In an age when beer festivals have become a dime a dozen, Collaboration Fest remains a bastion of creativity and innovation. With 122 collaboration projects, uniting 195 breweries spanning 41 different states, along with two international breweries, this year’s Collaboration Fest once again captures the true spirit of community, which has been so deeply ingrained in the craft beer industry.

Over the years, the chance to collaborate on special one-off projects has allowed breweries to push the boundaries on innovation and creativity in their beers. This morning, Collaboration Fest, announced a working initial pour list lineup, and from what we can infer thus far, this year’s participants are pulling out all the stops once again. That said, deciding between which of these specialty beers to try can be a bit daunting, so here’s a quick breakdown based on what we know thus far.

This year’s 6th Annual Collaboration Fest taking place on Saturday, March 16 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Denver, will be upping the ante to include over 100 unique beers from over 200 breweries. The event runs from 3-6pm for General Admission ticket holders with VIP ticket holders having access to the festival from 2-6pm. Tickets are currently available for $65 for General Admission with VIP ringing in at $85.

Be sure to check in with PorchDrinking as we get closer to the event, as we’ll have more in-depth coverage on some of the fest’s most interesting collaborations and we’ll be giving away a pair of tickets to the festival as well.
