Randall or Brooklyn for a Friday

Since Philly is a great beer town it's no surprise that multiple events tend to bump up against one another  The dilemma of going here or there and doing this or that is bound to happen.  Such is situation this weekend. It starts Friday with Randall @ TJ's or a taste of Brooklyn @ The Grey Lodge.

Randall 3.0

Sam with original Randall
















The new and improved Randall the Enamel Animal (3.0 version) has been unleashed upon the world.  From the beer stained lab of creative brew genius Sam Calagione Randall the, "organoleptic hop transducer module" has been redesigned.  The new two chamber system was created to allow for a less foamy pour.  While it's common to use whole flower hops with Randall for an over the top hop infused beer, some bartending visionaries are already experimenting with more unique blendings.  A variety of fruit, spices and herbs can be added to the chamber to create endless flavor combinations.  I'm thinking Raison D'Etre with bourbon soaked raisins.

TJ's Restaurant & Drinkery
On Friday see Randall work its blending magic at TJ's Restaurant and DrinkeryDogfish Head Chateau Jiahu gets Randallized with Chinese 5 Spice. Once you've had your Randall fix the rest of the impressive TJ draft list is at your disposal. Randall is unleashed at 4pm.
