The Evil Twin Brewing story started in 1997. In a country dominated by the Carlsberg Brewery, Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø started a beer club to find quality beer and share bottles.
It was not long until the group, including Jeppe’s twin brother Mikel (the man behind Mikkeller), were home brewing and entering their beers into competitions.
In 2005, while still working as a school teacher, Jeppe opened the now renowned Ølbutikken bottle shop in Copenhagen, importing from the US and abroad as well as distributing other breweries including his brothers.
There is some playful rivalry between the two, and with Mikkeller already established Jeppe was keen to be an independent force in the beer world.
In 2012, ignoring any drawn comparisons, he started brewing professionally as the “Evil Twin” to brother Mikkel. The pair are both “Gypsy Brewers” perfecting recipes at home then visiting commercial brewerys to create a release.
Evil Twin’s ethos avoids being tied down to the brewing process but focuses on how it turns out. Producing beers with creativity and spontaneity.
With Brews like: Even More Jesus, Xmas Eve in a New York City Hotel Room and Ryan and the Gosling, Jeppe states that another criteria for an Evil Twin beer must be a weird name.
Always influenced by US brewers, Jeppe moved with his family in 2012 to a permanent head quarters in Brooklyn, New York and is now brewing across America.
