Cigar City Brewing's beer in Copenhagen
Cigar City Brewing is a brewery based in Tampa Bay, Florida. They have collaborated with Mikkeller, a brewery in Copenhagen, Denmark, to create an imperial sweet stout brewed with cherries and cacao nibs, which is then aged in bourbon barrels.
Mikkeller was founded by two homebrewers, one of whom is the world-famous gypsy-brewer Mikkel Borg Bjergsø. Mikkeller has several bars and restaurants in Copenhagen, including the original Mikkeller Bar in the heart of Vesterbro, which has taps from Mikkeller and other breweries, as well as cheese, snacks, meats, and a specialised bottled selection. Most of the taps are Mikkeller's own brew. In March 2013, Mikkeller and another Danish microbrewery, To Øl, opened a second Mikkeller bar in Copenhagen called Mikkeller & Friends. At the same time, a Mikkeller Bottle Shop opened, selling bottled beers from Mikkeller and other microbreweries. Mikkeller also runs a beer bar at Stefansgade 35 in Copenhagen's Nørrebro area, called Mikkeller and Friends. You will also find Mikkeller bars in San Francisco, Stockholm, and other big cities around the world. In addition to regular brewing, Mikkeller also produces collaborative beers with other breweries, such as BrewDog, To Øl, Nøgne Ø, Lervig Aktiebryggeri, Jester King, Three Floyds, Cigar City, AleSmith and Namgay Artisanal Brewery. Mikkeller has also brewed "house beers" for restaurants (including Michelin-starred ones) and bars in Denmark and several other countries.
Since 2012, Mikkeller has organised and hosted a large annual beer festival, the Copenhagen Beer Celebration, which takes place each year in May. The festival mainly features small breweries from around the world, with many of them premiering new beers or small one-off batches of special beer, brewed specifically for the festival. In 2017 the festival was renamed Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen (MBCC). Mikkeller won the "Danish Brewery of the Year" award in its inaugural year, in 2006, and again in 2008; in 2009 the award was shared with Hornbeer. Mikkeller has also been judged the fifth best brewery in the world on two occasions.
