Randall the Enamel Animal: At-Tap Enhoppinating

Toolmonger discusses Dogfish Head’s “Randall the Enamel Animal,” a device that adds hops aroma to a beer right as it’s pulled:

Invented by Delaware “craft brewer” Dogfish Head, this tool – technically known as a “organoleptic hop transducer module” — connects to the keg and filters the beer through a half-pound of hops, intensely infusing the beer with hops flavor and aroma just before it’s dispensed.  According to Dogfish, higher-alcohol beers work best since the alcohol dissolves more of the oils from the hops as the beer passes through the filter.
