(Tampa, FL) – Cigar City Brewing and Mikkeller‘s recent collaborations were approved this week.

The difference between the two beers is not made clear from the labels. It looks like Shaun Hill from Hill Farmstead provided the inspiration for the names. Both will be sold in 750s.

Bohr Stout label copy:

“Neils Bohr was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1885. His contributions to our understanding of the physical world have made him one of Denmark’s most famous citizens and one of the 20th century’s most influential scientists. In 1922, Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics “for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them.” A prolific scientific collaborator, Bohr mentored many of the great scientific minds of the 20th century.

The recipe for this stout [10% ABV, brewed with raisins and spice] was conceived by Mikkeller and brewed in collaboration with Cigar City Brewing.”

Dirac Stout label copy:

“Born: 8-8-1902 Bristol, England. Died: 20-10-1984 Tallahassee, Florida. Paul Dirac was one of the founders of what became modern Quantum Mechanics and along with Erwin Schrodinger won the Nobel Prize in 1933.

The recipe for this stout [10% ABV, brewed with raisins and spice] was conceived by Wayne Wambles, Head Brewer at Cigar City Brewing and brewed in collaboration with Mikkeller.”

If I recall correctly some of this beer will be squirreled away in rum barrels.
