You Can Soon Indulge In Beer Inspired By And Aged To The Tune Of Wu-Tang

There's a new beer in the works from Philly-based brewing company Dock Street that's getting a very special Wu-Tang twist. Dock Street is currently developing a Shaolin-inspired brew, that is aged six months to the tune of Wu classics...literally. Their maturing process actually involves blasting Wu-Tang through the barrels and hoping that the rugged and raw reverberations manifest in some hoppy alchemy that busts through the wood and into the beverage, which will apparently be a spicy pineapple, orange tart type of drink, appropriately titled "Wu-Tang Ain't Nothing To Funk With." Dock Street chief Vince Desrosiers explained his conquest to Philly Mag:

"It started as a joke, and then we wondered if the bass would cause enough vibration to move the yeast around and create some different flavours during fermentation.”

But even with the brew still a ways out from completion, Desrosiers has a plot to extend the theory to a full blown musical series of hip-hop inspired drank, with Run The Jewels on deck for their next concoction. We'll be patiently waiting for those to come, but in the meantime, you can scope out the Philly-bred brewery by hitting the link below.
