Anders Kissmeyer in Norway


Anders (to the right) will be visiting Lervig wensday the 19th of January and we will brew a collaboration beer together. I think for Anders he is becoming quite known for his famous Smoked malted beers and what would be better than a 7,0% abv Smoked Baltic Porter. The beer will be divided and sold into Danmark and here in Norway. The beer should be available late febuary for shipment.
Wendsday evening Anders will be presenting himself and talking about his new brand "Kissmeyer Beer" at the Cardinal Pub in Stavanger.
Anders has had a long carreer starting with 16 years at Carlsberg, and then the last 10 years as a founder and brewmaster of Norrebrø Bryghus in Copenghagen.
Anders has been in my opinon one of the leading voices in Scandinavian craft brewing, and he has done his job at promoting great beer in Danmark and abroad.
Anders has been a present figure in the beer scene durring my years in Copenhagen brewing for Gourmet Bryggeriet, and we became closer due to the involvement of a good friend and brewer Shaun Hill pictured to the left, here they are displaying their Medals from the last World Beer Cup where some Norrebrø's beers won gold on some of the most competive catagories. The beer "Seven" a Russian Imperial stout was a collaboration between Shaun Hill-Norrebrø, Christain Skodval Andersen - Beer Here and more, the guys from Devil brewery, Mikkeller, Peter Sonne, Amager Bryghus, and Myself thus the name "SEVEN" for the seven breweries particapting. So i guess we may name this next guest brew "Two".... then again maybe not:-)

A smoked baltic porter sounds great! Make it sweet and intensely smoked, and I'll be a very happy man.

Will this be available in the wine monopoly?

Hi Lars, Hard to say if we will bottle or fill it into kegs at the moment. I will of course let you know when the time comes...
