Randall Tap Takeover at The Brass Tap
So what’s a Randall? It’s a double-chamber filter you connect to a tap of your favorite beer and fill with flavor-enhancing ingredients. Every week, The Brass Tap at Mesa Riverview “Randalls” a selected beer, but at 6 p.m. today the craft beer bar is hosting Arizona’s first Randall Tap Takeover with an incredible 10 Randalls in action. Enjoy Four Peaks Hopknot IPA infused with honeycomb and habanero, SanTan Mr. Pineapple with rum-soaked cherries and coconut, Borderlands Noche Dulce vanilla porter with Whoppers (the candy, not the burgers), and seven other creative concoctions (see list).
