Mikkeller Bar Employee Directory

Eight years ago, Mikkel Borg Bjergsø was a math and physics teacher that started experimenting with hops, malt and yeast in his kitchen in Copenhagen, Denmark. Today, he exports his micro-brewed beer to 50 different countries and is internationally acclaimed as one of the most innovative and cutting-edge brewers in the world. To date, he has brewed... most of his infamous beers at de Proef Brouwerij in Belgium, but has also collaborated on a wide variety of beers with some of the world's most acknowledged and creative micro-breweries, including Three Floyds, de Struise, Hill Farmstead and Anchorage Brewing. Additionally, he produces house beers for some of the finest and most prominent gourmet restaurants in Denmark, including the Michelin-starred Noma and Kiin Kiin. Mikkel's inventiveness and constant pushing of the brewing envelope has led to his style being labeled "cult, "rock 'n' roll" and "gypsy," but the latter will only apply in some cases as 2016 will see the opening of the autodidact brewer's first-ever brick-and-mortar brewery, Mikkeller Brewing San Diego in the heart of Southern California's vibrant craft brewing industry.Read More
