Beer bottle art - Mikeller brewery

Mikeller is a Copenhagen microbrewery that was set up by a home brew-loving Danish teacher and two of his pupils. You can drink beer from the age of 15 in Denmark so this isn't necesarily as legally problematic as it sounds. The beers Mikeller makes are tasty and forceful and their bars are fun and full of attractive people. But that isn't what this website is about.

What grabs my attention about Mikeller are their dry-humoured, 2D cartoon bottle labels, designed by a Philadelphian called Keith Shore. It's like a sarcastic Ancient Egyptian discovered neons and Microsoft Paint. They are a thing of beauty and, excellently, Mikeller sell t-shirts as well as beer.

Here are some favourites. They look good and they taste good.



Keith sells some prints of Mikeller posters and if I can work out how to get them shipped over to the UK I am most definitely going to get one. Or six.




Be sure to visit the Mikeller bars if you are in Copenhagen.
