Who: Hosted by the Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) and presented by On Tap Credit Union, Collaboration Fest is the original collaboration beer festival that showcases the unique and collaborative culture of Colorado’s craft beer scene. At this Colorado Brewers Guild fundraiser, CBG members team up with independent brewers near and far, sometimes spanning multiple states and even continents, to create one-of-a-kind beers that highlight each brewer’s distinct brewing methods and styles.
What: The CBG proudly unveils the festival’s beer collaborations this year which feature 133 unique beers (including an international collaboration) and 175 participating breweries. Tickets for the festival are on sale now and can be purchased online.
Want to learn more about the beers at Collaboration Fest? Each week the CBG will release more information on their stories page about the beers you can try on March 25. Learn about new beer styles, yeast, and science (such as the resurgence of thiolized beer at the fest), hoppy beers, and more.
When: Saturday, March 25 from 2 to 6 p.m. (early entry begins at 2 p.m. and general admission begins at 3 p.m.)
Where: The Westin Westminster (10600 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, CO 80020)
Why: Whether it’s tried-and-true classics like Belgian beer or experimental creations like beers brewed with an oyster mushroom blend, there is a beer for every taste palate at Collaboration Fest. This is the festival where brewers can brew their favorite beers, like lagers and IPAs, or let their imaginations run wild, so be sure to snag your tickets before they sell out!
