Randall the Enamel Animal

Say what? Randall the Enamal Animal? Sounds like a nickname for a professional wrestler. Well in the beer world, this is simply known as the Randall. It is actually a cool device Sam Calagione from Dogfish Head came up with when he wanted to pimp up his 120 minute IPA with fresh hops. What does it do exactly?  Well, simply put, the double-chamber filter is filled with flavor-enhancing ingredients. The Randall was originally designed to extract the aromatic oils from fresh hops. Over the years, the Randall has taken on a life of it's own using ingredients such as pumpkin seeds, jalapenos and butterfingers.

This past Thursday, Two Stones Pub hosted a one of a kind event. They called it DFH@2SP . Sam Calagione and his guys joined 2SP to hang out with a full house of Dodfish Head and craft beer fans.

The taps were filled with over 12 DFH brews plus a special Randall vs Randall. DFH created their unique Randall featuring Palo Santo with chocolate vodka soaked cherries and vanilla beans. In 2SP's corner was Midas Touch over sage, ginger and cranberries. And the Beer Belt goes to...... Two Stones Pub.
