"The concept was that that motherfucker challenged me to a barbecue-off," says Adam Ritter, co-owner of The Sidecar (2201 Christian St., 215-732-3429), when asked about the origins of tonight's grand smoke-off against Legacy Brewing Co. brewer Scott Baver. "He likes to get his barbecue on and I like to get my barbecue on."
Starting at 5 p.m. tonight, the boys will settle their meaty score, cranking out pulled pork and brisket in smokers they're setting up right on the sidewalk on the corner of 22nd and Christian. The winner will be determined by a distinguished panel of judges: Suzanne "Beer Lass" Woods, Foobooz's Kirsten Henri and yours truly. There'll be plenty of food for attendees, too.
Ritter will be piping blues through the bar to set the low 'n' slow mood, and Baver's brought in eight Legacy/Reading beers to pour on tap:
- Reading Premium
- Reading Oktoberfest
- Cask-conditioned Hedonism Ale (on a hand-pump)
- Dear Abbey Dubbel
- Brown Aled Girl
- Euphoria Ale
- Hoptimus Prime ("The last sixtel as we know it," says Ritter — Legacy has since changed the recipe)
- Midnight Wit
Ritter, a diehard Phils fan if we ever met one, promises that the hardcore competition portion of the evening will wrap up prior to the first pitch of Game 2. There will be drink specials for the game.
See you there!
