WE AIM TO…
… brew beer that challenges the concept of good beer and moves people. We do this by using the best ingredients and work with the most talented and creative minds around the world.
… make quality beers a serious alternative to wine and champagne when having gourmet food.
WE FAIL TO…
… calm down. We are always thinking in new ways and ideas, always working on the next project. Sometimes it’s hard for people to keep up…
… make beer that is watery and tasteless. In our world beer challenges people’s taste buds – whether it’s in a bitter, spicy, sour or fruity manner.
WE LOVE TO…
… explore the existing beer genres by using the best raw material available. The refined product is the aim – not to keep down costs. This leads to very special brews by Mikkeller: Stouts with Vietnamese Kopi Luwak coffee, chipotle chili, lychee fruits – just to name a few.
… cooperate with other breweries around the world, who inspires us and teach us new ways of doing things …
WE HATE TO…
…work with people that don’t give a damn. There are so many wonderful, passionate and honest people in the beer world, why spend time on the rest? …
