Jeppe vs Mikkel: Something's Brewing in Queens

I enjoy beers from both brothers and have been to both Torst and Mikkeller Citifield and liked both places, though they were very different. Other than that I couldn't care less if they hate each other or by whom each brewery is owned.

 

Does one even need this crap from either side? I'd be fed up and try a dozen others breweries. Bad for both sides even if one is more 'right'.

I get defending your name but sometimes there is more to staying quiet.

 

I'm sure the feud is real, but I've always wondered how great it would be if they were both faking it just to draw attention to their respective breweries. It certainly seems to keep the press interested in them. As for the beer, I don't care much for either of them. I've always wanted to check out Torst but it's crazy expensive, even by NYC standards.

 

They're both laughing all the way to the bank either way.

Fair enough, but I think you are in the minority.

Neat place. Worth at least one visit, IMO. You can always head over to Barcade or Spuyten Duyvil if you tire of Torst.

 

As I am with most of my beer likes/dislikes. Nothing new for me!

That's good to hear and I do appreciate that Torst has some unique offerings, both food and beer wise. A trip to Spuyten Duyvil makes anything better. I'll always have a yearning for that place.

Things that make you go hmmm...

 

Well, since both "make" overhyped and overpriced beers, yet can't be bothered to actually make beer, llest their hands be spoiled, I say, go ahead, fight that fight, Brotatochipd.

In other words, fuck both of em.

 

Bearded beer dork reality show......

 

"Bad for both sides?" This feud has been an endless source of media coverage for their breweries and is part of contemporary craft beer lore. Where would Evil Twin in particular be without this story to fuel interest? It has been great for both sides, to the point that I'll be far from the first person (even in this thread) to speculate that it may be, ahem, "exaggerated" for the press.

 

they sell evil twin in the mikkeller online store, they also have served mikkeller in torst im fairly sure... my vote is it's all for press and theyre gonna fight on a late night talk show like kaufman and lawler.

 

Was super excited to see both will have a space open by my NYC visit, but honestly - I don't think I'll be visiting either. Too far to travel from my stay with other good and local options along the way.

 

Alex Jones told me a secret....they're not really brothers....Mikkel is Jeppe and Jeppe is Mikkel!!!! THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON!

 

Meh, I'll just wait for that Spontandryhop Fried Chicken Collab to happen

 

Honestly this is pretty interesting. However I think both of their offerings are overpriced and overrated. Except Michigan Maple Jesus, that's pure gold in my eyes.

 

I'm sure I'm not alone, but I don't give a rat's ass about these self aggrandizing exhibitionists. I used to sell Mikkeller a number of years ago and I can state that the beers are way over-priced at every level.

 

Seems to me they both specialize in gimmick beer. If either one makes a beer that doesn't involve fruits, vegetables or candy, I'd be willing to try it. However, they have so many different varieties on the shelf where I shop (especially ET), I don't have the patience to read all the cans to find something that I may want to drink. I am open to suggestions.
