Colorado Brewers Guild Hosts the Original Collaborative Craft Beer Festival
More than 175 craft breweries and 120 beers will be celebrated at this year’s Collaboration Fest.
Collaboration Fest is hosted by the Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) and presented by On Tap Credit Union; this original collaborative craft beer festival pairs CBG member breweries with craft breweries in Colorado and beyond.
This year’s Collaboration Fest welcomes over 20 out-of-state brewers. Two international collaborations will participate.
Where is Collaboration Fest?
Collaboration Fest, which is celebrating its eighth year, will be held at The Westin Westminster (10600 Westminster Blvd, Westminster, CO 80020) on Saturday, March 25, from 2 to 6 p.m., with early entry beginning at 2 p.m. General admission begins at 3 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online.
“Not only are members of the State of Craft Beer teaming up with one another,” said Shawnee Adelson, CBG executive director. I’m delighted to see non-Colorado breweries such as Beachwood Brewing and Monday Night Brewing on the roster, as well as Cyprez Tap Room out of Mexico,” said Shawnee Adelson, CBG executive director. “This proves that Collaboration Fest is a world-class beer event that brings breweries near and far.”
