High Gravity

Episode 66: Surprise Visitors A couple of surprise visitors (Johnny's friends Ed and Sara along with their daughter) stop by to say hello and one of them (Ed) got thrown onto the mic for part of the episode. Starting off otherwise with a quick flashback to the Hulk Hogan beer, then continuing on with the episode in Quad beers! This is a fun one for Mr. Ed as he is kind of new to most of this kind...

Episode 65: Our First Bottle Share  From a number of interviews and a HUGE number of beers we sampled at the event, this one was a TON of fun and with everything we tried the day of, we couldn't fit EVERYTHING on the episode unfortunately. However we invite you to sit back with your favorite beverage, join us in retrospect of our very first bottle share event and enjoy a fairly BS-less VERY beer f...

Episode 64: Baron The Hulk The guys are joined again by one of their first guests on the show John Baron and get into a few good beers including the Hulk Hogan beer!

Episode 63: Carol's Back Somehow the guys managed to convince Carol to come back on the show, does she regret it? Maybe after the way some of this episode goes!

Brought to you by special forgetfulness to upload during the week, enjoy this special release, intended random drop episode on a Sunday! Definitely one of our shorter episodes and unfortunately starting the episode off with a rather bad beer, or at least everyone but Johnny thinks so, the guys do manage to have some rather good beers in this one! INCLUDING a couple Johnny brought that he got from...

While the guys were messaging in the group chat on a random Tuesday, it came to light that no one had anything going on, ONE OF THEM was already a few drinks in and more beer sounded GREAT!! So they all went down to the place where they all know their names and try to cobble something together... After presenting a new idea for show promos and IMMEDIATELY failing at that attempt they move into why...

Once again Mr Bill has graced us with his presence and some absolutely FANTASTIC beverages!

Starting the episode off with a beer Johnny has been saving for Brother Darrell, yes he knows he hates them and yes he did this intentionally!

One of Johnnys most favorite beer categories of all time, coffee... Moving onto a discussion of some other beer categories, the guys discuss the poss...

Johnny tells the story of how the recording day started, it was born from a fantastic dream that turned into sitting across from the guys drinking beers.

A fun story from Johnnys friend, who was quickly remembered to be Darrell!! It took th...
