(Copenhagen, DENMARK) – Two more approvals from Mikkeller…

[1/3 Update: Barrel-Aged Monk’s should ship in February according to Mikkel. Label pic for Two Gypsies can be found here.]

The first is a red wine barrel-aged version of Monk’s Brew (a.k.a. Monk’s Elixir). Here is the description on the base beer via RateBeer:

Monk’s Elixir is a heavy dark Belgian ale inspired by the Trappist monasteries of Rochefort and Westvleteren. The beer style, characterized by its high content of alcohol, distinguishes itself by its dominant yeast character, delicious malt background and balanced hop notes.

Look for Barrel-Aged Monk’s Brew in 330ml bottles next year. In addition to that one, a beer called, “Two Gypsies: Our Side Ale” got draft approval. The beer is a collaboration with fellow gypsy brewery, Stillwater Artisanal Ales. Both breweries were featured in The Atlantic in October for their increasingly common business model of an alternating proprietorship. Two Gypsies was brewed in the U.S.
