Bringing hops to life in Bangkok

What better way to reward your delegates or clients after a hard day’s work or touring than swigging delicious craft brews from all around the world? If you’re in Bangkok, send them off to Mikkeller for a round (or several rounds) of tipple.

One of three Mikkeller microbreweries in the world (the other two being in Copenhagen and San Francisco), the Bangkok outpost is tucked within a rustic house surrounded by lush greenery and private residences on Ekkamai Soi 10. Since opening its doors early this year – by a trio of beer experts Mike MacDonald, Jakob Rasmussen and Mikkel Borg Bjergso – the bar has bubbled up as a hit among the city’s discerning drinkers for its experimental approach and unique craft beers, offering a varied list of 30 rotating taps and specialised bottles from renowned breweries worldwide.

Private tastings at Mikkeller Bangkok can be arranged for groups up to 20 pax, which enable guests to explore a specific style (brand or country) during these closed sessions, from light beer tastings of around 800 baht (US$24.40) per pax to more aficionado-oriented affairs focusing on vintage and barrel-aged beers, which could go up to 3,000-4,000 baht per pax.

Events are entirely customised for the group and, depending on what’s in stock and the tasting theme, a session typically lasts one to two hours, and includes six beers, along with education, food and extras. Well-received beers include Mikkeller Sukhumvit Pilsner, To Ol Sofa King Pale, Amager Sinner Series Lust and Modern Times Lomaland.

Off-site tasting sessions can also be conducted for bigger groups. But as Mikkeller’s products are draft, off-site events are usually focused on bottles instead, with one or two draft options.
