High Gravity

Episode 107: Laughing Shake Starting the episode off with an odd story about the Starr Craft brewery Halloween party from a few days before recording, the guys are joined by brewery regulars Bob and his wife Mel, both whom have been on the show before and bring a great presence to the group. A shout out and huge congratulations also to Johnny's cousin Dave and his wife Emily on their wedding also...

Episode 106: Give em the Schwarz Mr. Bill joins the guys again along with some more of his CRAZY GOOD homebrews. The episode starts off very on topic with a fair bit of cider discussion. Johnny adds some more discussion about the Wheels in the Woods event from a few weeks ago, and the guys move onto an AMAZING mead selection from Mr. Bill. With so much beer and brewing discussion going on this epi...

Episode 105: Mr. Bills Bag One of our shorter episodes this week, Mr. Bill has again graced the guys with his presence and his WONDERFUL bag 'o beverages!! Starting the episode off with one of Mr. Darrell's favorites a rather unique farmhouse style sour and moving quickly onto another of Mr. Bill's AMAZING homebrews! Johnny talks a bit about the brewery Oktoberfest party and a bit about one of his...

Episode 104: Second Anniversary Joining the guys for this special occasion, Mr. Bill graced the guys with his presence once again and brought a treat they have been talking about for close to two years now!! They were absolutely AMAZING and went SOOOO well with the choices in studio when they recorded, apologies for the chewing sounds but MAN were they good!! The guys have been out of the studio f...

Episode 103: Case of Misfits The guys get into some IPAs this week, at least starting off it's a very beer focused episode again, weird I know! Stories don't fall too far from subject related this week either so that's probably why the description looks so short, just feels kinda off doesn't it? OH! Johnny did talk about some beer math for the mug club membership costs later on, so that happened t...

Episode 102: Staring at these Beers This episode takes on a Michigan summer beer theme, everything the guys get into this is from Michigan and has some sort of tropical or summer theme. Johnny and Jim talk about the group visit to Schram's Meadery and some other stops around Ferndale they made the weekend before. WONDERFUL trip btw if you haven't been, HIGHLY recommend visiting! Overall it's a VER...

Episode 101: Beers we haven't had Starting off with an unusual style of beer, and an unusually older one for the guys, the first one was graciously donated by Mr. Jeff the beer donator, thank you again Mr. Jeff! Sadly A LOT of the beers characteristics seem to have fallen off though... MOSTLY this episode stays on topic with beer discussions, though as the conversation goes a bit towards NOT good...

Episode 100: Episode 100 Keeping things simple and kind of mellow for this one, the guys get into a fantastic selection of beers for this milestone episode and do what they can to keep the show as on topic as possible. Of course they go off track a bit and there is SOME BS in the episode though it is still a mellow and fun episode. Somehow it appears Johnny is the one keeping the episode on topic...

Episode 99: Cheers to Pudge In this wonderfully mead filled episode, the guys continue their occupation of the super secret location, use courtesy of Mr. Jeff and his wife, along with the same guest appearances of Mr. Jeff on the mic and everyone's wives (and Johnny's mixer...) in the background. This being essentially a third episode of this recording session, the guys call a cheers and salute to...

Episode 98: My Name is Jeff After a bit of a recording hiatus, the guys are back from a super secret location with special guest Mr. Jeff and audience members. Everyone started out with some VERY high gravity beers to welcome them back and get back in the groove of things and quickly got into some fun BS with Johnny trying to irritate Mr. Jim off the rip. Everything stays for the most part beer re...

Episode 97: Swallow the Mic The BS starting a bit strong this episode, the guys started out by grabbing brewery regular and corn hole aficionado Mr. Mark right off the street (kind of literally...) and forced him to sit down and have some drinks with them. Starting with a beer Johnny finally tried over the weekend that ended up being WAY better than expected! Then they got into some real beer so a...

Episode 96: About Clams Johnny was poking at Jims nerves a bit in the beginning but they finally get off to a start with a fantastic selection from Transient! Jim starts off with tales of his visit to Transient and how wonderful their place was, some more stories from random stuff and bs from all the guys and I won't lie, I was working on other things while proof editing this one and kinda forgot...

Episode 95: MUCH Better Episode Johnny wraps up the fate of the cans from last week, the guys talk about hot sauces. There's a fair amount of BS and promotion of a show favorite business this week, Darrel brings up about an ai summary of a previous episode he messed with that COMPLETELY IGNORED Jim in the entire summary! With a flashback of a paperclip character we all know and love then moving on...

Episode 94: Maybe Skip This One After a bit of a iffy start due to a minor equipment issue, the guys get right into what ended up being a NOT great episode for them... There really wasn't a favorite this time of planned beverages and overall they DID NOT have a good time this week. It was to a point they packed it up and went home after recording this, there wasn't even a kill shot on facebook fro...

Episode 93: Fruits of Wisconsin On a recent trip to visit Johnnys sister in Minnesota (hello btw!) their dad and her visited a favorite store of hers across the border into Wisconsin to get Johnny and the guys a taste of Wisconsin, thus we have here an entire episode of beers the guys sample and discuss from New Glarus!! A few you have heard the guys discuss before but there are several new additi...

Episode 92: Good to be Here Welcoming back Adam, the guys start right into the beer this episode. The content is mostly on topic with BS sprinkled in between beers this episode. They do get into a bit of discussion of pyramid schemes so that made for some fun conversation for awhile and conspiracy talk of the book-it program... The guys get into a bunch of other discussions about halfway through t...

Episode 91: Land of the Cobra Chicken Joined by new guest to the show Adam, he shared with the guys some wonderful beers from the great white north. The guys begin the day with some fresh beer selections of the dessert/breakfast variety before getting into the selections from Adam. For the most part the episode stays on topic for some weird reason so there's not too much fun stuff I can use in the...

Episode 90: Dark Lord 2025 Wrap Up Wrapping up our most epic vertical of Dark Lord, we are joined this episode with another long time friend of Jim's, the guy who taught him everything he knows, the man the myth the legend and we FINALLY got him on the show, Senpai! With a quick palate break from 3 Floyds, the guys start the episode off with one of the last beers from an unfortunately closed brewe...

Episode 89: Dark Lord 2025 Following the annual pilgrimage to Dark Lord Day at the 3 Floyds brewery, Mr. Jim and his longtime friend Chris join the guys for the first of what promises to be an epic and absolutely AMAZING pair of episodes all about Dark Lord!! Doing the ultimate vertical of the wettest of dreams (I mean mouth watering you sick minded people...) this week and then finished with a wo...

Episode 88: How'd You Get in Here This episode starts with something special... More odd and questionable though we assure you all he REALLY was just fulfilling a promise made back during the bottle share a few months ago, and maybe a bit of hair of the dog from the wedding he was at the day before recording, congrats again to Mr. Matt, who has been on the show a few times, and his new wife Ashley...

Episode 87: Mystery Can 2.5 With brother Darrel ALMOST giving away the surprise final beverage at the beginning of this episode, he and Johnny TRY to pull over a "mystery can" (with a trick can) surprise on Mr. Jim... In doing the best they could to commit to the part to TRY and pull this over on him, they TOTALLY failed, thus the .5 part of the title... We WILL try again, and probably shouldn't t...

Episode 86: Gins of Enjoyment Welcoming Mr. Keith back to the show, the guys are doing another liquor episode this week while enjoying some of his favorite drinks, Gin! As you can tell from the start, Mr. Jim and Brother Darrell are NOT too keen on doing these this week but they soldier on with full participation though maybe smaller samples and prove through this episode the epitome of a statemen...

Episode 85: Beers of the UP The guys are joined this week by the actual Jim of Jim's Nuts!! Husband of Baker Lois who joined us a few weeks ago and whom was also in the audience with us. While they were both on a recent trip around the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, they brought a wonderful selection of beers back with them to share with the guys on the show, many thanks again to the both of you!! S...

Episode 84: Mystery Can 2.0 Welcoming Mr. Matt back this week, the guys start out this episode off with some odd stories before starting into the first beer, a most favorite of Darrell's a wonderful sour!! Mr. Matt shows off a unique skill he has with his fingers and glass rims while Mr. Jim brings us back to the point of our show and into the next beer, which is AMAZING btw!! With some on again o...

Episode 83: Garage beer with Matt Welcoming Mr. Matt back to the show, the guys get right into the beer this time. For the first bit of the episode anyways, conversation remains fairly on topic about beer. Moving a bit off topic to ai generated songs from Kind of the Hill, then back to beer. Moving onto some wild stories from Johnny's youth and in combination with some talk of the old Biscos "gent...
