This beer will be a first for me; the first time I’ve reviewed the same beer twice. My first Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast review was in April of 2009, almost a year later and I want to see if it is just as good, better, or worse as it was last year. I love my coffee and I can very particular about it beer. I don’t like the astringency I find in a lot of coffee beers, but a well done coffee stout can be heaven for me.
I don’t know Mikkeller does it, but every beer that I’ve had from this “nomadic” brewer has been world class. When I saw this on the Shelf at the Liquor Outlet in Boonton NJ, I had to get it – it was a cranberry lambic and from Mikkeller. I didn’t see how I could go wrong.
Our first Simply Beer Club on November 7th was a huge success. We tasted through a half dozen+ stouts and had a blast discussing the beer in a fun and very educational forum.
This week we switched things up a bit and focused on a Brewer rather then a particular style of beer. For this Beer Brawl, we choose to focus on Mikkeller beers. Mikkel Borg Bjergsø is a ‘gipsy-brewer’, who brews at different breweries in Denmark, Norway, Germany and the United States. Each beer that is made is unique and may only be a one time limited release.
