Dry Hop Simcoe Vodka

Detailed Description

Handmade from the finest winter wheat. The wheat is milled by them, then they cook, ferment and distill in a copper still. Finally they add the hops. Fine vodka with a hoppy feeling. The dry hop concept is a Mikkeller touch and a clash of cultures: the beer world and the vodka world meet and unite. Dry hopping means that they after the actual beer, or in this case the fine vodka, is produced, they add small amounts of hops to the liquid in “teabags”. The vodka slowly takes in the aroma and taste from the hops. No bitterness is added to the vodka while dry hopping, the technique adds fragile aromatic oils and leaves a citrusy and refined taste.

Distillery Information

Mikkeller is a microbrewery founded in 2006 in Copenhagen, Denmark that was originally based on the so-called “cuckoo”, “phantom” or “gypsy” ethos; that is, the company did not operate an official brewery and, instead, collaborated with other brewers to produce their recipes or experimental one-off brews. The company now operates two breweries in the United States (San Diego and New York) and one brewery as well as a blendery in Copenhagen, Denmark. Mikkeller was founded by two home brewers: Mikkel Borg Bjergs√∏, a high school teacher, and journalist Kristian Klarup Keller. Both sought to introduce their home-brewed beer to the public and to “challenge beer friends with intense new tastes”, drawing inspiration from the American breweries that “aren’t afraid to play and break all the rules”.
