Mikkeller SD

The currently available sours are just $0.25 or so more expensive at B&V than they are at Mikkeller... after the Viking discount. Go figure.

 

Two can limit for members of this week's stout release. Not even BA. Mikkeller being Mikkeller.

 

Yeah, that came as quite a surprise. How small was this batch with a 2 can pp limit?

 

Anyone know if BA Vanilla Shake will be released this year? Mainly for public?

 

Anyone hitting Mikkeller SF for their 5th anniversary party today or tomorrow? If you do let us know what cans are available. I saw Alvarado brewed a kettle sour for the party which I'm sure is delicious, but only on draft.

Every now and then we get classic Mikkeller. Follow up email for this week's release, a barrel aged collab with Horus:

"There is no discount on Supreme Gesha. We are selling this beer as close to cost as possible. I apologize for not including this in yesterday's email."

Also re: Hype beer with Horus, so maxxxxxx profits. Fuck you, members.

 

Does anyone still have the initial membership email for Mikkeller this year? I could be remembering incorrectly, but I thought at least one of them at the Jarl level was a barrel aged Traeblod, which will be for sale this weekend.

 

Indeed, this was one of the major draws of Jarl membership for me. I am curious to see what it is replaced with.

Jarl (Tier 3)

Jarl level is invitation only and for current Vikings who are searching for those whales and craving ultra exclusivity.

Jarl membership Includes all 12 bottles and benefits from tier 1 and all 4 bottles and benefits from tier 2

Trippelbock with Raspberry Aged in Cognac Barrels

A marriage of fruit, wood, and complex malt composition. We allowed our Trippelbock with Raspberry to meet some of the most luxury-defining Cognac barrels we could find. A befuddling display of toasted, rich malt layers and woven berry sweetness dance with a warm, fruit spirit backbone.

Rum Barrel Aged Trae Blod

Our quest to perfect the indulgent Sunday morning brunch craving, Traeblod embodies all that is pure maple, coffee, roasty amazingness. A long sleep in freshly emptied Rum barrels brings out unparalleled amounts of maple sap and cinnamon complexities, while further integrating the deep coffee toast. A real treat. Best enjoyed by drinking.

 

According to an email I got, they added "even more maple" to the Jarl bottle along with their favorite "super expensive Vietnamese espresso".

So maybe I'm being overly skeptical, but "even more maple" is hard to quantify unless they give specific details (which they never do), and just a different coffee (the bottles for sale also have coffee). Little too close for comfort, for me. I think we got mikkeller'ed again with this membership. I don't know why I let my buddy talk me in to splitting this membership.
