About

Mikkeller Side Hustle is a Session IPA from Copenhagen-based Mikkeller, the Danish craft brewery founded in 2006 by former physics teacher Mikkel Borg Bjergsø. At 4.9% ABV, this light IPA delivers hop character without the weight of traditional versions. The beer draws on American citrus and aromatic hop traditions. The nose presents grapefruit, lemon zest and floral notes alongside subtle spice. On the palate, citrus leads with balanced bitterness and light peppery spice, finishing clean and dry. The mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing, typical of the Session IPA format. Mikkeller's philosophy embraces all brewing possibilities—hops, malt, barrel aging, spontaneous fermentation. Side Hustle demonstrates that complexity and flavour thrive even in approachable, lower-alcohol formats.
