The story of Mikkeller is the story of two homebrewers that in a few years went from hobby brewing in the kitchen to national and international recognition.

Since the summer of 2007, Mikkel Borg Bjergsø has run Mikkeller on his own. Mikkel is a gipsy-brewer, who brews at different breweries in Denmark, around Europe and the United States.

Mikkeller's success is the result of the brewery's focus on making boundary pushing beer, where quality always comes before quantity. In other words, uncompromising beer, where alcohol content, hop volumes and bitterness does not exist. Some of them are made in collaboration with some of the best breweries in the world.
