Bay Area beer maven Chuck Stilphen is tripling up on his partnership up with one of the world’s most celebrated breweries.

After teaming with Copenhagen-based craft brewery Mikkeller to open up Mikkeller Bar in San Francisco and announcing plans to build a 7,600-square-foot sister establishment in downtown Los Angeles (set to open this fall), Stilphen confirmed that he’s morphing his much more modest Trappist Provisions in Oakland’s Rockridge district into a Mikkeller Tasting Room & Bottle Shop . In fact, the process has already begun, says Stilphen, who expects the transition to be complete sometime in August.

“We’re probably not going to close at all, it will just slowly transform into a Mikkeller-looking place over the next few weeks,” he said.

The reason? Stilphen, who also owns The Trappist in Old Oakland and Øl Beercafe & Bottle Shop in Walnut Creek thought it was time for a change at the Rockridge tap room/bottle shop, which opened in late 2012 specializing in rare Belgian/European brews. Plus, Mikkeller just launched its first brewery in San Diego, which will supply the majority of the 12 taps, along with a couple of Europe-brewed Mikkeller beers and two or three California offerings. The bottle selection, meanwhile, will consist of about 80-percent Mikkeller labels. Food will remain minimal, consisting most of cheese and charcuterie.
