Mikkeller-Berlin is the third branch of this Danish gypsy brewery which Hector has encountered. The first two were in 2018: San Francisco and Barcelona. I only have tasting notes for the Mikkeller brews consumed in San Francisco: SD Staff Magician a 5.5% NEIPA which sadly did not impress, and Mr. Burgundy a 7.5%, a NEIPA with blackcurrants. Cassis it was not. In Barcelona I had Bier from another brewery, as indeed I did here.
Service was slow, I was not convinced the serving Doris’ heart/mind was in it. With three blank taps from a potential 24, and only one IPA, I found my choice was restricted. The minimalist opening hours: Monday-Friday, 15.00-20.00, suggest that the bar is but an appendage to the brewing.
Power Move (Warpigs, Denmark) 5.0%
Session IPA Yellow, with a chill haze, this had a surprising hop hit.
