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

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.
