Nov. 14: Wet Hop Rodeo at Johnny Brenda's

And the award for the most unintentionally pornish title for a beer event goes to Johnny Brenda's (1201 N. Frankford Ave.), who next Saturday will host the Wet Hop Rodeo, featuring eight wet-hopped beers on tap, including choices from several national breweries (a first for the fervently local bar). Wet-hopping, in layman's terms, translates to beers that are brewed with super-fresh, just-picked hops, as opposed to those brewed with hops that have been dried out for storage. This translates to bold, unapologetic hoppy flavor. (As a point of reference, think what it'd be like to eat fresh garlic right out of the ground, as opposed to a bulb that's been air-cured. You did read our feature on garlic guru Tom Culton, right?)
Anywho, since the annual hop harvest is typically in the beginning of the fall, this is an ace opportunity to check out the wet-hopped offerings. Here's what JB's will be rocking from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Nov. 14:
- Victory Harvest Pils
- Victory Harvest Ale
- Weyerbacher Harvest Ale
- Philadelphia Brewing Company Harvest from the Hood
- Manayunk Brewing Hop Harvest
- Port Brewing High Tide
- Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale
- Rogue Wet Hop Ale
- A firkin of wet-hopped ale from Iron Hill
