Randall Me This<br />

IMAGINE, IF YOU WILL, a canister on the draft line, sitting<br />
somewhere between the keg and the tap. Now imagine you’ve<br />
ordered a beer, perhaps a rich stout. Imagine this beautifully malty<br />
beer getting pushed through the canister before it gets to your pint<br />
glass but the canister is filled with coffee beans. Or cocoa nibs. Or<br />
vanilla bean pods. Imagine that the flavor of your beer has been<br />
altered ever so slightly to include these flavors. This is a Randall.<br />
Or, to use the contraption’s full and proper name, Randall The<br />
Enamel Animal. This little beer infusion device was invented more<br />
than a decade ago by Delaware’s Dogfish Head Brewery in order<br />
to increase the flavor of hops in its IPA for a beer competition. It<br />
has since become a favorite experiment of taproom jockeys across<br />
the world.<br />
Seattle, as it turns out, has some of the best. Thor at Reuben’s<br />
Brews is well-known as the leading expert in all things Randall,<br />
earning a decent-sized following from his beer infusions. Fremont<br />
always has a Randall or two in play, with combinations like saison<br />
Randalled through lemongrass, or an imperial stout Randalled<br />
through coffee beans.<br />
This phenomenon isn’t limited to just breweries—beer bars<br />
and bottle shops are getting in on the action. Pine Box has several<br />
events with a long row of Randalls taking center stage. The Twelve<br />
Randalls of Xmas, which passes an assortment of beers through<br />
holiday-themed ingredients—such as a Belgian ale pushed through<br />
rum-soaked currants—is one of Pine Box’s biggest events. If you’re<br />
the curious sort, a beer infusion device might suit your tastes.<br />
Want to give a Randall a go? Here are some places to pull up a bar stool<br />
and ask, “What do you have on Randall?”<br />
