    I'm confused. I know we get some Mikkeller but not all. I've seen the single hop around for example. Why do we get some but not all?

    Sorta how I felt which is why I put the question mark there. Because, I swear that I have seen some Mikkeller on the shelves but I started second guessing myself.

    My guess is that they are a gypsy brewery so they brewed beers through other people's label which is why we got some. As in BrewDog or some others.

    I am guessing we have never had Mikkeller actually distributed here.

    I'd be you're right with your theory about why we got some and not others. I've definitely been intrigued by some of their brews we don't get so this is good news.

    This is very exciting news. Mikkeller makes some great, unique brews. We've always received a very basic allotment of Mikkeller in TX. Now I'd like to see some Evil Twin!

    At least in Dallas, they'd been getting distro through Mexcor. They handle mostly wine and spirits, so we should hopefully see broader selection and availability.

    Yes, Mexcor was handling Mikkeller in Texas and doing a rather poor job of it. Hopefully Flood will be able to bring a wider selection of Mikkeller beers to the Texas market.

    Of these five, I haven't seen two of them in Texas before. I'm sure there are a lot more to come.

    This is exciting. Here's hoping for the Spontanale series.

    I just picked one here in Louisiana, is it that good I should pick up another?

    Forget anything else Mikkeller makes and only import this, and the barrel aged version.

    I've seen probably 6-7 different ones at Whip In in Flower Mound. Drank the Draft Beer last night which was a little underwhelming.

    I have seen their stuff at specs and Gabriel's. Always looks a little too pricey.

    I tried their Gueuze Spontannoble a few months back. 15 bucks for a 12oz is expensive, but I thought it was quite tasty. Would love to try Spontanframboos or some of the other ones.

    The I ___ You beers are new I think which is cool. Don't care about the current ones we've had and are continuing to get based on that pic. Some of the Black Hole variants would be nice. Had the white wine version on tap a couple yrs ago and it was divine.

    According to the tabc label approvals, these beers have all already been in Texas, or at least approved for Texas, 4+ years ago.
