The Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) announced 165+ participating craft breweries that will pour at Collaboration Fest on March 30, 2024 from 2 to 6 p.m. at The Westin Westminster — that includes 20 out-of-state breweries, and will feature more than 120 collaboration beers.
“Collaboration Fest is definitely one of my favorites every year! There are so many amazing and unique beers to sample while exploring the brewers’ creativity when they step out of their comfort zone and try something different,” says Strange Craft Beer Company Head Brewer and Co-Owner Tim Myers. “It’s not only Colorado breweries as there is always a decent-sized collection of out of state breweries in attendance as well. Best of all, what other industry enjoys the camaraderie of creating and sharing new ideas together, not as competitors, but as collaborators?!”
Collaboration Fest started in 2014 and pairs Colorado Brewers Guild member breweries with independent brewers near and far to create unique collaborations. It is a great event that showcases the creative and cooperative culture of Colorado’s craft beer scene, with breweries like Cannonball Creek Brewing Company, River North Brewery, Ska Brewing Company and Strange Craft Beer Company that have attended and poured at every Collaboration Fest since inception.
Collaboration Fest has grown over the years to become one of the most revered craft festivals in the country having recently been named one of the top beer festivals in the United States according to the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice travel awards. Collaboration Fest tickets may be purchased online. General admission tickets cost $65 plus fees and VIP tickets cost $85 plus fees.
“This is the largest gathering of Colorado craft breweries in one place and the creativity they bring makes this one of my favorite events of the year. It is such a joy to see the festival’s continued success,” says CBG Executive Director Shawnee Adelson. “This CBG fundraiser is an extension of what makes the Colorado craft beer scene so special and unique.”
Collaboration Fest is sponsored by On Tap Credit Union, with support from our additional sponsors Propagate Yeast, Hopstiener, Go Tab, Cascade Floors among many others.
