Randall Jr Makes Beer Taste…Different
Tired of your Coors Light tasting like fermented horse piss but don’t want to actually, you know, buy better beer? You are in luck with this single-serving beer infuser from Dogfish Head Brewery.
Dubbed the Randall Jr, this device is a hand-held version of the brewery’s Randall The Enamel Animal infuser. They both work essentially like a tea bag does. You simply place whatever flavored item you want—vanilla beans, espresso beans, mint leaves, pepper corns, candy corns—into a basket suspended from the side of the cup, fill it with your favorite beer, and set it in the fridge for ten minutes. This allows the alcohol to leech flavors from the ingredients into the beer, creating a custom concoction. You can, of course, use this with any beer—not just swill—so if you’ve ever wanted to try a chocolate Guinness, orange and strawberry Blue Moon, or wasabi Asahi, now you can.
The Randall Jr retails for $20 on the Dogfish Head website and are available now. You’ll have to buy two of course, so as to avoid a lag between first beer and second.

Immort Ale
Availability: Limited
Vast in character, luscious & complex.We started brewing Immort Ale at our brewpub in 1995 and began bottling it in 1997. For this beer, we use maple syrup from Red Brook Farm - Sam’s family farm in Western Massachusetts, peat-smoked barley, juniper berries, and vanilla.
Immort is fermented with a blend of English & Belgian yeasts, thenaged in the big oak tanks at the brewery.
The sweet and earthy flavors meld magnificently in the Immort Ale. But, be warned the abv is 11%, so after 1 or 2 you may start feeling immortal (even though we promise you won’t be).
Immort Ale is released each and every spring (after the sap starts flowing).
Has anyone tried this before? It sounds great.
