A Festival of Innovation and Collaboration
This year, attendees can look forward to over 130 exclusive collaboration beers brewed specifically for the event. Since its inception in 2014, Collaboration Fest has served as a creative hub for brewers to push the boundaries of beer-making, crafting everything from classic styles like Pilsners and Munich Dunkels to unconventional creations such as a smoked pulled pork stout and a Horchata-inspired cream ale. These unique beers are often unavailable outside of the festival, making it a must-attend event for craft beer enthusiasts.
“Collaboration Fest has grown to become one of the top beer festivals in the nation, and it is received so well because it is, by and large, a brewers’ beer festival,” says CBG Communications Manager Carrie Knose Wilson. “The festival can often be a launching pad that sparks friendships between collaborating breweries or a way for two breweries to pair their respective strengths. Regardless of why breweries team up, the imaginative talent that is showcased at Collaboration Fest has no bounds!”
