Randy also teaches beer-style courses at the Siebel Institute of Technology, a technical school located in Chicago that focuses on the science of brewing.   One of his most notable clients is Three Floyds Brewing, a small brewery in Northern Indiana which has a nationwide cult following. His artwork has been used on most of their bottled lineup including Dreadnaught Imperial IPA which features a playful portrait of a British officer in a red coat drinking a mug of IPA while a possible Indian assassin with a rifle startles him from behind.

Three Floyds is well known for massive and delicious flavors in their beer. Dreadnaught is a big, juicy 9.5% ABV Imperial IPA bursting with pineapple, gummy bear, mango, and passion fruit from the mighty hop additions, and enough caramel malt character to help balance the 100 IBU’s. This Imperial version of the India Pale Ale is world-class. creating a medley
