Say "beer" to college students and the first things that come to mind are red cups of cheap swill and keg stands. But Philly is no ordinary college town, so ordinary beer just won't do. Rosemarie Certo, owner of Dock Street, will advance the palates of college kids when she leads a tasting of three of her beers this Thursday, Oct. 22 at Christian Association House at the University of Pennsylvania (3451 Walnut St.).
In two sessions (6:30 and 8 p.m.), Certo will lay out the fundamentals of Dock Street�s Rye IPA, the historic Man Full of Trouble Porter and the sorghum-brewed Sudan Grass ale. Tasters will learn how to properly pour each beer (rather than shotgun it) and how to take note of a brew�s appearance instead of idly chugging it. Then tasters will actually sample the beer, learning how to identify malty, hoppy, full-bodied, dry or sweet characteristics.
Dock Street has teamed up with Reverend Beverly Dale, of the CA's Passion Works sexuality ministry, to host the tasting. Does this mean the kids lured in with free beer will be hoodwinked into listening to a sermon? No. "This is more like a social, and [Reverend Dale] will talk about her mission,� says Certo.� That mission includes cultivating positive body image, self-respect and women�s rights, issues that Certo feels are diminished when young people and beer are combined. "We�re putting [these issues] in a social context,� she says.
Thu., Oct. 22, 6:30 & 8 p.m., free, CA House at the University of Pennsylvania, 3451 Walnut St., dockstreetbeer.com.
Our address is 118 S. 37th Street, and this event is open to students only (ID required). 21 ID to drink. Thanks Fran de la Torre Program Coordinator Christian Association
