high gravity beer

High Gravity, when used to describe a beer, refers to the specific gravity of the wort, which is what beer is called before fermentation. When the wort's specific gravity, aka the Original Gravity, exceeds 1.070, the finished product is called a High Gravity Beer. The significance of High Gravity is that more sugars and flavoring agents such as caramel and dextrins are present in the wort, yielding a more alcoholic and flavorful beer.

Stout and Porter are examples of High Gravity Beer.

sitting-down beer

he style/type of beer often consumed while sitting down. These beer types are commonly characterized by:

- Marketing based on culture, i.e. beer afficianados
- Higher cost (less expensive)
- Sometimes referred to as "microbrews"

Sitting-down beer can be consumed while standing, but doesn't really fit the mojo. "Sitting down" is not an absolute requirement.

Sitting-down beer is in direct contrast to standing-up beer.

Common scenarios where sitting-down beer is found:

- Pleasant dinner with colleagues
- "Game night" with other couples
- Bars/taverns that cater to professional clientele

Six-Beer Philosophy

That sort of wonderful logical thinking that only comes around the happily drunk stage, after the debris of everyday thinking has been melted away, but before absolute brain paralysis sets in. It can often be accompanied by emphatic verbalisation (especially when no-one else is there) and a forceful jab of the drinking vessel.

"You know what I reckon? I reckon if I shtopped ushing deodorant for a week, my body would automatically readjusht and I'd shtop needing it forever."

"Thatsh shome good six-beer philosophy there mate."

International Beer Day

An excuse for people who like holiday and drinking to have a drunken day off in the holiday-less month of August. People internationally gather to drink beer (not necessarily international beer) on August 5th and practice the art of Beer it Forward.

My favorite holiday is International Beer Day, because it involves more beer and less ugly sweaters than Christmas.

The Sum of All Beers

All-permeating state of post-inebriation terror that can strike even the most battle-hardened of bevvy merchants. Sufferers will typically curl up in an angst-ridden ball with little comprehension of their whereabouts in time or space with only a poorly defined feeling of impending catastrophe for company.

Symptoms are magnified tenfold if the sufferer has a professional commitment to attend to the following day.

Morgan Freeman: "Ben, can you help me stop a catastrophic nuclear war being triggered by a rogue terror cell?"

Ben Affleck: "Sorry Morgan, I hit the lager pretty hard last night and have been struck down by the sum of all beers. You're on your own for this one."
