First sold beer: July 2020
Prolific Danish nomad brewery Mikkeller, founded by Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, opened its first London bar in October 2018, teaming up with Mikkel’s unlikely childhood hero, 1980s pop idol turned beer connoisseur Rick Astley.
A second London venue, also in partnership with Rick, began as a popup in a former menswear shop in the atmospheric surroundings of Exmouth Market in October 2019. During the 2020 Covid-19 lockdowns, this was converted into a brewpub, with a bespoke 7.5 hl brewhouse from Premier Stainless in San Diego in pride of place at the rear and fermenters downstairs.
Beers are sold in-house from tank and sometimes kegged for export to Mikkeller outlets elsewhere. Brewers have autonomy to develop their own recipes, mainly producing rotating specials in a wide range of styles, though some recur more frequently than others
