Maybe you know, or maybe not, but I still write it. Danes are enthusiast, because this week finally opened the first Mikkeller Bar in Copenhagen. As you can imagine, this is a premises owned by the Danish brewer, which will offer house beers both on tap (15-way system) and bottled. Will also host many productions from America and the rest of Europe, among which is easy to imagine the Italian Revelation Cat (Alex Liberati, the founder and brewer, and Mikkel, are great friends). Besides being a new address to be reported in the Danish capital, the Mikkeller Bar also offers the opportunity to reflect on the new trend of pubs owned by brewers.

'10Mikkeller launches its new Blend Series
Warning: it’s an April Fool!
The Danish brewer Mikkeller is one of those producers who never ceases to amaze. After the endless series of absolutely unusual productions, in recent times they concentrated themselves on a series of themed beers. The first consecration came with the Single Hops, each of which is brewed with just one hop. Recently, following the success obtained, the Yeast Series along with the oak-aged versions of the Black Hole were announced. A new range of beers, called Blend Series, was officially introduced in these days.

'10Mikkeller goes into teaching…
Mikkeller is a renowned Danish brewer, and probably you’ve come across their beers. I’m thinking particularly to the Single Hop Series. This is a controversial project, with beers brewed adding only one kind of hop, in order to assess and appreciate its features at its best. Obviously it is also possible to compare two or more beers in the series to discover the differences between the varieties of hops.

'10New international beers
As happens from time to time we take a look at the new beers that will soon invade (or have recently invaded) the international market. Let’s start with one of the latest news, which comes directly from the blog Thirsty Pilgrim. It seems that the Belgian Dupont will introduce, in the next April, a special dry-hopped version of its renowned Saison. In broad outline dry-hopping technique is to add fresh hops directly during fermentation. Will be produced once a year and the availability will be quite limited: they will produce only about 250 kegs and 300 to 500 magnum size bottles. Sounds like an interesting variation on the theme for all those who love this beer. But it will takes a lot of luck to have the chance to sample it.
