Stopped by Mikkeller tonight. What an amazing place.
https://www.mikkellernyc.com/about/If you don't know, it's a huge spot built into Citi Field Right Field, just at Willets Point, which is all torn down now.
They have over 60 beers on tap, all their own. Yes, they do.
The whole place is sleek and spartan and very Copenhagen'y.
There are finely shined long tables in the wide open area, a small bar area, a private room and the stainless steel vats of the semi-open brewery.
They also have a small menu, but we didn't eat. I had a sour raspberry oak aged beer at about 9%, but there were other fruit beers at other alcohol levels, besides the incredible beer menu.
I've heard that on game nights, its incredibly crowded and chaotic. The bartender was describing this elaborate and very organized system they have for addressing the ordering process and I'm convinced its' as efficient as it can be. However, I really loved having that big space to just a dozen people. It's clean, crisp and like nothing we have in the area. Plus, it's a skip away. I can't wait to bike there. The brewery is trying to get a permit for outdoor service, and there is tons of room and even a patio area (when games aren't on) It was lovely to leave and see the full 10 cars of the 7 train glide past and see the skyline of Flushing in the distance. It's a wonderful wide open sky, which we don't get often enough.
Parking is available when there are no Met's games.
I highly recommend it. Due to the crunch on game days, they stopped serving 4 oz flights. I hope they bring them back as I really wanted to try a bunch of beer. They have 6 oz and up. Follow them on facebook for updates and if you can, push for the 4oz.
Great place!!
