  1. Others | High Octane Growler

    Reasonable Midwesterners

    Time to scratch your head and try to remember how your old college fight song goes, as Tommy welcomes two of Portland’s finest relocated midwesterners for this edition of High Octane Growler, financial officer Scott Slonaker and media consultant Fred Tank, now forever known as The Others, and no doubt lurking near a coffee shop or gluten-free sustainable grocery store near you.

    The collegiate blue book. Kids today have no idea. Together this dangerous trio with common midwestern backgrounds step out of the box to do a bit of wordsmithing and sharpen a few pencils, and that’s before the beer even pours. And it’s not Hudepohl Gold (though we’d be happy to have the Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. on board as a sponsor)…

  2. Photographer Henry Diltz | High Octane Growler

    Legendary Rock Photographer Henry Diltz

    This week we’re featuring another take out of Tommy’s FM 94/9 archives, this one with Tommy’s former morning radio partner, Mike Hansen. Their 2009 interview with rock photographer Henry Diltz came on the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, as well as the opening of Diltz’s new Morrison Hotel photo gallery location in Del Mar.

    Sadly, while the original Morrison Hotel location on Prospect Street in La Jolla was open for years, the poor economy wound up closing the new Del Mar location at the Flower Hill shopping center barely a year after it was opened. However, the New York Morrison Hotel location remains open, located at 124 Prince St. in Soho…

  3. Base Camp S’More Stout | High Octane Growler

    A Base Camp for Brewing Operations

    We get a great stout on in this edition of High Octane Growler with the guys from Portland, Oregon’s Base Camp Brewing: Brewmaster and Owner Justin Fey and Marketing Manager Joseph Dallas.

    One of Portland’s newest craft brewers with a taproom only open since the fall, Base Camp has already staked out a claim in Portland’s crowded craft beer scene by setting up shop, or camp, in the thick of Southeast Portland’s thirsty environs…

  4. Ken Scott Interview | High Octane Growler

    Legendary Producer and Engineer Ken Scott

    In 2009, EMI Records released the first comprehensive re-issue of The Beatles’ catalogue since they were first made available on CD in 1987 and 1988.

    The original British albums were remastered and re-released in new cardboard sleeves with slightly expanded cover art, and the CDs at the time were said to be the new baseline standard for Beatles sonic quality…

  5. Meet Angry Bob | High Octane Growler

    Angry Bob is a little bit like Muhammad. We can’t show his face. But if you could see his face, he would likely have veins popping out of his head in the midst of yelling at a lawnmower, or perhaps waving a large marital aid over his head. That’s how we like to think of him.

    We mentioned early on neither Mitt Romney or Fox News would approve of High Octane Growler. And if Glenn Beck’s planned Glenbeckistan nanny state-free penal colony in disguise really takes off in Idaho, it’s going to be a major blow for weird, goofball American diversity if we lose all the Angry Bobs to it.

  6. The Aggressive Freshness of Enjoy By IPA | High Octane Growler

    Some beer is not meant to be stared at or collected or left in the back of your refrigerator, waiting for a holiday or your favorite sports team to win something. Some beer is made to be enjoyed – immediately. http://highoctanegrowler.com/2013/01/aggressive-freshness-enjoy-by-ipa/

  7. Art Versus Commerce | High Octane Growler

    The virtues of craft beer take a back seat in this music roundtable edition of High Octane Growler as IPA-averse expatriate writer Maya Kroth, promotions and marketing professional Owen Salerno, and “returning champion” Garett Michaels join host Tommy Hough in a conversation guaranteed to split opinions and upset Carly Rae Jepsen fans. http://highoctanegrowler.com/2013/01/art-versus-commerce/

  8. Pull the String! | High Octane Growler

    Double Bastard Ale Be Thy Name

    We pick up this week’s edition of High Octane Growler with the Stone Brewing Co.’s Ken Wright, returning champion Garett Michaels and founder and host Tommy Hough still enjoying copious amounts of Stone Double Bastard Ale, straight from Ken’s private beer cellar, where the beer had been quietly aging (and perhaps deserved a better fate than this show).

    The gang was rapidly plowing through a 2007 vintage Stone Double Bastard Ale, and in this edition the cap will be popped on a 2008 bomber, so Ken, thank you for your generous and heartfelt donation of fine Stone Double Bastard Ale to the cause.

    You have the gratitude of our hangovers and Tommy’s blown voice. http://highoctanegrowler.com/2012/12/pull-the-string/

  9. 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.

  10. 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
