Mikkeller & Boxing Cat Team Up To Make “Bruce ChiLee IPA”

Bruce Lee is kicking ass again in the form of a beer collaboration. Danish brewer Mikkeller and Beijing, China’s Boxing Cat Brewery created Bruce ChiLee IPA. The resulting beer packs a punch. ChiLee is brewed with green chilis, rye malt and American Simcoe hops. This is Boxing Cat’s second collaboration, the first with Great Leap Brewing in Shanghai, China.

Mikkeller has a long list of collaborations all over the world now, spanning from Asia, Europe and the United States. Bad news for the rest of the world, this beer will only be available at Boxing Cat in China.

Tapping parties occur today in honor of Halloween. Proceeds from the beer at Rio benefit the Food Bank of Larimer County.

“La Calavera is a medium bodied stout with nice roast character,” said Odell pilot brew manager, Brent Cordle. “Brewed with roasted pablano peppers and whole pumpkin gives it a distinctive chili pepper aroma and a subtle hint of pumpkin to balance just the right amount of heat in the finish.”
