Collaboration Fest

March 16th | 2-6pm | Hyatt Regency Denver

Established in 2014, Collaboration Fest combines two of the most fundamental elements of craft beer: uniqueness and comradery. Back for its 6th year, this unique festival allows brewers from all over to team up with their fellow Colorado Brewers Guild members to create a special beer. With 100+ beer projects brewing up with 200 participating breweries, some of the most exciting, rare, and delicious recipes are bound to happen.

Why Goats on Goats on Goats?

Following medal wins at Great American Beer Festival in 2018, Gilded Goat Brewing Company, out of Fort Collins, CO, and Goat Patch Brewing Company, out of Colorado Springs, CO, decided to team up for a Collab Fest beer. Who is the last goat? Billy Goat Hop Farm, located in Montrose, CO, established in 2017 on an old barley farm and now provides fresh, Colorado hops to breweries around the state.

The Beer

Two batches of the jasmine and rose hip Saison will be brewed, one at each brewery, and will then be released at Collab Fest this March. Why two different versions? So that there will be a sour version and a “clean” version of the same Saison – sure to delight every pallet! Each brewery will then release the Collaboration in their taprooms for their guests to enjoy.
