The beer selection at the brand new Mikkeller & Friends bar at Hverfisgata street, downtown Reykjavík, will make you dizzy before you have a single sip.
They have twenty types on tap among those are rarities like the legendary Westvleteren, considered by some to be the best beer in the world, vintage BelleVues from 1999 and 1989 and Gueuze, all three are Belgian icons.
According to bar manager Ólafur Ágústsson the stars of the show are, however, beers from the fantastic Danish micro brewery Mikkeller and their friends To Øl, both so-called gipsy or nomad breweries meaning they don’t own their own brewing quipment, but brew their ambitious recipes at other breweries instead. ”We will get all the lates types from them as soon as they enter the market,” Ólafur explains.
While the focus is on the drinks at Mikkeller & Friends the bar also offers a quality snack menu from the excellent pizzeria located one floor down.
