Evil Twin’s Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø Moving to Brooklyn & Opening a Bar

No way could I make up a better story…our pal Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø from Evil Twin Brewing will be moving to Brooklyn AND opening a beer bar.  From chsbeer.org:

I'm going to work closely with my importer, 12 Percent. We've become really good friends, and he's doing a really good job for me and we've been selling more and more in the U.S. My wife and I have been talking about moving to New York for a long time to try something else. The opportunity was there, and you know, you have to have a business going, you have to be making money to live in New York. So that was the main reason. Also, we're into finding bigger production, and we knew something was coming up that we wanted to work on, and it would be easier for me to be over here.

And, we are also opening a beer bar in Brooklyn, a big place. Actually, we've been looking for a place for more than a year. I've been negotiating on a spot the last six months, and we just made a deal last week actually, so that's pretty exciting. We are opening a pretty big place - 2,000 square feet for Brooklyn standards is pretty big. It's going to be me, Brian Ewing my partner, and a guy out from California [could not catch his name] that's a good friend of mine. We want to make the best beer bar in the U.S., and I think we can do it. With all of our contacts combined - I know everybody in Europe, Brian knows everybody over here - I think we have a good reason to be able to think that.

So that's a new project. I'm not going to be bartending or anything, it's just something I'm doing to build the business. It's not going to be an Evil Twin bar, it's going to be built from the Scandanavian design and way of thinking, because I'm from Denmark and there's no reason not to use that when you open a bar because it's pretty popular in the U.S. (in New York especially). We will, of course, have a lot of Evil Twin beers, but we're not going to call it Evil Twin, and it's not going to be just Evil Twin. We want to be able to serve all the good beers from all of our friends all over the world.
