then the show continues!! Darrell mentions a new beverage coming out at the brewery soon, and then a couple songs discussed get Johnny going off on his hatred of them... The guys tell some stories about getting pulled over before getting into the final beer of the evening. And with the length of the notes here, I'ma call it, listen to the show to hear the rest about whatever it was we talked about...

Thumbs up for Mike and Mr. Matt join the guys for tonights episode. Getting into a wonderful new song Brother Darrell made up (yep, you are going to hear it a couple times if you haven't already haha) and then FINALLY getting into the beers of the show. Darrell gets into stories about the Biergarten Games event that happened over the weekend resulting in both he AND Bree from Commercial House will be doing the Polar Plunge fundraiser event in February, more details on that to follow if anyone would like to participate! Kind of zoned out a bit after writing that part, my bad though it was still a good beer related conversation episode among plenty of other BS for our third birthday so just listen and enjoy this weeks episode! And make sure to check out the aftershow from this session too, that one got a bit wild!!

Thumbs up for Mike is back again with us this week and the conversation is rather beer related at least at first. interesting conversations at least and not going to lie, yet again was working on a few things while editing and kinda forgot to make notes at times so sit back and enjoy this episode as we both listen to what we talked about! We did get into a fair bit of nerd speak conversation towards the end, I do remember that part...

With the return of Mr. Jim we kick this episode off with a new guest! You have heard us refer to him and occasionally rope him into a sample or two on the show but we OFFICIALLY welcome our new guest JP! He's a local staple at the brewery as a bartender and on karaoke nights as well and we finally get him to sit in with us on the show! The guys do have a bit of a theme in todays episode, primarily based on "No Rules" as they have quite a selection in the show beer bin. Brother Darrell has a nice bit of news of some new options coming to the brewery as well! Going to make you all listen to the episode to find that out though and how the rest of the show goes!

Episode 147: Till Death Do Us Part

We are joined this with with returning guest Mel! AND Jim again being played by Bob this week. I had forgotten when recording that we had Steve and Maureen on awhile back so Bob and Mel were in fact NOT the first husband/wife at the same time HOWEVER, the first ones to have appeared separately and then together! Once again lots of good beers and audience members which makes for wonderful conversations and per our usual mantra, the bullshit is VERY plentiful this week, things are ALL OVER THE PLACE! We are again graced with the presence of Darrells new "friend" as well for some technical info on the fly! Oh and be warned, Bob's first drunk story is LONG but lots of funny points and good happy ending.

Rescue Ale - Petosky Brewing

Velvet Peanut Butter Porter - Lansing Brewing Company

Pillar of Beasts - 3 Floyds Brewing

Jim was out of our office this week so we had a fill in, BOB! One of our latest night recording sessions yet, but we had lots of beers, lots of fun, Thumbs up for Mike joined us again, things got a bit wild and odd but it was a great time! Lots more audience members this time too so that helped make things extra weird and fun!! Darrell introduces a new friend partway through the show as well that makes for some fun conversation from this show into the next one even! Definitely a fun one to listen to and enjoy!! DO NOT WORRY THOUGH, WE DID NOT REPLACE JIM, he will be back in a few episodes haha.

Copperstar Galactica - Beards Brewery

After doing some digging through the cellar bin, the guys choose a few wonderful beverages to try out on today's episode as they are joined once again by Mr. Arthur! There is some more wonderful discussion and descriptions about Malort that the guys got their hands on awhile back too courtesy of Mr. Bob and Mrs. Mel, I do maintain it REALLY isn't as bad as everyone seems to think, assuming you go into knowing it will be bad... Conversation is as expected for the guys this episode, it gets weird at times and is plenty of fun throughout all the random conversations this week! ALSO, we at High Gravity do not ACTUALLY hate Ohio by any means, it's just a college football thing I promise lmao.

The guys are joined this week by another brewery regular Mr. Arthur!! Darrell made the selection of beverages this week from the bin 'o beers in the back and happened to pick out all the sour beers so this one has a rather interesting start to it, especially since one of the cans looked like it was about to blow the lid off (see the picture on our facebook haha). Regardless, the first few beers go REALLY fast but the conversation flows pretty well, good stories and a couple more good beers after the sour start and a good time had by all!!
