The Brewery Info
Evil Twin Brewing is the brainchild of Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø. An avid beer geek since 1997, Jeppe began home-brewing in Copenhagen, Denmark in June/'03. His first foray into the commercial craft beer scene commenced in September/'05, when he opened the now world-famous bottle shop Ølbutikken in Copenhagen. The reputation of Jeppe & his shop grew quickly, and myriad side projects began (including his collaboration with Cantillon on the Blåbær Lambik - one of this most highly regarded, highly sough-after lambics in the world). Evil Twin Brewing is Jeppe's latest venture, and is the culmination of the vast knowledge, experiences, and relationships he's built over the years.
FYI:
  • Jeppe's brother is Mikkel Borg Bjergso of Mikkeller Brewing
  • 7:00PM start, PAYG and reservations are recommended.

Kelleigh and I are headed down tonight for eats and drinks. I'll make sure everything is in order for the TNSC invasion.
