    Hi Everyone,

    It seems that Mikkeller has almost entirely pulled out of NJ, and I was curious if anyone in the area could confirm this. A few years ago (2012-2013), I had no issue locating Mikkeller in some of the better craft spots. I can no longer find anything. Does anyone know of a good craft spot that carries a good selection of Mikkeller?


    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Where in NJ are you? If you're in S. Jersey and willing to drive, there's a shop in Wilmington, DE that carriers a few Mikkeller brews

    Hi InsuranceGuy,

    I am in Central New Jersey, but I am willing to make the trip if the selection is worth it. What is the name of the bottle shop? All they carry around here is the Mikkeller to and from and Red and White Christmas, which are good beers, but I have had my fair share of them.

    Shelton Brothers (the US importers of Mikkeller) pulled out of NJ a few years back that's why you don't see a lot of the better Belgian/Euro beers in NJ

    @bigaizsosexy Kreston Wine & Spirits in Wilmington. I'll check their stock next time I'm in there, which should be this week.

    Does someone else distribute Dieu Du Ciel and Epic in NJ? I thought these were Shelton brews.

    Where have you seen Dieu Du Ciel in Jersey recently? And I assume you mean Epic from NZ? Same with them. I haven't seen either of these in quite a while - presumably since Shelton pulled out of NJ.

    About 20 minutes south of Wilmington, DE is a place called State Line Liquors in Elkton, MD. They have a great selection of Mikeller bottles there.

    I have seen Mikkeller stuff in central jersey. Not a lot of it, but it is around. One place I know always had some (havent been there too recently) is the spirits unlimited in point pleasant beach.

    Thinking back on it, I may have stocked up on Dieu Du Ciel and picked up an Epic IPA over in Philly... I make so many beer runs, and usually in NJ, that I forget at times where I purchased them.

    Thanks, @mohawk5 and @zero_signal. More specially, I am interested in Mikkeller's IPAs, but thank you for posting. I went to The Beer Store in South Hampton (PA); however, a lot of the Mikkeller beers are vintage.

    unfortunately any Mikkeller IPA you'll find on NJ shelves these days is way past the optimal freshness date. as others have mentioned their brews haven't been shipped to NJ in a few yeas.
