Mikkeller Newsletter No 10
This email is a newsletter from Mikkeller - and those we see not every day. Actually it is so long ago Mikkeller last issued a newsletter to all long forgotten, both when it was and what was in it.
But it is certainly not because there is something worth telling about, the explanation is closer to that news about Mikkeller primarily lands on Mikkeller's website mikkeller.dk, or Mikkeller's Fan Club on Facebook Link ...
But now that we have finally taken us together to write a newsletter, and when you then subsequently taking the time to read it, so let's see get on with it.
2009 has been a great year for Mikkel. Year started with the members of the Danish Beer Enthusiasts, chose Mikkeller Denmark's best brewery 2008th Hard to imagine a better start in years.
From here it is otherwise gone into a breathtaking pace. Already the 5th January 2009, when all others were still recovering from New Year more than lumps, Mikkel got up early to present the Beer Geek Brunch Weasel in morning TV. This created mildly much publicity that the coffee in the beer has passed through a Vietnamese weasel-head. The media was quick to baptize Beer Geek Brunch 'shitty beer'.
2009 was also the year when Mikkeller really got started in his Single Hop Series. After the first single hop, Simcoe, came more and here last month, Tomahawk and Amarillo as on 6 and 7 In early 2010 there will be another 3 in the series, and simultaneously released new batches of the previous 7. In this way possible to go down to his beer-pusher and buy 10 different Single Hops at the same time. With 10 different Single Hops on ice, missing one is just a bag of peanuts, as is the evening rescued.
On 16 January kl. 14-17, we hold a Single-Hop event at Ørsted beer bar - more on this soon. Set already your calendar now - it'll be a great event!
Beyond Single Hops and Beer Geek Brunch, has been particularly barrel aged beer has filled much of Mikkeller. And Mikkel has promised that there is more barrel aged beer on the road in 2010. Both new and familiar beer will in the coming year appear in barrel aged versions. Just as it has been Mikkeller's stated goal and purpose of the Single Hop series, giving people the opportunity to taste the different types of hops in isolation, then there is a barrel aged project underway, which in many ways resembles it. The barrel aged project is a way for people to taste one beer and then later taste the same beer, now barrel-aged in different barrels. This way you have an unique opportunity to taste what different barrels can do to the same beer.
It is clear that when Mikkeller in 2009 have managed to send in the vicinity of 40 different beers, it has been necessary to expand on several levels. In addition to running faster than before, Mikkel has also been forced to work less as a schoolteacher. In addition, Thomas Schøn been hired full time for Mikkel. In this way, Mikkel hope to make time for, and possibility to realize the many projects Mikkeller constantly struggle with.
Mikkeller has planned several trips abroad in the coming years. Among other things, the plan is to travel to Greece and brew a beer with the Greek micro-brewery Craft. And it can not be ruled out that 2010 is not even going to bid on a few trips to the United States. Whether it results in even a beer brewed by Three Floyds, or about Mikkeller to brew with a very different American brewer, it is still too early to say anything about. Another European collaboration are also planned for 2010.
Although it is early in the process, and although there will be a few months before it becomes possible to taste it, so we will now reveal what is enough to go and become one of the year's wildest new beer.
Mikkeller is brewing a beer with a theoretical IBU of 1000! There will be an 'Out of This World' beer at 12.2% alcohol. It is expected to begin shipping in February.
It has always been Mikkeller's intention to seek and explore the boundaries of what beer is and what beer can be. How will it continue in 2010.
And as the final feature of this now very long newsletter, it's worth mentioning that 2010 starts with Mikkeller Denmark sets a new record. Until 2009 was Denmark's strongest beer Black, with its 17.5% alcohol gave all the other rear wheel on the alcohol scale. But now there is a new player on the pitch, it's called Big Worst, and is in its initial 17.6% alcohol, the new number one. New batch which will hopefully even higher in alcohol% is already under way. I wonder if Mikkel's shoulders are broad enough both to wear a gold and silver medals.
As in the past year, it will in future be very careful with newsletters from Mikkel. Instead, we encourage everyone to join Mikkeller Fan Club on Facebook that will be used more frequently in future. Registration can be made here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=20664933512
Furthermore we would like to invite everyone to visit Mikkel Jewelers website periodically.
Thanks for a "shitty" beautiful year and see you in 2010.
Happy new year!
Mikkeller
