Celebrate the Community of Craft Beer at the 2017 Collaboration Fest
The Fourth Annual Collaboration Fest Returns to Denver March 25th, 2017
The Colorado Brewers Guild and Two Parts have come together to host the 4th annual 2017 craft beer Collaboration Fest this March 25. Collaboration Fest brings together over 100 participating breweries to create 75+ “beer projects” brewed specifically for the festival. This celebration highlights one of the craft beer industry’s best characteristics, their long-standing spirit of community. Here’s how it works:
For every beer collaboration project, a Colorado-based brewery partners up with at least one other brewer (or two, or five) of their choosing to create something unique. These partnerships often include brewers from around the corner, a neighboring state, or 10 time zones away… past collaborations have even stretched around the globe. These mash-ups often end up blending genres to create unique and unexpected beers. The full list of 2017 collaborations can be found below.

About the Brewtography Project
Dustin is an avid photographer and home brewer living in Denver, Colorado. He started the Brewtography Project in the summer of 2013 while sitting in one of his favorite local breweries realizing it would be a fun location to photograph. The project aims to capture the unique personality, feel, and methodology of Colorado’s breweries, cideries and distilleries through photography – telling the stories of the people working in them, allowing everyone a window into the culture of this amazing industry.
