    Episode 116: Collision Bend Brewing

    Episode 116: Collision Bend Brewing Originating from a day trip to Cleveland, some dude named Phil standing in the street with a stack of pallets (Hey Phil) and a quick discussion about a can of PB Blaster, a few fantastic beers followed Johnny home to become this episode! Previously from Great Lakes Brewing Company, NOW from his own brewery, Collision Bend Brewing Company, Mr. Luke Purcell joins the guys for their first remote phone interview! Getting into some stories of his and the brewery's history, the area surrounding it and even a story about the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter (by GLBC) AND how the river by the brewery caught fire a few times. Yes I did say a RIVER CAUGHT ON FIRE!! Unusually MOST of this episode is about beer, breweries, the brewing process and our community as a whole. While not a lot of BS the guys manage to stay on topic almost the entire time! LOTS of GREAT conversation with Mr. Luke and while this episode is one of our longer ones, the only reason we stopped was the brewery was about to open and we still had to clean up... Thanks again to Luke, Phil and all the crew down at Collision Bend Brewing for the great beers and great conversation! Oh ya, and Happy New year too!   Brewery Website: www.collisionbendbrewery.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/collisionbrew Instagram: www.instagram.com/collisionbrew   Beers featured in this episode: Lake Erie Sunset - Collision Bend Brewing  Ole Low Phil - Collision Bend Brewing Pale 17 - Collision Bend Brewing 8 Crazy Nights - Collision Bend Brewing Loosen Up Lager (Collaboration with PB Blaster) - Collision Bend Brewing   #HighGravity

    Episode 115: Christmas 2025

    Episode 115: Christmas 2025 Starting with our traditional Christmas story, we at High Gravity want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and/or Happy/Merry whatever else you may celebrate!! Most importantly, enjoy some cold beverages while you are enjoying the holiday seasons events! Anyways, we start out with one of the strangest beers we have had, following a story of a REALLY odd holiday game that is apparently played (news to me anyways haha), the beer itself was EXACTLY as one would think, it was... Interesting... We have a few holiday themed beers to start this episode off and then move back into some of our more normal regular scheduled programming so sit back with a good beverage and enjoy this weeks episode!

    Episode 114: Butter on a Pop Tart

    Episode 114: Butter on a Pop tart We started the episode out with some random chatting and BS as usual, including a short serenade from Mr Jim before finally getting into the first of our VERY strong selections of the day! Some fairly mild conversation this episode really, decent amount a beer chat with the beers featured today though the BS conversations were uncharacteristically mild for the guys... I'll be honest, I forgot to work on a lot of the notes for this while editing, there was some conversation about the most recent trivia night at the brewery and somehow Johnny ended up winning the whole thing, I guess he may very well be smarter than a 5th grader...  There were some interesting tales from the days of Blockbuster Video Stores and some other stuff I kind of forgot to write down so I'm not going to add too much more here just to say tune in and enjoy!! Beers featured in this episode: Flying Buffalo Imperial Stout (Bourbon Barrel Aged) - Griffin Claw Brewing Company Flying Buffalo Bourbon Barrel Aged Dubai Chocolate 2025 - Griffin Claw Brewing Company Flying Buffalo Bourbon Barrel Aged Stroopwafel 2025 - Griffin Claw Brewing Company Flying Buffalo Bourbon Barrel Aged Root Beer Float 2025 - Griffin Claw Brewing Company Chthonic (double bourbon barrel aged Bochet with rootbeer) - Maniacal Mead CO. #HighGravity

    Episode 113: Johnnys Beer Box

    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. We get through a couple extra beers and do so WAY faster than normal with all the guests, and though it is a bit distracting with so many people, the BS flows FAR TOO WELL.! OH, and to finish the call out, Sam is going to be making us a cheesecake so we will have that to review at some point in the future and will DEFINITELY WILL NOT FORGET! Somehow we got into some food talk towards the end and collectively decide we needed to STOP recording with where it was all going so enjoy this weeks episode and tune in next week!! Beers featured in this episode: Münchner (Munich) Gold - Hacker-Pschorr IPA - Lagunitas Brewing Company Kombine 2025 Collaboration - Brouerji St. Bernardus and Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan Weihenstephaner Helles - Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan Red Velvet - Rochester Mills Production #HighGravity

    Episode 112: Johnny NOOOOOO

    Episode 112: Johnny NOOOOOO Joined again by Sam and this time Deb joins as well for our 2nd episode of the session! Starting the episode off with a coffee beer, the beers keep coming and the conversation keeps a flowin! The BS starts off pretty early and continues through the episode though there is still a lot of beer talk amongst it! Partway through the episode, Deb switches out with a new guest, Mr Al! No $50 two pack or $29 special shoe pricing this time and unfortunately the 2nd beer he joined the guys for just so happened to be one of the worst ones we've had on the show... While Johnny still liked it and finished all the samples (ya we know, he's an odd one...) EVERYONE quickly dumped that and moved onto the next one, guess there has to be a miss every now and then with all the beers these guys do and there's quite a few in this episode!  Beers featured in this episode: Cold Brew - Samuel Adams Nitro Creme Brulee - Southern Tier Brewing Company Turbo Reaper IPA - 3 Floyds Brewing Gnommegang - Brewery Ommegang Agua Fresca Strawberry Hibiscus - Austin Eastciders New Grist Gosa Rita - Lakefront Brewery White Chocolate Blonde - Grand Armory Brewing French Toast Devil Dog - Roak Brewing Co. #HighGravity

Mr. Jim brought some SUPER HOT hot sauce for the guys to try out this week and the donkey makes a comeback along with a special guest towards the end of the episode who calls out all the guys when he tries Jim's special sauce, sorry for the volume from Johnny...
