Today is the 50th birthday — The Big 5-O — of Mikkel Borg Bjergsø, founder of the Danish gypsy brewery Mikkeller. I first met Mikkel in Burton-on-Trent in 2008, during I trip when I accompanied Matt Brynildson to Marston’s where he was doing a collaboration beer. But the last time I ran into him at the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival several summers ago in Paso Robles. Join me in wishing Mikkel a very happy birthday.
