A Special Mikkeller Beer for Missouri Releases
Shelton Brothers has been unable to distribute in Missouri for the past three years. The lack of distribution meant Mikkeller’s offerings were unavailable to the Show-Me state.
Now that Shelton Brothers is back, the distributor teamed up with Mikkel of Mikkeller for a special sour ale. Mikkeller Show Me Cuvee is a blend of a quadrupel (Monk’s Brew) and the lambic base for their “Spontan Series.“
Mikkeller Show Me Cuvee is available in the state of Missouri in 750ml bottles.
Style: Wild Ale
Availability: 750ml Bottles. Missouri only.
Mikkeller Brews a Lambic with Beetroot
Mikkeller has been releasing a new round of Spontaneous Series beers in 2013. This list is pretty long and diverse, and continues to follow that trend. For the offering you see above, beetroot (the earthy tasting taproot) is added to the lambic and fermented in oak.
Mandarin will join SpontanPeach, SpontanElderflower, SpontanRosehip, SpontanRosehip, SpontanCassis, SpontanGooseberry, and SpontanMandarin.
Style: Lambic (w/ Beetroot. Oak Aged)
Availability: 11.2 oz bottles
Arrival: TBA
7.7% ABV
Lambic, The Rundown.
A lambic is a spontaneously fermented beer. What’s that? The beer is exposed to wild yeasts and bacteria. In this case (most likely) these wild yeasts live in the oak of the barrels they are aged in. The result is a tart/sour tasting beer.
Mikkeller’s Next Round of Spontaneous Beers Are Ready
Mikkeller (Denmark, U.S. & wherever he feels like it) has readied the first round of Spontaneous beers for 2013. The series features a base lambic beer (aged in oak) with a special fruit addition for variety and flavor depth. Above you see SpontanCassis, SpontanRosehip, SpontanPeach, and Spontangooseberry.
Look for these on shelves stateside this summer.
