Keith Shore is the brilliant artist behind the Mikkeller labels (See above). Some of his most recent artwork was for The Festival which occurred in June. The event was presented by 12% Imports and Shelton Brothers, with a pretty insane lineup. Both the beer AND the brewers from the likes of Evil Twin Brewing, De Molen, Sixpoint, De Graal, De Ranke, Crooked Stave, Mikkeller, Jolly Pumpkin, Cantillon, Pretty Things, Yeastie Boys and more attended. You get the idea.
If you weren’t lucky enough to be there, you are lucky enough to get a piece of Keith Shore’s artwork. Two different prints were created for The Festival by the famed artist, which are now available for purchase.
Spontandoubleberry 18×24, 3 color screenprint. ($45). Limited to 65.
Beer Geek Brunch 18×24, 4 color screenprint ($45) Limited to 65.
Both prints are available at Keith’s website. Each print is signed and numbered.

These two brewers make some good shiz. Mikkeller and Three Floyds are teaming up again to bring you Risgoop. This is the fifth time that the the brewery’s have teamed up. One edition will be brewed in Indiana, the other in Denmark.
Behold! The fifth collaborative effort of Three Floyds and Mikkeller. This complex ale is just the beverage for canal boat trips in Copenhagen or the brutal Chicago winter. This year’s offering will be brewed in both Europe and Chicago. Looks for both editions and the subtle differences of each. Cheers and thanks for supporting craft beer.

Introducing a barrel aged edition of Jester King/Mikkeller’s Weasel Rodeo. Why weasel? The original beer was based off of Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Brunch, brewed with Kopi Luwak coffee. Weasel Barrel Rodeo is an oatmeal stout, brewed with chipotle peppers, Kopi Luwak coffee, then aged in whiskey barrels.
Inside the hops and staves of oaken whiskey barrels, magical things can sometimes happen. Even ancient enemies like weasels and rodeo clowns can overcome their conflicts and learn to work together as one. Feral monkeys are a different story, though. It turns out that even in barrels, they’re really not much fun at all.
Style: Imperial Stout (w/ coffee, chipotle peppers, Barrel Aged)
Hops: Millenium, Saaz, Cascade, Columbus
Malts: Mans Otter, dark crystal malt, brown malt, chocolate malt, smoked malt
Availability: 750 ml bottles
Arrival: August, 2012
10.1% ABV

Jester King thinks this beer could be the most expensive sold in Texas… or another, it means that the whiskey barrel aged version, which we’re calling “Whiskey Rodeo” is now going to be the most ludicrously expensive beer ever sold in the State of Texas, and this initial batch of non whiskey barrel aged Whiskey Rodeo will be a little less so. Seriously, if you’re thinking of buying a bottle of Whiskey Rodeo, start saving now. Kopi Luwak costs over $200/lb (as compared with Legendee which costs a mere $35/lb).
Mikkeller is rebooting the yeast series again, using an identical pale ale base, and different yeasts. It’s a lot like the single hop series, using the same base IPA recipe and 19 different hops.
