Berlin Trip : Mikkeller Berlin

I’m slowly working around all of the Mikkeller bars in the world (everyone has to have a hobby….), although I’m going to have to go to Copenhagen again and to Japan to tick a fair few off in one go.

The beer board and the list is also on Untappd. The service was prompt and immediate with a laid-back and comfortable atmosphere in the bar. It’s a relatively small venue, so I can imagine that it regularly gets full on weekend evenings. There are 24 keg lines here with most beer styles covered, as well as a wide spread of different ABVs.

The Burst from Mikkeller, it had an orange edge to the taste, all smooth and reassuring.

The Nutty by Nature, also brewed by Mikkeller. I thought that this was one of the better brown ales that I’ve had, very nutty but also smooth and creamy with something of a Twix taste to it.

And this was the most exciting of them all, the White-Out from 3 Sons Brewing Co of Dania Beach in Florida, although it’s a collab with Mikkeller. This is a proper Christmas beer, coconut, nutmeg, chocolate with a sweetness to it, and very smooth bearing in mind that it was 13.8%. I think it’s fair to say that this delicious beer with its delightful aroma would fall foul of the purity laws.

The venue is very well reviewed and I can see why, this is some of the best beer that I think anyone is likely to get in Berlin. The prices aren’t cheap, but they’re also not unreasonable given how many of these beers have to be imported.
