Description
You can come get to know our beers and the people behind them at either of our two locations.

Our original brewery on Lincoln Avenue is home to our Brewery Shop, where you can sample or purchase to-go, and a Tap Room, where you can stay, get a bite to eat and get to know who we are and what we do. You can now also visit our new brewery, on Balmoral Avenue, where we have a beer garden in nice weather and a completely separate food program.

Both locations offer perennials Daisy Cutter, Bodem, Pony Pilsner and Tuna plus plenty of small batch beers released weekly.

Lata de 50 cl. En el momento, en llamas el 03-05-2014. color amarillo anaranjado turbio con bastante espuma blanca al echarla que va desaparecido poco apoco. Aromas frescos de frutas tropicales con unas ligeras notas resinosas. Cuerpo medio con 8 vol que se notan bien en boca. Bien de gas, espumando en todo momento al agitarla. Sabores también afrutados tropicales al inicio, seguidos de cierto dulzor maltoso y acabando con un herbáceo y fresco amargo resinoso que dura en boca unos buenos minutos. Bastante buena, aromas y sabores intensos y frescos con una buena dosis de alcohol. Para repetir sin problema.

Draught at Mikkeller and Friends, Copenhagen
Cloudy blond color with large compact head. There is a mild but nice aroma of quality hops, grassy in the front and more citrusy later. Dry mouthfeel, smooth, with some hay and strong bitterness, some vegetables character, although it ends with light coriander and fruits.
Good.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar
Aroma has hay, deep-ish roasted tones, cocoa and semi-dark chocolate. Flavour has roastiness, cocoa, semi-dark chocolate and coffee tones, Nice, I like the roastiness level of this stuff. The hops take a bit over a the end of the glass.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar. Aroma has coffee, some ashy notes, toffee and hints of smoke. Feels english. Flavour is ashy and roasted with some coffee and peaty tones. Also some toffee in the background. Some salty licorice occurs after some sips. Also the flavour has its English side.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar. Aroma is somewhat sweet and heavy with gooseberry bush, harsh malt and some caramel tones. Flavour has resiny hops, some gooseberry bush and fruits. Refreshing, this has something in common with Founders All Day IPA. This is just more heavy and resiny. And has more lingering hops. And apparently much more alcohol.
