    OMT here, sort of a big deal but if you don't know who I am, that's fine. You probably don't know who Michael Jackson is either but he was the best singer, best moonwalker (Neil Armstrong is overrated), and best beer ticker of all time (fonefan on RB-InBev is good but MJ is better). A true man of the rénaissance. He was like the Michael Jordan of Michael Jacksons.

    Anyway, just realized I have neither randalled nor seen anyone randall anything through anything in a long time. I think that dontdrinkbeer guy randalled a barleywine through a Big Mac a few months ago but that dude is a different level of nuts. Back in my day when you were probably in diapers or at least had mere triple-digit ticks, we used to randall amber ales through watermelons, BCS or CBS or BBCS or BCBS or even BCBCS through coffee beans, pumpkin beers through old jack-o-lanterns, saisons through horse blankets, even Dogfish Head IPAs through actual hops! Randalling was a huge part of everyone's lives. But I feel like it's a lost art these days. So the big question I have for NMT is: DO YOUS STILL RANDALL? If so, what is the craziest randalling you've done?

    Wow, the beer scene really has changed. Eight years ago this would've been completely normal conversation.

    I once killed a man and randalled a Bud Lite through his still warm carotid artery.

    Worst. Hangover. Ever.

    Cheers

    We filled a watermelon with gin once and carried it down the Grand Canyon, but the only Randall I get down with is Tony.

    And Chelsea Randall in the 10th grade. Man...we Randall'd allllll the time.

    If you don't know what a Randall is, you probably should sit this one out. Or, dive in and make shit up. Either way works.

    Ok, seems like nobody even knows what this is so let me educate you all with a timeline of randalling.

    2002 - Sam Calagione: "Hey guys I just invented randalling and it's sick, you should totally try it. You just pour beer through something and it picks up the flavor of that thing."
    2007 - Michael Jackson: "Hey guys I'm on my deathbed but I wanted to remind you about randalling, it's awesome and you should do it like every day."
    2008-2013 - Everyone randalls everything through everything all the time and it's amazing. Nothing bad happens in the world because everyone is just randalling nonstop.
    2013 - Nick D: "Hey everyone I'm gonna take it easy for a few years and maybe not even tick as much as I have been or even post on BA so much, but you'll keep randalling all the time, right?" Everyone: "Yeah man randalling is life #RiL"
    2016 - NBC family drama series "This Is Us" premiers with a major character named Randall in honor of randalling
    2017 - Donald Trump: "I'm president now I guess so read my lips: NO MORE RANDALLING" Everyone: forgets about randalling
    2019 - Dontdrinkbeer: "I'm gonna randall barleywine through a big mac. This will be the randall that kills randalling once and for all."
    2020 - People on BA: "Urrr what's randalling? I once dated a girl named Randall LOL"
    2021 - The comeback?

    Was super bored one night and had a few old cans of Magic Hat #9. Randall’d it with muddled mint, lime, and salt. Shit was actually really good, made #9 wayyyyy better

    ACTUAL SERIOUS ANSWER HERE. THOSE INCLINED TO SHENANIGANS, PLEASE SKIP THIS POST.

    A Randall was a device developed by Sam Calagione (sp?) of Dogfish Head. It was placed in the stream between keg and tap. It has 2 chambers, one of which was filled with hops (originally), the let settle in the second chamber before serving. The OG one was named Randall The Enamel Animal (thus the name). Think of it as way to dry hop a beer right at the tap.

    HOWEVER! It did not take long for folks to realize that things besides hops could be stuffed into Randall.....

    The trend lasted a few years, and slid away. Then NEIPAs came along and killed all the dinosaurs.


    Shit, somebody posted whilst I was typing. Shoulda just pee'ed my pants.

    Serious question - is there anything that you cannot stuff into Randall? Asking for a friend.

    Have you really ever "Randalled" a Saison through a horse blanket? If you have, the next step would be to "Randall" a Brett Beer through a pile of horse shit.
