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.

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.

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.

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."
