2020 Naperville Ale Fest - Winter Edition Infusion Lounge

We are excited to announce the return of the Infusion Lounge at the Naperville Ale Fest – Winter Edition! The lounge will feature three of our partner breweries (Two Brothers Artisan Ales and 2 Fools Cider) each pouring a dessert-themed recipe through a Randall.

What’s a Randall? Glad you asked.

Originally created by the craft beer innovators at Dogfish Head Brewery, a Randall is an organoleptic hop transducer module… which is a fancy way of saying it’s a device that infuses flavor into beer. The beer flows through the Randall on its way from the keg to the tap, pulling flavors out of the ingredients in its path. Randalls run beer through fresh hops, coffee, strawberries, chocolate – anything really, making it a fantastic way to participate in one of our favorite parts of craft beer: the experimentation. It’s a way to take something great, and make it even better.

Two Brothers Artisan Ales – Prairie Path – Golden Ale
Rosemary & Applewood chips

Crafted to remove Gluten but not flavor, it has a light color and a complex malt character that is paired with Saaz and Golding hops.  

2 Fools Cider – Rose – Cider
Cucumber, strawberry, and mint

Modern fruit style cider with a slight sweetness, easy drinking with a nice balance of tart and sweet, a hint of citrus, fresh apple, and a slight tartness from the blueberry.
