Philly Brewery Making Beer Aged with Wu-Tang Clan Songs

A Philly brewery is making a beer inspired by the "slums of Shaolin."

Dock Street Brewing Company — not to be confused with the Stapleton music venue Dock Street — will brew a beer inspired by the Wu-Tang Clan and "aged with their music."

So, it's official. We are aging a beer with Wu Tang. @zoowithroy @meechone @cranekicker spotify playing 24/7 pic.twitter.com/4Crj0K1QV4

The gold saison beer, with flavors of spicy pineapple and orange-tart, called "Dock Street Beer Ain't Nuthin' to Funk With" will age for six months in a barrel with Wu-Tang Clan's music streaming from Spotify next to it, Philadelphia Magazine reported.

"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 told the magazine. "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."

While Desrosiers said playing the Staten Island hip-hop groups songs next to the beer originally started as joke, he wondered if the bass would alter the brewing process.

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

Desrosiers said his next beer will be inspired by Run the Jewels but if he decides to make more Wu-Tang beers here's some potential names: Hops Rule Everything Around Me, RZAle, Killer BeeRs, As Hopped as Wu-Tang Get, Can It Be All so Stout.
