Brewski x Mikkeller Magic Valley DIPA

Leave a comment

Brewery: Brewski x Mikkeller ApS
Country: Sweden
ABV: 7.77%
Style: American Double IPA
Other Notes: Double IPA w/ Guava. Only real fruit inside!

Brewer Description: (from bottle) It’s the witching hour on a dark, moonless night. You’re huddled with friends around a campfire in the woods far from town, taking turns telling stories. Someone has just recounted a particularly eerie tale about an encounter with a ghost, insisting it was true. You sit quietly, staring into the flames, reluctant to let on that it actually made your skin crawl. Then someone in the shadows clears his throat and begins to speak: “did you hear the one about… the magic valley?”

Leave a comment

Brewery: Brewski
Country: Sweden
ABV: 5.6%
Style: American IPA
Other Notes: India Pale Ale. Keep it real, no additives inside!

Brewer Description: (from bottle) As we have said before.. That your first beers will always carry a special place in your heart. Herr Hemlig was our first commercial non-fruit beer. First launched in 2015. We couldn’t keep up with supply at the moment due to other success stories. So we are glad to re-introduce this beer, upgraded with all our knowledge the last years into a refined Herr Hemlig 2.0. We hope you will enjoy this simple, but yet tasty India Pale Ale!

Brewski Conan DIPA

Leave a comment

Brewery: Brewski
Country: Sweden
ABV: 8%
Style: American Double IPA

Brewer Description: (from bottle) It was a hoppy land that seemed to hold all flavors and aromas and dreams that shun the sun, with barley malt rattling in the lonesome winds, and the dark breweries brooding over all, not even lightened by the added hops which made squat shadows out of men; they called it Conan, beer of hoppyness and deep flavor.
