The Elusive Breakfast Beer

A question I’ve been getting a lot lately is, “Dave, when are we going to see Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Breakfast Stout in LA??”

Truth is, I had no idea, and it killed me to not have an answer.

But just a few days ago, I stumbled upon Mikkel(ler)’s Blog, presumably written by brewer Mikkel Borg Bjergsøl.

According to a post written back in December, the next batch of Beer Geek Breakfast Stout will be brewed at Nøgne Ø.

In late january 2008 I will travel to Grimstad in Norway to brew two batches of Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast, which has been sold out worldwide for quite some time now….!
Allready beeing in Grimstad, Kjetil – the head brewer of Nøgne Ø – asked me to do a guestbrew with him. Together we have been working on a recipe for a pretty special brew….

So if this stuff is being brewed at the end of January, what can we extrapolate from that? Maybe we can expect it out here by March or April? Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Also interested to see what kind of Mikkeller/Nøgne Ø mashup is in the works.  Maybe a Signature Ale of sorts?
