I read that this week as well. I have a brewer friend who is an acquaintance of theirs and had told me of the rift, but I didn't appreciate the extent until reading this. They both produce outstanding beers, and the gypsy aspect is very interesting. I highly recommend going to Tørst if you are in NYC. I do note that their current bar menu lists a Mikkeller beer, so maybe they are settling their differences.

Read that earlier this week as well. I was extremely surprised that they are both gypsy brewers, I would have never guessed! They both make some damn good recipes!

Here's what the coolest thing is about Tørst:
Behind the gorgeous marble bar is Tørst's secret lodestar: the so-called "flux capacitor," a red-lit, glass-enclosed control panel under the taps. It was designed by Gabe Gordon, the chef, brewer, and owner of Beachwood BBQ in Long Beach.
The flux capacitor allows the bar's stewards to calibrate nitrogen and carbon dioxide mixes and adjust compression of each tap, "which means you can serve all beers absolutely perfectly." It also employs a Glycol system, meaning beer can be served at four different temperatures: Imperial stouts and barleywines at 52, dry stouts at 48, IPAs at 42, and pilsners at 38 degrees, for example.
