A West Philadelphia brewery named Dock Street is currently aging their golden saison with the help of some legendary hip-hop tunes -- the music of the Wu-Tang Clan, to be exact, which will be bumping next to the beer nonstop for the next six months.
"I listen to music every day in the brewery and I've wanted to do a series of beers based on the music I like," head brewer Vince Desrosiers says. "It's hardly an original thought but my musical taste is all over the place and Wu-Tang seemed like a great place to start."
Aptly dubbed "Ain't Nuthin' to Funk With," Desrosiers believes the Wu-Tang injection may have notable effects on the finished product.
"It started as a joke," Desrosiers says, "and then we wondered if the bass would cause enough vibration to move the yeast around and create some different flavors during fermentation."
"Ain't Nuthin' to Funk With" should be available sometime later this year. His next project? Aging a beer while blasting tunes from Run The Jewels; though if you ask us, a little Freeway or Meek Mill would be more appropriate given the location.
