  1. And the Bastard Shall Set You Free | High Octane Growler

    A staple of the Stone Brewing Co.’s annual line-up of speciality craft beers, Stone Double Bastard Ale has seen several incarnations since it was first introduced in 2000, with radically different formulas and ingredients from one year to the next.

    One thing which has remained constant, however, is Stone’s commitment to bold craft beer innovation, best summed up by Stone’s Arrogant Bastard sticker campaign slogan, “fizzy yellow beer is for wussies.” Indeed, and it is with annual releases of Double Bastard Ale the beer-versus-wussies rubber meets the road.

    Unbeknownst to us, Stone’s Minister of Indoctrination Ken Wright has been hoarding several bombers’ worth of Double Bastard Ale releases the last few years, and he generously opted to share the wealth for this edition of High Octane Growler, along with returning champion Garett Michaels and High Octane Growler producer and host Tommy Hough.

    With a few Double Bastard Ales imbibed and without much prodding, the topic turns to movies (again), and in particular, classic movie bastards, and the ultimate showdown of Tommy’s all-time great movie villains. Darth Vader? Nah. Jason Voorhees? Get a clue! Gen. Jack Ripper? Close, getting warmer.

    Get ready for some great movies-wth-beer conversation and advice as Ken, Garett and Tommy enjoy several years’ worth of Stone Double Bastard Ale.

    You may not be worthy. But at least this beer is.

    And the ultimate showdown between Keyser Söze and Brad Wesley, a High Octane Growler first. All this, plus a Black Sabbath interlude.

  2. From the Cut-Out Bin to the Lumber Yard | High Octane Growler

    Vinyl, vinyl, vinyl. Okay, so there’s a Kansas album as the featured graphic on the homepage. Don’t judge.

    We cover a lot of territory in this discussion follow-up as Maya Kroth, Owen Salerno and Garett Michaels again join Tommy Hough to discuss record “cut-outs,” the lost art of album artwork in the MP3 era, the dressing habits of My Morning Jacket fans, and the geography of Seattle-area record stores.

    Garett also inadvertently calls out Tommy’s age (well, nearly), Tommy inadvertently compares Pearl Jam to Grand Funk Railroad, Maya reveals her feeling about IPAs, and the triumvirate of unjustly “missed” and unfairly overlooked late 90s albums is revealed. All this, and a Marshall Tucker Band moustache reference.

    Late 1990s Album Gems:
    Wilco – Summerteeth (1999)
    Flaming Lips – The Soft Bulletin (1999)
    Built to Spill – Perfect from Now On (1997)

    Beers Enjoyed:
    West Coast Green Flash IPA
    Firestone Walker Union Jack IPA

  4. Before I Get Old: ‘The 27s’ Made Early Exits

    All Things Considered, April 5, 2009

    Eric Segalstad has spent the past few years researching a group of musicians who have been dubbed "The 27s" — rockers who died at that age, either through tragedy, misadventure or excess. The club includes Kurt Cobain, who took his own life 15 years ago Sunday.

    The king of grunge is just one of the more than 20 musicians featured in Segalstad’s book, The 27s: The Greatest Myth of Rock & Roll. It includes artists across all genres — from Jim Morrison to Robert Johnson.
