Nodding Head co-owner Curt Decker is a quick wit, as anyone who has been barbed by him will attest (5 minutes later, when they figure out they've been zinged). His contrarian Beer Week event Don't Meet the Brewer will feature Nodding Head brewer Gordon Grubb and Ric Hoffman from Delaware's Stewart's Brewing Company. It's scheduled for Tue., March 10. Decker's wry tendencies must be contagious at the brewpub. "We're hoping no one will want to talk to us," says Grubb. "We don't want to answer their dorky questions, anyway." Joking? Who knows.
Grubb will debut his first-ever barrel-aged beer at the event, Da Phunk. The original beer, called The Phunk, was an amber ale fermented with multiple yeast strains, including the souring brettanomyces. After fermentation, it was transferred to a Chaddsford Winery red wine barrel and aged there for seven months. So what's Da Phunk taste like?
"It's sour, complex, lots of brett, a little oak and red wine," says Grubb. "It's dry and, well, FUNKY!" He added that the beer is less like a lambic and closer to an oude brune, but amber-red colored. The beer will be sold, along with some Stewart's brews, by the glass at Don't Meet the Brewer.
Don't Meet the Brewer, Tue., March 10, 6 p.m., Nodding Head Brewery, 1516 Sansom St., 2nd Fl., 215-569-9525.
