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.

Get the too much beer mug.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.
