Continuing or exclusive coverage of Mikkeller Beer Celebration - Copenhagen, we make a new friend at Maine brewery, Oxbow Brewing Co. Then catch up with some familiar faces from 7venth Sun and Founders Brewing Co. It's a great round of interviews and makes us excited to catch up with them again next year!

The party might be over but that doesn't mean it has to end. We attended Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen again this year. Friday morning yellow session gave us lots of access to lots of great brewers and beers. This is part one of three. We start off with Hoof Hearted brewery (best brewery name ever!), follow it up with Deya and end it with B. Nectar. Enjoy!

Stefan went to London and brought back as many beers as his suitcase could hold. Before the show we tried beers from Wylams, Northern Monk and Verdant. It was a great pre-show sampling. For the episode we decided to try something from an exciting new brewery called Burnt Mill Brewery. They collaborated with Track Brewery to create Engamatic Galaxies. Following it up is probably the best DIPA ever created, Wylams' Midnight Train to Byker. Be jealous you aren't drinking it.

Chantra joins us again and as always brings a contentious energy. After much debate, she's going to create a chart of Omnipollo releases to Systembolaget. Their latest is another collaboration with Trillium Brewing called Covered in Puppies. Next is a red rye ale from The Kernel called London Brick. Surprisingly we all really like red ales and this rare release from The Kernel to the Swedish monopoly is a welcome treat.

We have a wrap up show with the winner and lose of Game of Beers, Game 4. Tomas opens up his wager beer Alvinne Cuvee d'Erpigny. It's an interesting sour ale aged on sherry barrels. To go with it, we sample a recent Brewdog release, Choco Libre, a mexican hot chocolate imperial stout. It's a favorite style of one of the people on the show.

Show regular Adrian faces off against returning guest Tomas. These two titans of beer sit down to battle out who has the best beer knowledge and palate. This is our hardest game yet, but when you have to very experienced challengers, you can't go easy.

Gothenburg Beer Week just passed and with it two beers related to the week. First up is the latest release from Stigbergets called Sublimo. The dolphin theme greatly amuses guest reviewer and fan favorite, Chantra. That's followed up by the official beer of GBG week Dugges Strawberry Sour Ale, a sour ale that really captures the elusive flavor of strawberry in the best way.

This took too long to get to. We finally make it back to Copenhagen and go to one of our favorite beer bars, Himmeriget. This is one of those beer mecca bars that you have to visit if you make it Copenhagen. Owned by Evil Twin founder, Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, they import an amazing selection of beers every week and help establish drinking trends in the market. Plus they have the best bottle list in Scandinavia. This episode we review Evil Twin (of course) IPA Kolada and Pipeworks Mud Monster.

Outside of Denmark, Jacobsen isn't widely known, which is a shame. Jacobsen is the speciality label of Carlsberg brewing focusing on high end traditional styles. Frederic Viking sits down with us and talks about how does a huge brewery innovate and stay competitive in a very active marketplace. Then we discuss their collaborations with Nordic Food Lab and two very innovative beers. It's a rare glimpse behind the scenes of a macro-brewery.

We've been enjoying To Ol quite a bit on the show. Two advent calendars and various bottles on the show so far. Now we finally get to sit down To Ol and talk about their history, what's they have been developing and what we can expect next from this amazing brewery. Jens Reimer joins us on the show to give us the skinny on what's been happening. It's an exciting listen with lots of insight into this amazing craft brewery.
