About Mikkeller
About Mikkeller
The Mikkeller story began in 2003 in a small Copenhagen kitchen, where math and physics teacher Mikkel Bjergsø started experimenting with hops, malt, and yeast. What started as a hobby to recreate his favorite IPAs quickly turned into a global phenomenon. Driven by a "gypsy brewing" model in its early years, Mikkel traveled the world collaborating with different breweries to bring his inventive recipes to life, eventually trading his classroom chalkboard for a full-time pursuit of brewing excellence.
Mikkeller is defined by a refusal to be pinned down to a single style. Their brewing philosophy treats every ingredient—from coffee and yuzu to chili and chocolate—as a potential building block for a new experience. Whether it is perfecting the art of barrel aging or exploring the complexities of spontaneous fermentation, the goal remains the same: to challenge the traditional perceptions of beer and push the boundaries of what is possible in a glass.
While their portfolio is ever-changing, certain creations have reached legendary status. The Beer Geek Breakfast, an oatmeal stout infused with French press coffee, served as their international breakthrough and remains a benchmark for the style. Beyond the bottle, Mikkeller has built a vibrant global community through a network of stylized bars and the Mikkeller Running Club, proving that great beer is best enjoyed as part of a shared, adventurous lifestyle.
