More than 135 breweries will pour their most creative and innovative brews for beloved Colorado Brewers Guild fundraiser
DENVER— More than 135 breweries will be showcasing their one-of-a-kind creations at Collaboration Fest. Collaboration Fest is the original collaboration beer festival where Colorado Brewers Guild members team up with brewers both near and far and let their imaginations run wild. Brewery collaborations for the festival showcase each brewer’s distinct brewing methods, while highlighting the cooperative nature of the Colorado craft beer scene.
This year’s Colorado Brewers Guild fundraiser will feature more than 95 collaborations from Colorado craft brewers and beyond. Hosted by the Colorado Brewers Guild and presented by On Tap Credit Union, Collaboration Fest will be held at the Fillmore Auditorium (1510 N Clarkson St, Denver, CO 80218) on April 2 from 2 to 6 p.m.
New to the festival this year will be appearances from some of your favorite beer authors: Joshua M. Bernstein, Michael Casey, John Frank, Ed Sealover and Jonathan Shikes. All will be selling and signing their books at Collaboration Fest.
“Collaborative beers are showcases of innovations, two—or three or four!—breweries getting together to dream big in a brew kettle. Rarely do you get a chance to try so many creative liquid collaborations beneath one roof,” says Joshua M. Bernstein, Brooklyn-based beer writer and author of Drink Better Beer. “Drink them today, because chances are they'll be gone tomorrow.”
