Dock Street Brewery is all set to debut "Dock Street Beer Ain't Nothing to Funk With," its Wu-Tang Clan-infused beer whose announcement made headlines this past summer.

Aged for six months in red wine barrels to the sweet sounds of Wu Tang Clan on repeat via special headphones, "Funk" will see a release at Dock Street on Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 5 p.m. It will be available on tap and in 12-ounce bottles, though there is a two-bottle limit per customer. Growler fills, unfortunately, are not allowed.

The launch event will also feature Wu-Tang-inspired beats from DJ Matthew Law, along with a screening of Shaolin and Wu Tang, the 1980s kung fu flick from which Wu-Tang Clan takes its name.

Following its release, Dock Street's "Funk" will be available only at the West Philadelphia brewpub and online (once that service launches), while supplies last.

The beer is a golden saison that weighs in at 6.7 percent ABV. Fermented using wild yeast strains, the beer is described by Dock Street as having a "new level of tart and funk." Though, how much of that comes from the 24/7 Wu-Tang Clan aging process is up to you.

Though, maybe not for long. As Dock Street says: "Wu-Tang Clan may be forever, but this beer ain't."
