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 first homebrew beers and the judging class from long ago and the beer fridge he has in the garage now! Moving into the next beverage from Mr. Bills bag, a VERY interesting one with a spicy kick that was a bit of an unexpected surprise for Johnny, and a cherry element that was an interesting twist for Darrell too! It doesn't QUITE go how you think it may go if you listen regularly but you're going to have to listen if you want to know how it goes...

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 for awhile so they do catch up with some stories of what they've been up to while intermixing some beer talk. A LOT of BS in this episode but still SOME actual beer talk! Cheers to all of you for sticking with us up until now, and here's to many more episodes to come!

Quad Radical - Two Brothers Brewing Company

Episode 103: Case of Misfits
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 too... I suppose some conversation towards the end of the episode gets a bit off topic though as well...

Wheezin' the Juice - Grand Armory Brewing

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 VERY beer focused episode, with Johnny talking about a new PBR variant he came across and Darrell talking about some new fall themed beverage variations the brewery will be offering very soon!! Also, Johnny apologizes for all the clearing this episode, he's been working around A LOT of old dust and dirt lately...

Episode 101: Beers we haven't had
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 things about a local guy at another bar, the guys are HAPPILY interrupted from this and are joined by Mr. Mike Scalici of Scalici's Pizza!! Catching him back up with a few of last weeks beers (not sure how/what those are still good from a whole week ago...) and then getting into the new ones from this weeks episode! He gives us an update on how they are doing and tells us of some of the new gloriously amazing food offerings they have in the back! Then the rest of the episode is mixed beer talk and BS back and forth with Mike... So sit back and enjoy the show and when you have a chance come down (or up/sideways or whatever I suppose...) to the brewery for some nice refreshing beer and step in the back to order some AMAZING Scalici's wood fire cooked pizza, pretzels and smoked wings!!

High Gravity is a show where we talk about beer, brewing, and bullshit! Our primary goal is to talk about Michigan goings on in the beer world and local happenings around our beautiful state. Our aim is to present this information in a fun and not too serious way so that everyone from new brewers and beer drinkers to the most seasoned and experienced enthusiasts can enjoy the show! The more we drink during the show, the more comes out and the more fun we have so language CAN get a bit colorful at times though we do our best to keep it in check, most of the time!! We hope you enjoy the show!
