As promised, here is the approximate pricing for Mikkels Monster:
9 x 600 mL / $220 case
We understand that this is quite steep and there are several factors that contributed to this price point including Nørrebro's packaging format of nine bottles per case (shipping is calculated on per case basis), the expensive process (aged in Port and Bordeaux barrels) and the exclusivity of this beer (very, very limited production). The reviews are absolutely impressive and we managed to secure the last 10 available cases of which a few will find its way to our own cellar.
The reality is that after this shipment we will not see Mikkel's Monster on these shores for quite some time.
We don't like to play favourites, but this is probably one of the most complex beers in our portfolio. Those who attended the Danish beer dinner can certainly attest to this.
As far as the timing is concerned, the plan is to close this round of orders by August 5.
