Mikkeller (UK)The Unusual Story of an Unusual (Beer) Brandaf Anders Ryehauge

It all began in 2003, in a home kitchen in Copenhagen’s Vesterbro neighborhood, where school teacher Mikkel Bjergsø and a friend started experimenting with hops, malt, and yeast. Today, Mikkeller is a multi-million-dollar enterprise selling beer to 50 different countries worldwide.

This book provides a sweeping retrospective on the first two decades of the brewery’s diverse history. As the book unfolds, readers discover the entire story of Mikkeller’s journey from microbrewery to world-renowned brand. After many years of steady growth, the company stands on the threshold of a new era – one offering both new opportunities and new challenges.

Since the spring of 2021, author and journalist Anders Ryehauge has followed Mikkel Bjergsø – at the company’s headquarters in Copenhagen, around Denmark, and abroad. Anders Ryehauge has written profiles, news coverage, and feature stories for a number of leading Danish magazines.
