More About Mikkeller Rice Lager

Mikkeller Japanese Rice Lager is a crisp, clean lager brewed with rice to impart a delicate body and subtle sweetness. It pours a pale straw-yellow with a light, white head. The aroma is fresh and floral, featuring hints of citrus and freshly cut grass. On the palate, it offers a well-balanced malt presence, a subtle sweetness from the rice, and a dry, lightly bitter finish. This 5% ABV lager is refreshing and easy to drink, making it a perfect companion to sushi, seafood, or light dishes

Mikkeller

Style: Brewery

Few breweries did more to shape modern European craft beer than Mikkeller. Sometimes brilliantly, sometimes chaotically, occasionally both at once.

Founded in Copenhagen by former maths teacher Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, the brewery started as a gypsy brewing project before becoming a global craft beer name with bars scattered across multiple continents. From the beginning, the focus leaned heavily into experimentation. Wild yeast, huge hop bills, barrel ageing, coffee, fruit, spontaneous fermentation, occasionally things sounding faintly unhinged on paper but somehow working in the glass.

The beers themselves cover an enormous range, though the quality control underneath it all is what made Mikkeller genuinely influential rather than simply trendy. Beer Geek Breakfast helped define modern coffee stout for a generation, while the hop-forward pale ales and IPAs pushed Scandinavian brewing towards fresher, more expressive styles long before haze fully took over the industry.

What makes Mikkeller interesting is the tension between playfulness and technical precision. The branding feels relaxed and slightly mischievous, but the brewing itself is usually incredibly well executed. Even the weirder releases tend to retain balance underneath the experimentation.

Copenhagen also suits the whole project perfectly. Design-conscious, food-obsessed and unusually willing to spend serious money on fermentation of all kinds. Mikkeller became part of that wider Nordic food and drink movement without ever feeling too polished or corporate.
