Mikkeller rep, Jacob Gram Alsing, recently joined the Shelton Brothers podcast to chat about what is new for the so-called ‘gypsy’ brewer.
Mikkeller’s most recent venture is Mikkeller Spirits and Alsing says that those may start coming to the States at some point. Conveniently, Shelton Brothers (Mikkeller’s beer importer) can also import liquor which it hasn’t done yet.
Mikkeller is also hoping to partner with a U.S. contract brewer in the future that would enable it to expand production while potentially offering products in cans for the first time.
We have uploaded 23 beer labels from Mikkeller in recent days and approximately 50 labels in the past six months. You can view the most recent 20 label on the Mikkeller page.
Some new/upcoming beers (out of that 50) that Alsing mentioned include Betelgeuze, Spontancherry and Aarh Hvad?! (pronounced similarly to and based on Orval). The beer name is based on the popular fight-inducing phrase, “Oh yeah?!”
Mikkeller will also be part of The Festival (Shelton Brothers is a BeerPulse supporter) which takes place in Portland, Maine, this weekend. Tickets are still available.
