High Gravity

Episode 125: 22 Second Skip Not exactly sure what happened with this one, to Darrells delight, there were issues getting one of todays samples to open so we ended up skipping a whole bottle of wonderful (per Johnnys stance anyhow...) cherry wine. We did manage to recover with an absolutely FANTASTIC selection from a local maker followed by the lone beer the guys had in todays episode. Johnny did manage to get some of the "bonus" wi...

Not sorry for it either man, it was A LOT of fun haha. The guys are joined this week by a special guest, that kept another guest on edge the entire time! We were joined my Mr. Jeff's wife (and Zack from the titles mom...) Anne!! She brought with her an INSANELY good collection of Schramm's mead and each one seemed to get better than the one before. Everything was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and it was hard to choose a single favorite amon...

Episode 123: Episode 123 HA! That seemed like a funny title when I was editing so I rolled with it... ANYWAYS, we start our sort of salute to Valentines days with Johnny's sad and depressing plans for the night then get into a PHENOMENAL selection of beers we have for this week. While there is certainly some BS as always that you all have come to know and love, there was a lot of good beer talk with these beers this week. I'll keep...

Episode 122: Rule of the Parrots The guys are joined by a new guest, long time friend of Johnny's, Mr. Kevin!

Stories abound from last nights dinner and beers gathering at Mr. Jims house, also some stories from California, stuff about hot peppers and a bunch of other stuff. Pretty heavy beer related episode and MOSTLY on topic throughout but still lots of fun and funny stuff! There's more but I am EXHA...

Episode 120: Reach for the Starrs Well, it happened again, the guys were out of beer so they did a whole episode about Starr Craft brews, including a couple of new beers not yet available!

Part way through they are rejoined by Mr. Matt aft...

Episode 119: Butter on a Pop Tart AGAIN Well, we actually did it, or rather Johnny in his infinite weirdness and boredom tried butter on a pop tart, details when ya listen!

Amid the random selection of tales this wee...

Episode 117: Firestone Sliding right on into the episode this week, the guys get into some awesome beers from Firestone Walker Brewing Company out of California, courtesy of Mr. Jeff, thanks again Jeff!! First and foremost, apologies for Johnnys coughing, got some lingering BS going on that's been REALLY annoying. The episode stays mostly on topic again with a good variety of different beer from Firestone, PLENTY of side stories of...

I'll be honest, I forgot to wo...

Episode 113: Johnnys Beer Box Joined by THREE guests (Sam, Al and Deb) this episode making it the most we have had at one time! This third session episode is a bit short but it's a VERY fun, beer and mostly BS filled episode.
