The Answer Brewpub in Richmond, VA has what they call the "Andall" series. These are randallized beers. The randall process has been confirmed by An. As such, they are unrateable here.

All "Andall" beers we have identified have been marked as such and have been marked as unrateable.

Those that have rated these beers have been messaged. The ratings will remain active for approximately 24 hours, just in case I missed anyone or made a mistake in messaging people their ratings.

No fault to the raters. A vast majority of these ratings came from crowlers. The crowler labels do not indicate they are from the Andall series.

When you are at the brewpub, the Andall beers are listed on a separate section of the beer list (at least the few times I’ve been there). You should DEFINITELY try the Andall beers. They are pretty great. But try to be careful to note which section of the beer list a beer is on when you are picking up crowlers.

Thanks!

Thank you for making the whole site aware of this issue from a brewery that no one outside of Richmond has ever heard of.

To add a note. I have learned from good sources that the beers "Andall’d" are not even brewed at the Answer. Instead they are bulk keg purchases such as Ten Fidy that have adjucts added and are then renamed.

That hadn’t even occurred to me, but knowing the guys there this is completely plausible.

I understand that many of the andall beers were entered by raters in Michigan. Which is why Andy posted this not just in the mid atlantic forum. But by all means, carry on with your know-it-all dismissiveness.

Who is Andy?

But yes, DCLawyer is correct. I was going for maximum visibility. In fact, literally zero of the aforementioned ratings are from users anywhere in Virginia.

And I’d argue that The Answer is well known outside of Virginia, at least in the Mid-Atlantic region. It’s part of the Mekong empire, frequently named one of the best bars in Virginia. Travlers will go there (Mekong and The Answer Brewpub next door) even if they have time for just a few stops. It’s one of the better known places in a major city on the I-64 and I-95 corridors. Household name? No. Known outside of Richmond? Absolutely.

I used to have a Randall guitar amp, 1979. Was pretty nice.

Thanks for helping to clean up the mess!
