Mikkeller Arrives in the UK

July 10, 2008 - PRLog -- BEERmerchants.com, today introduced the entire range of one of the most sought after brewers beers, Mikkeller.

Phil Lowry, long time fan of Mikkeller beers since an early chance meeting in Belgium in 2005 has secured a remarkable selection of their great beers made available through the excellent beer website BEERmerchants.com, a real coup for all beers lovers considering the exclusivity and limited availability. This opportunity to purchase the entire range of Mikkeller beers in one go has never been possible before in the UK.

Danish Beer Enthusiasts’ Members which total more than 11000, who awarded awarded Mikkeller the best Danish brewery, while it was the international beer website RateBeer.com that placed Mikkeller among the absolute world elite on the yearly RateBeer Best list from January 2007.

Mikkeller history, the rise, the story. The story of Mikkeller is the story of two young homebrewers, who in a few years went from hobby brewing at home in the kitchen to national and international recognition. Already in Mikkellers first year as a brewery (2006), the two creators, Mikkel Borg Bjergsø and Kristian Klarup Keller, were named Danish brewery of the year and the fifth best brewery in the world. But the recognition didn’t stop then, and already in the spring of 2008 Mikkeller was named the second best brewery in Denmark barely beaten by 0,2% of the votes, and sixth best brewery in the world according to the important beer website Ratebeer.com

The success is partly due to the brewerys focus on creating challenging beers that test the
boundaries and where quality always comes before quantity. In other words, uncompromising beer.

The brewery wanted to challenge the Danes’ taste buds with intense taste adventures, and some of the inspiration is found on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean where the American breweries aren’t afraid to play and break all the rules. Mikkeller wants to provoke some of this inventiveness in Danish beer brewing, so why not show the way?

BEERmerchants.com is proud of the efforts that they have made to bring unusual and sought after beers to the UK, with the upmost care and attention given to delivery and maintanance of every bottle.

Mikkeller is one part of an ongoing program of bringing exceptional beers to the UK beer lover, that will see further Scandinavian, North American and new frontier brews available!
