Pre-Order: Shipping From 02.10.25 Mikkeller and Budvar have joined forces to create the ultimate Czech lager, #YearoftheLager. This beer isn't just a beverage; it's a work of art. Crafted with love, it packs a 4.6% punch of that crisp, balanced, and aromatic goodness you expect from a classic Czech lager.

Some fantastic news for lager lovers! Mikkeller has teamed up with the legendary Czech brewery Budvar to create a collaboration beer like no other — #YearoftheLager.

While the craft beer scene has recently been dominated by extremes — from stouts infused with Peruvian highland coffee to fruited smoothie sours with volcanic salt — this project celebrates the elegance and craftsmanship of the classic Czech lager.

#YearoftheLager is a lovingly crafted 4.6% ABV lager, crisp, balanced, and aromatic, showcasing the very best of traditional brewing techniques. The name isn’t just catchy; it references a 2018 New Year’s Eve joke by Mikkeller’s founder Mikkel Bjergsø, who imagined each new year bringing renewed appreciation for well-brewed lager. That appreciation is now here, making a bold return to the craft beer spotlight.

As Mikkel explains: “Today, we return to the essence of beer brewing, where the love for craftsmanship and pure lager beer is paramount.”

In a world of experimental beers, this collaboration brings beer back to its roots, celebrating the shared passion of Mikkeller and Budvar for traditional, high-quality lagers.

Raise a glass with friends and family — with this collaboration, it’s officially the Year of the Lager.
