Väldigt kluven kring denna bok.
Oklar målgrupp - den som är intresserad av Mikkeller som bryggeri? Den som är intresserad av kuriosa kring mikrobryggerier? Få recept för att klona Mikkelleröl? Den som vill få tips till den egna ölbryggningen?

Hur som helst är den intressant i den mån att man förstår Mikkels filosofi kring ölbryggning - pusha gränserna till det extrema.
Vet inte om genomsnittsbryggaren kan lära sig allt för mycket av den, men innehåller en del intressant kuriosa.
Hade helt klart önskat mer tips kring de olika stegen kring bryggprocessen som Mikkel besitter, och mer ingående beskrivningar på hur han rekommenderar att hans något utsvävande recept bör bryggas.

Both my fiance and I loved this light read that allowed us a glimpse into our favorite brewery's back story. Not extremely comprehensive as far as brewing techniques goes, but we have other sources to reference for that. As two novice home brewers it sparked a lot of discussion and inspired us to just get out there and experiment with different flavor profiles. Included are a wide variety of Mikkeller's beer recipes, which will be incredibly useful to implement in the future.

Mikkellers bog om øl lærer en om øl, og historien bag Mikkeller. Den kan godt til tider blive en smule ananas i egen juice, men at læse Mikkellers tanker om øl er meget interressant. Det bliver uden tvivl et opslagsværk.

I bogen får man blandt andet indsigt i:

- Typer af øl
- Hvordan man selv brygger øl
- Mikkeller og deres øl
- Historier og anekdoter
- Madparring til øl

Love the idea of this, just entirely one perspective on beer from a boundary-pushing, highly regarded brewer. I was more interested in the story of him and Mikkeller's beers than the more general info, which can be found elsewhere.

Biography, history, culture, art, science, cuisine and of course brew recipes; this book has it all with both novices and experts in mind as readers.

Due to the huge respect for Mikkeller Brewery

[Caspar Bøtchiær · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book which started my journey into brewing at home. Not a comprehensive how to book by any means, but still a fine introduction to the process. And you get some nice recipes with it.

As a fan of Mikkeller, this is a great book to learn more about their company and brand. Also, some fun stories of their beers.

A mostly great introduction to beer styles and a brief history behind a really fine brewery that sort of takes a sharp left turn into head-up-ass territory when you read about the beer brewed from coffee beans harvested from the poop of civet cats. I'm gonna say that's the jumping the shark of the beer world. All props to Mikkel for always trying to push the envelope, and while I'm sure that beer is delicious (I've only had a couple few Mikkeller beers in my days), the book does take a sharp left turn into eyeroll mode after that. Mostly the parts about pairing beer with food and recipes for food you could never make at home and could never find the beer to pair it with. Oh well! Worth half a read!

Pretty light on the substance but a pleasant and easy read about Mikkeller, beer and home brewing. For me, as a novice home brewer, the most inspiring part is the delighfully wide selection of shared Mikkeller beer recipes. Will be useful for future batches and experiments.

Klart mest positive oplevelser er vejledning og opskrifterne, der giver lyst til at prøve at brygge sin egen øl. Historien bag Mikkeller er kedeligt og stift skrevet. Indføringen i øltyper har for mange løse ender og intermezzoerne med forskellige Mikkeller øl er mere i genren af label-tekst end bog-intermezzo. Hyggelig bog, men så er den hellere ikke federe... Gaaab!

[Kenneth Aus · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brief introduction to beer, history, brewing, beer types and Mikkeller. It's also nice it has several receipts. The food receipts was pointless, since it should have presented some easy ones instead of some from Noma. Still, a good book.

[Morten · Rating 2 out of 5]

Selvfed, overfladisk, med nær eneste lyspunkt at der er nogle opskrifter. Jeg er også bare så utrolig træt af hele Mikkeller branding cirkuset.

[Brian Lund · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rigtig fin bog, den lider blot af at den vil for meget, så det hele bliver lidt overfladisk.

Cute cover!
