Mikkel updated me on the progress of the collaboration between Mikkeller, Stone, and Alesmith. The beer was brewed during Mikkel’s visit to the US earlier this month. They brewed 120 barrels to be released in 12 oz. bottles (math > 1 barrel = 3968 oz / 12 = 330 x 120 = 39,600 bottles?). With the craft beer niche’s packaging trend moving toward expensive bombers, it would be nice if this were to become available in six packs. The Belgian-style Tripel will resemble a more “classic” rendition of the style meaning less hops (German Perle and Amarillo) in this beer.
