Especially during times of economic recession,
restructuring & staff cuts, when there seems to be no
light at the end of the tunnel, having a beer can lighten
your heart and restore hope!

The story of Mikkeller is the story of two homebrewers that in a few
years went from hobby brewing in the kitchen to national and
international recognition.
Since the summer of 2007, Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, has run Mikkeller on
his own. Mikkel is a 'gipsy-brewer', who brews at different
breweries in Denmark, around Europe and the United States.
Item No: DE-01
All Others Pale
500ml
Price (incl. tax): ¥1,128
5% Alc.
All Others Pale - as in ‘All
Others Pale By Comparison’ - is our cheeky take on an American
tradition, but, naturally, with a Danish touch. It is a
well-balanced, light-bodied thirst quencher, perfect after a hard
day’s work or on hot summer days... but loads of fresh green hops
and a subtle malty background makes this pale ale the refreshing
choice year ‘round!
Ingredients: Water, malt (maris ottar pale, munich, carapils and
caramunich), flaked oats, hops (simcoe, centennial, amarillo and
nugget) and ale yeast.

Jackie Brown
660ml
Price (incl. tax): ¥1,128
6.0% Alc.
Had it been
Quentin Tarantinos heroine Jackie Brown, she would probably have
said, "Shut your raggedy ass up," and that would have been that.
But this is Mikkeller's Jackie Brown and it’s somewhat more mild
mannered. In fact, this beautiful, brown beer’s
characteristically roasted malt taste nearly ends like chocolate on
the tongue. And then it wouldn’t be a Mikkeller beer if it
wasn’t well hopped. Here the green gold makes an otherwise
dark beer surprisingly fresh and easy to drink.
Ingredients: Water, malt (pale, munich, cara-pils, cara-crystal,
brown and chocolate), flaked oats, hops (nugget, simcoe and
centennial) and ale yeast.
A Danish
pilsner is typically characterized by an alcohol content of 4.6%
vol., piss-yellow color and a sexless, slightly bitter taste.
But it doesn’t have to be like this…! Draft Bear is Mikkeller's
interpretation of a "pilsner," heavyweight-style. With its
powerful hop notes, high alcohol content and lovely golden
appearance, the only reference to the pilsner style is the clean
taste of the lager yeast.
Ingredients: Water, malts (pils, carapils and amber), light candy
sugar, hops (amarillo and cascade) and lager yeast.
Mikkeller has
travelled to Belgium, more precisely on a visit to the
anti-commercial, talented Trappist monks. 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.
Ingredients: Water, malts (pils and pale), candy syrup, brown sugar,
hops (northern brewer, hallertauer and styrian goldings) and ale
yeast
Black Hole
375ml
Price (incl. tax): ¥1,375
13.0% Alc.
Finally……!
Black Hole is what Mikkeller is all about. Daring, vulgar and
extreme. From the very beginning Mikkeller's goal has been to push
the limit and with this warming, intense imperial stout, a new
chapter in the Danish beer history has been written. The high
bitterness from the hops and the sweetness from the malt and
alcohol, creates a good balance which makes Black Hole an explosion
of nuances, but also leaves a feeling of a perfect and complex beer
– in the heavyweight category.
Ingredients: Water, malt, roasted barley, flaked oats, dark
cassanade, honey, hops, coffee, vanilla and ale yeast.
Big Worse is
the long awaited big brother of the small test brew Big Bad Barley
Wine. The idea behind Big Worse is still to make a simple yet
heavy barley wine – just like its smaller brother. But this
time both the alcohol and bitterness has been pumped up! Big
Worse is both thick and sweet and is the perfect beer for desserts.
Enjoy it now or keep it for many years. Best stored dark and
at cellar temperature.
Ingredients: Water, malt (pils and caramunich), candy sugar, hops
(nugget, cascade and centennial) and ale yeast.
Mikkeller's
first collaboration brew. Brewed together with our good
friends from Westflandern – Carlo, Urbain and Phil from De Struise
Brouwers. The beer was created in the spring of 2007 to create
a symbol of our close relationship. We choose to cross a
heavily hopped Mikkeller beer with a strong blonde – Struise style.
From this came the hoppiest beer brewed in Belgium!!! Struise
Mikkeller (Elliot Brew) was chosen by Ratebeer.com to be the second
beer of their Worldwide Master Series!
Ingredients: Water, malt, hops, candy sugar, ale yeast and spices.
This imperial
Oatmeal stout is brewed with one of the world’s most expensive
coffees, made from droppings of weasel-like civet cats. The
fussy Southeast Asian animals only eat the best and ripest coffee
berries. Enzymes in their digestive system help to break down
the bean. Workers collect the bean-containing droppings for
Civet or Weasel Coffee. The exceedingly rare Civet Coffee has
a strong taste and an even stronger aroma.
Ingredients: Water, malts, hops, yeast and Vietnamese ca phe chon
coffee.
Breakfast is
the most important meal of the day, many say, and if you are a beer
geek there is no better way to start the day than with a powerful,
complex morning stout. The unique mix of oats and coffee gives
this beer large body and power, while the coffee, at the same time,
creates a nice balance.
Ingredients: Water, malt (pils, oat, smoked, caramunich, brown, pale
chocolate and chocolate), roasted barley, flaked oats, hops
(centennial and cascade), ale yeast and gourmet coffee.
A love of
American microbrews is the inspiration behind this IPA, brewed with
generous amounts of aromatic, American hops, which provide the
significant freshness and bitterness with lots of citrus notes.
The taste sensations are nicely balanced by the sweetness from the
caramel malt.
Ingredients: Water, malt (pilsner, munich and caramunich), flaked
oats, hops (chinook, cascade and amarillo) and ale yeast.
The first
Christmas porter from Mikkeller. A light, spiced porter with
fine malt background and lovely hop aroma and flavor. The
label is designed as a ‘To From’ card – fill in the names and put
the bottle it under the Christmas tree. The perfect give away
gift for the lazy man/woman…!
Ingredients: Water, malt (pale, cara-crystal, pale chocolate and
chocolate), flaked oats, dark cassonade, hops (centennial and
cascade) and yeast.
