High Gravity

High Gravity

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!

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 all was right in the world again. Th...

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 to make a complete set of notes... ...

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 from what they drank this day... HOWEV...

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 the episode that is quite entertaini...

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.

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!! Joined again by brewery regular ...

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 try and do it with Jim's 2nd holiest...

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.
